List of minor InuYasha characters

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

A list of inor characters would seem to be a self-declared list of unnotable characters that is unnecessary and unencyclopedic. Fails WP:FICT with excessive WP:PLOT. Pure fancruft better suited for an InuYasha fansite or one of the anime wikis. Collectonian 11:33, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep or merge: The characters are called "minor" not because they are unimportant, but because they are not quite as important as the major characters listed in List of InuYasha characters. I assume that it was separated from that article to avoid exceeding the old limit on the size of articles. It provides background information which is useful to those of us watching the anime or reading the manga. If it did not exist, it would be recreated in some form because there is a demand for this information. JRSpriggs 01:10, 3 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. I agree, it's useful information. Unfortunately, it's also OR, with no showing of WP:V, and questionable under WP:FICT as most of them show up for one or two episodes and never are heard from again. One of these days someone (maybe me) will make an amime/magna wiki where this stuff can go. It's super popular, but that still doesn't mean it meets WP guidelines.

 * Delete fails just about every policy and guideline relating to fictional works. Sorry but I"m tired of listing them all. I really need to make a script for "aritcle fails WP:Plot.  Ridernyc 23:09, 3 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep They are important to the storyline and must be stated. Tourskin 04:59, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * What? Where in the rules does it state that?  We aren't here to replace the storyline, we're here to summarise.  Summarise means abbreviate, it means detail gets skipped, it doesn't mean repeat in totality. An article describing why they are important to the storyline might be a better bet, that this list doesn't do that. Hiding T 13:48, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
