Fails WP:LISTN. All minor characters have been deleted (ok, few final AfDs are ongoing but the outcome is rather clear), and otherwise this fails NFICTION too. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:47, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, delete. But I'd suggest a List of supporting characters in Judge Dredd to include some of the more significant characters in the series who are being proposed for deletion. --Nicknack009 (talk) 07:37, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Rename into List of Judge Dredd characters, remove all the insignificant characters and make this a merge target for all JD characters with stand-alone article who shouldn't have one.– sgeureka ^t•c 07:57, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Rename as above. It's only called List of Minor Characters because the major characters had their own articles; now they're being moved here. Also this article was created in 2006 as the direct result of an AfD debate in which the consensus was to start a list article. Richard75 (talk) 10:02, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Rename as above. Why is deletion of information seen as a good thing? Maybe these characters do not need standalone articles, but a composite article is fine. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:32, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There may be a useful list, but keeping this list is going to preserve it along the lines of an indiscriminate list, which we do not need.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:08, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The list is a mess of unnecessary plot details. Even if a list of major and secondary characters is desired, I believe starting from scratch is better. TTN (talk) 18:49, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: the above two comments are about content rather than notability. Content can always be improved, rewritten, edited or pruned. That's easier than starting from scratch, and which approach is best tells us nothing about whether the article should exist or not. Richard75 (talk) 11:11, 18 December 2019 (UTC) I have pruned the list of some entries which did not belong there. Richard75 (talk) 11:37, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

TNT delete Per TTN. Better to just create the List of Judge Dredd characters rather than it being in any way based on this one._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 19:13, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Rename and trim. Deleting beforehand or not would purely be a personal preference. Probably best not to TNT unless a deletion advocate took on the onus to do the recreation in good faith. Plus, Richard75 has already demonstrated some good faith trimming, so I have to lean that way. -2pou (talk) 22:12, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
