Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of characters from Epic Movie

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Merge→Epic Movie and delete (don't keep the redirect). The discussants are split between "Delete" and "Merge" recommendations; however, 'no consensus' would lead to the unacceptable outcome (based on consensus) of the article remaining in its present form. A few of the "delete" inputs imply that "merge" would be an acceptable outcome as they contain statements like "no particular reason ... (for) spinoff article" and "no good reason for an article split" and "does not warrant a sub-page". --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 02:32, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

List of characters from Epic Movie

Most of those characters are either characters only featured in this movie, obvious parodies, or characters from other movies that already have a full article. Any notable character can be included on the main page, plus Jack Swallows and White Bitch already redirect to the main article, so should the rest.

Delete because there is no particular reason why a one-time film should warrant its own spin-off article when the information could easily be compressed into a table citing the actor, the role, and what actual role it parodied. As for the plot detail that goes with each character, Wikipedia is not a plot summary. Any plot detail should already be covered at Epic Movie#Plot (which I just noticed is of ridiculous length -- it needs a trimming). —Erik (talk • contrib) - 12:35, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - there's no good reason for an article split, especially when many of these character descriptions are barely more than could be expected in the plot summary. Girolamo Savonarola 13:28, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete It does not warrant a sub-page, and most of the character descriptions are less than a few lines long - • The Giant Puffin • 14:10, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with the article on the movie itself. The film isn't notable enough to warrant special treatment like this though a list of the parodies would be of interest, just not as a separate article. 23skidoo 14:11, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge prt 23skidoo. No reason to keep it a separate article ff m 16:22, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge Add any information that's not in the main article and delete this subpage. A single film doesn't warrant this much coverage of the characters. --Nehrams2020 20:25, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
