Article has but a single source, and google search doesn't yield any coverage of the characters as a whole. Per WP:LISTN - a list needs to show significant coverage as a whole to establish notability.

Here's some other discussions of lists of characters:

Rewrite - redirect to main article
Warriors - no conclusion
Mercenaries - delete
Fantastic Four - delete

Redirect and merge to Kingsman (franchise)#Main cast and characters, with the possibility of the article being restored if the series grows exponentially. InfiniteNexus (talk) 17:19, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for weighing in! Seems like if we merged we'd just be adding fancruft to that article? I'd agree with merging if there were any sources cited for the character sections but it's all probably just primary source info from the films themselves.

Merge per above. Note that you've cited a 2010 (!) multiple-target AfD that would not be closed as delete under current, more appropriate applications of ATDs. Also, Lists of characters from a fictional work are the same topic as the fictional work: If the topic or franchise is notable, a character (or episode, for that matter) list is an appropriate WP:SS spinout article. That's not an excuse for OR, of course. Jclemens (talk) 18:34, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for contributing! What's OR? SpookyTwenty (talk) 13:28, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
WP:OR is something you should already be familiar with before nominating any article for deletion. Jclemens (talk) 07:59, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Familiar with the concept. Too many acronyms around here SpookyTwenty (talk) 15:05, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There is no crossover between the first two and the third film, and not a great deal within the first two films. Characters can be named on the individual film's article, as they are already. Ajf773 (talk) 08:44, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as InfiniteNexus suggested. Lewcm (talk) 13:48, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Any thoughts to my question on InfiniteNexus' post? "Seems like if we merged we'd just be adding fancruft to that article?" The existing article is basically 100% fancruft and uncited so merging would just add the cruft to the main article. SpookyTwenty (talk) 17:24, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Kingsman (franchise)#Main cast and characters. Could be a viable article, but right now it's 100% cruft. Needs a rewrite. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:28, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per above. If someone finds sources they can expand it at the target. Shooterwalker (talk) 02:01, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
