Keep - There are around 40 novels in the Xanth series and many characters on this character list have been major characters in the novels. I was not around to save Goblin family of Xanth which should have been kept for the same reason. So unless every character list on Wikipedia is getting deleted, then a character list which spans dozens of novels should be kept. LA (T) @ 07:35, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete It seems like the reason these articles exist is the author was trying to split up the list of Xanth characters by character types. I think trimming the list is a better idea. Not every character needs to be on it.--Yellow Diamond Δ Direct Line to the Diamonds 00:31, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with List of Xanth characters. A couple of these characters are likely important enough to include in the main character list. I can do the merge. --Cerebellum (talk) 01:48, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if anyone is going to search for magicians of xanth for these characters, so I think we should delete it outright. But the individual character names, if important enough, should become redirects.--Yellow Diamond Δ Direct Line to the Diamonds 05:24, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wait, you said merge. Well, I agree with that. Merge. Yellow Diamond Δ Direct Line to the Diamonds 05:24, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
