The result was speedy keep. I'm closing as Speedy Keep per SK1 as 1. Nominator hasn't searched for anything and 2. AFD isn't a clean up solution! (non-admin closure) – Davey 2010 Talk 00:12, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment: A robust, good-faith nomination might have mentioned the possibility of a merge and redirest to List of minor characters in the Matrix series and that this was one of a series of related nominations. Stuartyeates (talk) 21:42, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - the list of minor characters is already WP:TOOLONG. Merging this entire series of AfDs into the list would make it way too WP:TOOBIG. VMS Mosaic (talk) 01:36, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - There is no evidence that the nominator has tried any alternatives to deletion, such as looking at the literature to see if The Oracle is notable. The Oracle has attracted critical commentary as a "magical negro" or "mammy" figure, and a google scholar search for oracle "The Matrix" film gives 3400 results. AFD should not be used for cleanup, and AFDing all the characters in one go means that it would be difficult for anyone to fix the articles in the time given. --110.20.234.69 (talk) 05:49, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
