FBI on The Sopranos[edit]

Appears to be entirely original research. Maybe there's a Sopranos wiki for this somewhere? Bdb484 (talk) 20:48, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I can see the concern, and there is some language that needs to be removed, not to mention a complete lack of sourcing, but I'm inclined to give room to these sorts of articles when they involve high-profile long running shows. There are already character pages for most major, and some mid-level characters. Having all of the FBI characters in one list is much more useful than having individual pages.

Delete as wholly unreferenced to any reliable secondary sources, and consisting entirely of either plot or original research. — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 00:44, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It is easy to find substantial sources for this such as "Tasting Brylcreem: Law, Disorder and the FBI in The Sopranos", Reading the Sopranos. See Google Books for many more. The article should be kept for further work in accordance with our editing policy. As this source has been added to the article, pd_THOR's comments are now obsolete.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Keep lists of characters on fictional topics are acceptable, and The Sopranos has been the topic of published books which cover the characters rather thoroughly. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:40, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This isn't a list of characters; this is a synthesis of a list of characters with a running theme of the show. Pretty much the definition of original research, absent actual citations in the article's text from sources that would make this a viable article. Townlake (talk) 19:04, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Significant major theme from very major series. DGG ( talk ) 04:22, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
