Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of real-life characters
Well for a kickoff, the title surely falls under |indiscriminate information - an inherently unmaintainable list. In addition, the article itself is extremely garbled and confusingly-written, and the list itself is arguably inaccurate. For example, Marilyn Manson and Alice Cooper aren't "characters", they're pseudonyms. It strikes me that such a debate could arise over any number of potential subjects in this article. There's just far too much ambiguity - Ziggy Stardust is surely just a fictional character? Alan Partridge is a fictional character who sometimes interacts with "real" people - should he go in there? Completely unmaintainable, far too much possibility for debate over what should and shouldn't qualify, and therefore it's just not Wikipedia-fodder
