X-men (deaths)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

list of people who died in the x-men films. Even I draw the line somewhere when it comes to fiction, and this is it. No sources, no meaningful content, no real reason to keep Jac 16888 Talk 11:27, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete As with the other article, Heroes (deaths) First, I don't want to criticize the author, because I see this, and the other article as a test-run to see what the reception would be for this type of information.  Second, there is a certain curiosity about who has been killed during a series -- the thought has crossed my mind to compile a list of the people who were killed off in the original Star Trek TV series, in which almost every episode had a gratuitous death of a crewman.  In Star Trek, of course, one could compile a similar list of "temporary" deaths of the main characters.  That said, however, I view this type of article as too much plot summary for any work of fiction, and I would be reluctant to open the door for a series of such articles, particularly in a series of films that have been drawn from a long running comic book series.  Part of the action in any show includes people being killed off, because non-fatal injuries are not interesting.  Mandsford (talk) 13:44, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, I recently learned about a thriller in which an injured woman is in a hospital hiding from a serial killer. The injury largely incapacitates here, which makes the film more suspenseful and in my opinion a lot more interesting than the general slasher flicks. - Mgm|(talk) 09:24, 20 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Information like this can be covered in film and character articles and in character lists; the relevant infoboxes for fictional characters usually have a status field where their death can be noted. There is no need to spin this particular piece of information out to a new list. - Mgm|(talk) 09:24, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per Mgm. Ben   Mac  Dui  15:15, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Rewrite, unless someone does a complete rewrite of the article and gives it references, delete.Smallman12q (talk) 22:50, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm fairly sure we've deleted lists like this before, but this is composed of randomly chosen scraps of plot. Shattering plots into many tiny shards and building a multitude of different collages of them is not the way to write an encyclopedia. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire - past ops) 01:24, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Userfy Heroes Deaths is also up for deletion. Also by the same poor new editor. Ikip (talk) 01:55, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete There's no real reason for this to have a separate article.--Unionhawk (talk) 13:19, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Merely plot repetition. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 19:05, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
