Deletion of List of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero characters (A–C)

Comment: Per , which this is a textbook example of. I wouldn't be opposed to a single list showing the most absolutely notable GI Joe characters, but this is more like a fan wiki in its breadth and lack of notability. Blow it up and start over

Comment: It needs a '''lot''' more sources outside what it has; its item-to-source ratio is horrid. I wanted to nominate this article myself but knew it would be 'ed to death. Add sources, please

Comment: Sources found by Toughpigs indicate a  pass it looks like.  Needs a solid trimming though.  The over-detailed fancruft can be trimmed down, and a stricter inclusion criteria can be made.  Probably a higher bar of significance should be needed for inclusion, there's no reason why this needs to be split into five separate lists

Comment: per . I dislike the practice of deleting individual character pages for fictional characters, merging them to a list, and then trying to delete the list. It is common practice for Wikipedia to have list pages for characters of a TV show or franchise, and these are often heavily plot-based. I agree that this page needs more references and generally cutting out irrelevant details, but  says that the current state of the article doesn't determine the topic's notability. The question is, is "List of G.I. Joe characters/playsets" a notable topic that is represented in reliable independent sources? Well, there are independent published books about the franchise as a whole
