Deletion of List of Barbie's friends and family (2nd nomination)

Comment: article does need to be rewritten but that can be done through editing and not AFD. There is a |notable fictional lore around Barbie accumulated over decades if someone can be bothered to organize it

Comment: A list of characters seems helpful - this could be either kept or merged with the main article, but it is long enough keeping a separate entry seems warranted, and there are some other lists like this out there - or at least I'd hope so, as frankly I couldn't find anything reliable. So I cannot honestly justify voting keep, since my argument is /. I can't get proper view of the sources Toughpigs listed, so I am unsure if they contain lists or some helpful coverage of the minor characters. But anyway, I'd rename this list to List of Barbie's characters. Friends and family is weird. No enemies, frenemies, acquaintances, really

Comment: per , which says that a list is notable "if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources". There are many nonfiction books about the history of Barbie, including the subsidiary characters. A couple examples: ''https://www.google.com/books/edition/Barbie_Forever/Boi4DwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=barbie+history+tutti+todd&pg=PA103&printsec=frontcover Barbie Forever: Her Inspiration, History, and Legacy'' (2019) and ''https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Story_of_Barbie_Doll/xN8oK23TULoC?hl=en The Story of Barbie Doll'' (1999). The article should certainly be improved, but  says that the current state of the article does not impact the notability of the subject
