P. G. Wodehouse minor characters

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This list is completely unsourced or cited to primary sources, and cannot meet the WP:GNG. None of these characters meet our WP:Notability guidelines separately or as a compilation, as they are not mentioned in any sources that can be found, except as passing mention. With a few exceptions, combining random non-notable minor characters into a singular list gives you a non-notable list. Jontesta (talk) 19:07, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep The nomination's assertions are false as the content is detailed in sources such as Who's Who in Wodehouse and A Wodehouse Companion and so passes WP:GNG and WP:LISTN. See also WP:NEXIST and WP:ATD, "If editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page."  Andrew🐉(talk) 10:49, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete One source for a huge list like this in no way demonstrates significance.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:33, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
 * The page already has more than one source and more sources are suggested above. Andrew🐉(talk) 16:35, 24 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete - "Minor" denotes that they are inconsequential to the audience of a general encyclopedia. They can be easily summarized in prose if context is desired. Character lists are supposed to be the gathering of necessary fictional context of important characters for the purpose of not clogging up plot summaries. This is not such a case, and there are no sources showing general notability otherwise. TTN (talk) 17:12, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
