List of Kids Next Door operatives[edit]

Indiscriminate list of non-notable characters. --treelo _talk 01:42, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or merge with another article. Seems like a really long article for a show like Kids Next Door. -- Redfarmer (talk) 00:06, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I don't see an AFD tag on the page, and not sure how to properly fix that, but you can't get anywhere without the proper tagging. Then I would vote to delete as original research with no possibility of wp:rs and wp:v Pharmboy (talk) 00:08, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I be damned, I did figure it out. Article is now properly tagged. Delete for wp:or that can't pass wp:v and has no wp:rs. Pharmboy (talk) 00:10, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete basicaly nothing more then an orignal research collection of plot elements. The references are not even primary sources they are someones live journal page. Ridernyc (talk) 06:56, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per all above.IslaamMaged126 (talk) 19:41, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete A list of non-notable fictional characters does not belong on Wikipedia Alexfusco⁵ 19:54, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per all of the above. Alloranleon (talk) 19:55, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Though I asked for the discussion, after some review I won't support keeping the article. I agree that there's a lot of useless and unsupported claims in the KND articles, and there are more that aren't notable (such as List of places in Codename: Kids Next Door, as one example). Instead of the various articles for the show, would a single article listing the recurring characters (operatives, villains, family, etc.) with pithy, supportable entries still be considered too much?

- Comment Thanks for mentioning that, there's a whole bunch of location articles I wasn't aware of and will nominate them for deletion. As for the list of major and recurring secondary characters, I'm surprised there isn't a singular character list bringing together the three lists which exist now. Bring that into existence and it'll fulfil the criteria for lists of that sort. --treelo _talk 21:32, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Well, adding my opinion to what appears to be WP:SNOWBALL, but I do want to just add that most of these appear to be what I like to call one-shots, characters introduced to build a single plot element, and never reappear. It seems to me that many shows have a "more than one appearance" consensus before listing characters, to avoid lists such as this. Yng varr 23:30, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Late addition of another article which is also superfluous. --treelo _talk 01:42, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Don't add things to a debate this far into the debate, make a new AFD for it. Ridernyc (talk) 01:50, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Agreed. That isn't fair to the author of the original page, nor the persons who have already piped in with a comment, as their opinions may differ for each article. A seperate afd should be drawn. Pharmboy (talk) 02:46, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Done, removed the link and a separate afd nom has been made for the article. --treelo _talk 16:59, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Masterpiece2000 (talk) 08:29, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but only if all one-off characters are removed. Tenk you veddy much. --Wack'd ^{Talk to me! • Admire my handiwork!} 01:20, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep as per Wack'd. Delete otherwise. Ferdia O'Brien ^(T)/_(C) 13:50, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
