List of fictional characters who can manipulate sound[edit]

Delete vague listcruft. Anyone can manipulate sound. If there's a loud noise in the next room and I cover my ears, I've kept the sound from reaching my eardrums. If I raise the volume of my voice, I've manipulated its sound. Wryspy 00:58, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, but suggest move, because this could be misleading per example by nom. I believe in literal terms, all fictional characters can manipulate sound in some form. But this list covers examples of fictional characters who manipulate sound on superhuman levels. J-stan ^Talk_Contribs 01:37, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete A better way to classify superheroes by their superpowers would be through categories, not through lists whose titles are too vague.--Alasdair 03:04, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- No, categories cannot be annotated for straightforward verification, and some characters just have too many powers for that to be practical. Wryspy 05:13, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Very well then, but still, I believe the problem of this list lies in the presentation. So, it should be changed to the best way of presenting the info.--Alasdair 08:06, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per lack of notability for characters who can manipulate sound Corpx 04:42, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, the comment "Anyone can manipulate sound." only makes clear the title needs improvement. The article needs sources yes, but the concept for inclusion is clearly explained in the article. ---Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 06:20, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This list is not good enough for Wikipedia. RS1900 10:48, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep deletionists here are just reacting to the stupid title. "Not good enoguh" and "WP:NOT#INFO" are just generic meaningless deletion reasons that can apply to anything. It's a list of superheros with superhuman abilities just like List of fictional characters who can manipulate time. It has a stupid title, but is otherwise a perfectly valid list. —Pengo 04:47, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and salt: absurd list. 24.180.148.57 16:25, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Even taken at face value, contradictory and arbitrary criterias for inclusion in the list makes it useless as an encyclopedia article. Fails WP:NOR and Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day. --Eqdoktor 08:51, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, because excellently organized table about notable topic that is both convenient and helpful for many readers. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 15:49, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

NOTE TO CLOSING ADMIN: If this closes as a "Delete" please Salt the list article, the category, and any varient categories. The list was put in place as a result of a CfD that favored listing instead of the use of a category. If the list is found to be unacceptable, especially since arguments against the list are the same those made against the deleted category, neither format is suitable for this information. - J Greb 00:06, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
