List of minor Ukridge characters

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

None of these characters have significant coverage in reliable third party sources to meet the WP:GNG. Sources show passing mentions or less, with no meaningful coverage to reach notability. Tried to remove this content through the WP:PROD process but was reverted with no reason or effort to address the issue. Jontesta (talk) 01:08, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Who decides what is minor? We don't have a List of Ukridge characters, so merge the few referenced parts to List of P. G. Wodehouse characters, given the cited ref (Who's Who in Wodehouse) suggestes the latter list meets WP:NLIST. This one is mostly WP:FANCRUFT that does not. PS. Alt merge target: Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 08:53, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep and rename (to remove 'minor') Lists of not-individually notable characters from notable fictional franchises is one of the listed reasons under WP:CSC. Jclemens (talk) 12:32, 24 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete or merge per Piotrus. There isn't an exception to requiring sources for stand alone lists, and WP:LISTN states that Notability guidelines also apply to the creation of stand-alone lists. There isn't WP:SIGCOV of this grouping in reliable sources that are also independent of the subject. Shooterwalker (talk) 16:39, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
 * The notability is for the fictional franchise; it doesn't need to be in this article per WP:NEXIST. Notability is a topical, not article, scope. Jclemens (talk) 03:37, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
 * All the Ukridge short stories appear to have their own articles with some citations of unappraised usefulness, covered succinctly at P. G. Wodehouse short stories bibliography. I'll note that Ukridge (short story collection) also appears to be a reasonable merge target... but I faintly suspect the characters might have individual notability, if anyone cared to look into them, but I am note a Wodehouse afficionado.

 * Merge as proposed by nom. GenuineArt (talk) 13:09, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of P. G. Wodehouse characters (or to Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge). Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 14:06, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Note to closing admin I still don't see much properly sourced material. But everyone is suggesting to merge and I will accept it if someone wants to tag this with Template:Afd-merge required on close. Jontesta (talk) 16:04, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
