Unreferenced list with original research. An article on this topic was previously deleted in 2010. The previous nomination for this article was withdrawn solely because a category exists for this group, but that has nothing to do with the encyclopedicity of this article. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 03:02, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep - it's true this is missing references, but this is a list and appears to be a meaningful distinction of the characters referenced. - Scarpy (talk) 19:31, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral Whatever the outcome of this discussion, it is meaningfully tied to the category, so whatever outcome happens here should be mirrored there. Also: this seems like an unusual definition, though there has been non-WP coverage of it (though not entirely reliable?), including the blog of an interior landscaping company, the the blog of a specialty toy company, and this list from Comic Book Resources.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

WP:VAGUEWAVE applies here. Just pointing at 3 policies does not make an argument. This wrong-named list should be deleted. We already know that you want everything to be kept. » Shadowowl | talk 10:27, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Basically a transcription of a clickbaity top-10 style list. There are not sufficient sources here to satisfy WP:LISTN._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 07:47, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete- chronically undersourced and crufty list in the same style as other previously deleted "List of fictional characters with XYZ powers" and the like. Reyk _YO! 14:43, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete –What's the point of this? Seems to be WP:OR. Doesn't pass WP:GNG and it doesn't appear to pass WP:V either. Redditaddict6 9 09:48, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
