Wikipedia articles are not lists of loosely associated topics such as persons (real or fictional). Extremely trivial connection to base a list of fictional characters on. Croxley 02:34, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. Potentially endless list of little value. Megapixie 04:14, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. First, triviality is in the eye of the beholder. Second organizing fictional characters by affiliation as in, for example List of fictional Medal of Honor recipients or by characteristic as in, for example List of fictional characters frozen in cryogenic freeze, is valuable to those interested in the organization or characteristic. The Dartmouth list, while needing expanding and perhaps merging into the main Dartmouth College site is worthy of inclusion. --Crunch 11:25, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete crufty, unencyclopedic listmongering. Eusebeus 15:18, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong delete - indiscriminate collection of fictional characters with nothing in common except when they were being thought up the author picked "Dartmouth" instead of some other school. The existence of a Medal of Honor winners or a cryogenically frozen characters list has no bearing on whether this article should exist. Under no circumstances should this list be merged to any article on Dartmouth or its alumni. 17:36, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
