List of minor Ranma ½ characters (anime)[edit]

List of (incredibly) minor characters, who appear almost entirely in single episodes and have little or no impact on the ongoing development of plot or other characters. Fails WP:N Dandy Sephy (talk) 19:12, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Anime and manga-related deletion discussions.

Delete on-episode/ characters are of little consequence to plot and already covered adequately in their mentions in the the summaries of the episodes. Fails WP:WAF and WP:PLOT. Absolutely no third party sourcing mentioning this minor characters at all. Also extremely redundant, with List of minor Ranma ½ characters (manga) and List of Ranma ½ minor characters lists as well...how many minor character lists did this series get?? -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 19:25, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as fancruft. -- Goodraise (talk) 19:34, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Also analogous to my comments on the manga list AfD: [1]. -- Goodraise (talk) 17:51, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Minor characters are collectively important to the story, and no different from other articles such South Park. Btw: I should probably mention that the original article was split due to the original length, and that several of the characters such as Maomolin, Mint & Lime, Picolet and similar, are more relevant, but didn't have enough meaterial for their own separate pages.

The only reason the "original" list was too long was because of the extremely excessive amounts of plot summary for this minor characters in ALL of the lists. And no, minor characters are not collectively important and per many other AfDs and mergers, they are particularly not notable enough in anime/manga series to have their own lists, much less three. Any that may have any minor relevance should be mentioned in the single List of Ranma ½ characters that no one has bothered making (despite apparently having time to make three lists for unimportant minor characters). South Park is not an ideal model for any thing, nor is it an anime/manga series. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 17:06, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not every character in a series deserves an entry in a character list. Especially incidental or one-shot characters who have no role in the overall plot line—not that Ranma 1/2 has much of a plot line to begin with. If the primary characters aren't worthy for a list article, then the minor characters especially shouldn't have their own list article(s) either. --Farix (Talk) 17:31, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I was involved with setting up this list as well as the other three minor character lists, but my interests and priorities both Wiki wise and in real life have since changed. Migrate the information over to the Ranma Wikia before deleting. --BrokenSphere^{Msg me} 00:20, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
