List of characters in Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire[edit]

Disputable notability, many of the characters listed only appeared for one story arc, and for the most part have no real world notability (even though the comic may) Completely unsourced. OSborn^arf_{contributionatoration} 16:29, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Widthdrawn nom. Can an admin formally close this for me? OSborn^arf_{contributionatoration} 04:55, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's not unsourced, it's all based on primary source. It's an offshoot of Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, and in line with our editing policy it should be edited in a manner which preserves the information inherent. Our guidance suggests that lists are a way of branching out information from main articles. Suggest the article is edited to weed out anything which is not self evident from the primary sources, and then perhaps a decision can be made as to whether to keep this a standalone list or merge it back to the parent article.

Keep or Merge. I split the list off as the main page was getting obscenely long. If secondary sorces can be found: keep it. If secondary sources are not found: merge it back with the main page. Deletion in this case is simply inapropriate no matter how you word it: the subject of this article's parent's notability is unquestionable (unless you decide that you know better than Wikipedia policy, like so many deletionists believe they do), and this page is simply split off of that so that they are each easier to look through and load.

Keep but cut it down a lot to remove any speculation or OR. The minor characters really don't need a huge amount of detail if so little is known about them. However, as an essential part of the main article, which is undoubtedly notable, it should be kept. A partial merge of only the main characters to the main article might be a good idea, and then keep this article for a listing and brief description of all the characters, including minor ones.

Delete or partially merge with parent article. Non-notable, and many of these characters appeared briefly or haven't actually appEared in the comic at all. -Sean Curtin (talk) 07:30, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
