List of schizophrenic fictional characters

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Completely unreferenced, speculative WP:OR. Many entries probably added by people who don't know what schizophrenia is. I am only familiar with one of these characters, River Tam, who AFAIK displays nothing even close to schizophrenia. r ʨ anaɢ (talk) 20:17, 5 June 2010 (UTC) Indenting vote of indef-blocked sockpuppeteer.

 * Delete apart from the already mentioned reasons above, Wikipedia does not need a list like this.--Spoon Maniac (talk) 20:40, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I mean, really? What's next? List of smoking fictional characters, List of lazy fictional characters, List of fat fictional characters. I don't think so.--Gordon 41  20:53, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete Ah, the good old "what's next?" argument. Fortunately, nothing came next for this 2007-vintage unsourced, uninteresting bullshit list of names.  Mandsford 01:08, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete 3 of the characters articles mention this 'diagnosis', but there are no references to support this (except for maybe one). one character had the diagnosis removed by the company marketing it after complaints from the APA. see, thats the problem. WE cant diagnose, the creator must state the character is (even if the character doesnt show accurate symptoms), or the other characters in the fictional world refer to them as such, or the character says "i am a schizophrenic". just cause a character is different in some way that people think means schizophrenia, dont make it so for fictional characters. they dont exist. remember? all we know is what is said about them. there is a lot true about me that is not said by me or others, because i am real, and this info could one day be sourced if i was notable and someone could figure it out. (at least i think i am).Mercurywoodrose (talk) 04:39, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Even if the list were more clearly defined ('as diagnosed by x'), it's still not an encyclopedia article. First Light (talk) 05:02, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as listcruft. I know it isn't that long, but considering there is no lead section, it seems like the article exists just for the purpose of being an unsourced list. Erpert (let's talk about it) 07:17, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
