A contested redirect, an unreferenced list, and technically too old to draftify. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 14:44, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and trim if needed. 1) The topic is Industry (TV series) so notability is established. 2) as a SIZE OR WP:SS split of a notable topic, primary sources are just fine for meeting V and NPOV policies. 3) LISTN is satisfied by WP:CSC point 2, every entry is non-notable.

Keep as a reasonable split from Industry (TV series). Sourcing is terrible (this is pretty common across Category:Lists of television characters in my experience), but that doesn't mean the topic isn't notable or shouldn't be covered in a standalone article.

Delete Fails WP:NOTPLOT. Plot summary not put in context using sources. Wikipedia is not FANDOM. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:12, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Zxcvbnm - The main Industry (TV series) article already has an extensive character list section, making this a needless spinout. The major plot information for the characters is already included in the parent article, and this list contains nothing but unsourced, overly detailed plot summaries, so no merge is needed.

Redirect to Industry (TV series)#Cast where the characters are covered already. While the list doesn't have much, there is a viable redirect target to act as an AtD; @Zxcvbnm @Rorshacma would you two be opposed to this alternative? Has one ever considered Magneton?

There doesn't seem to be a need for a redirect, which makes it easy to reverse and recreate the list article. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:03, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Zxcvbnm Rest assured, if the AfD results in a redirect, anyone re-reverting it are not the ones who'll get in trouble. If you don't see the need for a redirect, though, don't let the last sentence influence your !vote. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 09:41, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:NOTPLOT and WP:SIGCOV. Split articles are not exempt from policies, and having one main article isn't an automatic pass for multiple spinouts. If splitting would create a failing article, the answer is to trim, not split. Jontesta (talk)
Keep Added sources. UnknownBat (talk) 08:49, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@UnknownBat Are there any sources located off the Vulture website? /genuine /curious /NotMad I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 09:42, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I will also note that these seem to be plot recaps, which aren't an indication of character notability. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 02:25, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per WP:ATD. Deletion makes sense due to a lack of WP:SIGCOV. But it's a valid enough search term, and preserves the history if anyone wants to work on the list at the main article. Shooterwalker (talk) 13:38, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
