This topic is way too vague. It could literally encompass hundreds of thousands of works of fiction. As it is now, it appears to only contain the author's favorite works based on vague "criteria" that could apply to thousands of other works as well. Further, this is being set up more like an information page for fans, as opposed to an actual encyclopedia article. I also feel this falls in the criteria of Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. 13² 19:28, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Pure plot summary, presented in a fashion that isn't useful in understanding the works in question. Agree that WP:IINFO applies here. JulesH (talk) 20:56, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete beyond the scope of this encyclopedia. Should engage in editing wookiepedia or the others. Also WP:IINFO does apply.--DFS454 (talk) 21:08, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Doesn't seem to fit with the style or categorization/list schemes in the rest of wikipedia. Cazort (talk) 21:49, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, but.... this would be a good addition to the different entertainment wikis on www.wikia.com, and I encourage the author to check those out, since there are widely-viewed Wikias for Star Wars (Wookieepedia), Star Trek (Memory Alpha), X-Men, Heroes and Lost ("Lostpedia") Mandsford (talk) 21:50, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. All of this information does not need to be in the same place. Macarion (talk) 01:43, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete- fancruft. This is an indiscriminate collection of trivia that belongs somewhere more fandom-oriented, but not a serious encyclopedia. Reyk _YO! 06:33, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. I normally don't agree when something is nominated as an indiscriminate collection of facts. This time I do. This is exactly what the guideline was written for. This is a list that doesn't have solid inclusion criteria. If it did it has no potential to ever cover a reasonable amount of character deaths without becoming unwieldy and impossible to maintain. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:06, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per all the above. I remember !voting in two very similar AFDs recently where somebody just listed the deaths of characters in X-Men and Heroes. Perhaps someone more patient than myself should explain the relevant policies to this guy. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 07:29, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Indiscriminate list.--Sloane (talk) 02:19, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
