List of fictional Catholics[edit]

This list is almost impossible to verify. There are no sources listed that could back up any of the content on the page. It has been tagged for cleanup and sources since September of 2006. In that time, no sources have been provided for any of the characters and the list has grown longer. I am proposing that it be deleted because it does not adhere to the policies set down in WP:LIST.

Delete; unmaintainable. Most of the characters of fiction set in a Catholic country are catholic, so that list would be enormous. Tizio 15:18, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment As a basis of comparison, look at this page. Every person is sourced and then listed alphabetically. The List of fictional Catholics is lacking any sort of organization that I can discern and is not sourced at all. --Cyrus Andiron 15:23, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Lord, please delete this glaring example of an unmaintainable, unsourced list. Amen. Resurgent insurgent 01:39, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Each entry on the list is easily verifiable because presumably all you have to do is go to the book that the character is in. However, per Tizio, it is potentially a very long list with no criteria to determine which entries are encyclopedic and which are not. This makes it unmaintainable listcruft. --Richard 05:16, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Unmaintainable. Masaruemoto 04:58, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
