List of unseen characters
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

The article is improperly named, doesn't explain what it means, isn't an actual list and is unsourced.  American Eagle  ( talk ) 04:26, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete unless a list like this is completely sourced, clearly defined in its scope, that scope reflected in the title, and is easily maintained, its of no use. the article or category "unseen characters" is enough. i am biased away from lists when categories will do, because i think the lists are usually too complex to maintain unless they are really simply defined. this is way too undefined a list idea. i will admit its alluring.

 * Delete am I the only one who does not have a clue what the list is all about? Perhaps I'm stuck in How Not to Be Seen, but without a clear context and only two entries it must go. NVO (talk) 05:01, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete per American Eagle. --Anna Lincoln (talk) 07:54, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect The anon has a good point. The article on the topic lists some notable such characters with a clear definition. When the list gets long enough, we can consider breaking it out. (I'm surprised that Charlie from Charlie's Angels isn't mentioned and partly unseen characters like the parents of Cow and Chicken and Wilson from Home Improvement should have their own section. The list has no real meat to survive AFD. - Mgm|(talk) 09:20, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect This belongs in the article unseen character, where a good list can be found-- just click on history and look back to the larger version. Someone made his own personal "improvements" (i.e., erased part of it) a few months back, but it's easily located.  Mandsford (talk) 13:14, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Do you not recall Articles for deletion/Unseen character (2nd nomination)? It was followed by Articles for deletion/Unseen character (3rd nomination). &#9786; Uncle G (talk) 09:08, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect--this is the second re-creation of the article? One wonders if MGM's examples were to be found on the earlier versions. A redirect seems like the best option for now, and I'm going to browse through the history, looking for MGM's suggestions and the son from Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?. Oh, and the parents from Charlie and Lola, the best TV show in the world. Drmies (talk) 14:29, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * They were. Uncle G (talk) 09:08, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect This belongs in the parent article, and is a like search term for those who are somewhat familiar with Wikipedia. In the future, if necessary, it can be split off. --Patar knight - chat/contributions 22:53, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Restore the deleted material which is hundreds of entries long, almost all of which could be verified, and would not fit in the main article. DGG (talk) 04:24, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * As a matter of fact, nothing has been deleted from the article that we're discussing. As far as articles that aren't under discussion, the essay WP:SOFIXIT would be applicable.  Mandsford (talk) 12:29, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
