Characters in Fantastic Four (1994 TV series)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

As with previous like articles brought to AFD (see: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of characters in the Fantastic Four film series, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of characters in the Hulk film series, and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of characters in the Superman film series - this list is a back-fill construction made from full sections of the character articles it points to. There is little or no attempt to summarize the information from those articles, it is just copied and pasted in place. The result here is an over long, inconsistent mish-mash of plot summary and character bios. It also serves the same purpose as Fantastic Four (1994 TV series)#Cast.

We have had a number of like content fork lists come through AfD and PROD from this editor, the bulk of which have resulted in the removal of the cut-and-paste lists. This is becoming disruptive - the discovery of new or additional like "lists" after the last batch has been deleted and having to go through the same presentation that "Yes, it's cut-and-past. Yes, it's an unneeded back-fill. And yes it is a carbon copy of already existing material." J Greb (talk) 06:37, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Unnecessary duplicate, although I avoid 'per nom' in the case of these lists I basically agree with what J Greb has stated and have nothing to add. Someone another 06:00, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete (and all the others here as well) redundant in concept to individual character articles which would be across the entire range of appearances, and redundant in concept to the section in the movie article on characters. I dont see any reason to reformulate in this manner. any new material unique to this article really belong in the above mentioned articles.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 06:03, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
