Deletion of List of Splinter Cell characters

Comment: As much as I hate the bar being raised for character list articles now (as well as the fact that I agree with Jclemens that character lists should generally have their own article), I'm not seeing quite enough coverage to have this one as its own article. However, this should be redirected, not delete. Deletion should be a last resort, per  and -R, as well as to preserve the content for any future potential the article may have. The character section at ''Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell'' works as a target

Comment: Lists of characters appearing in multiple independently notable works are routinely and properly kept, as the content could be included in any of the main articles, but is instead placed in such lists for SIZE issues, as well as to keep people from creating standalone articles on clearly NN individual characters.
