Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of students at South Park Elementary
Although I've been working on this article for some time, and in all modesty noticeably improved it, I completely agree that it's too long, full of trivia, and in-universe, but |the current state of an article is not a valid reason for deletion. The article cites many sources, including enough third party sources to establish notability for individual characters (http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/entertainment/2002648630_timmy28.html this one, for example). There are many characters on this list that aren't particularly notable, true, but that could be sorted out by trimming the list (perhaps by turning the "Background characters in the fourth grade" section into a simple point list), not by deleting the entire list and letting all the notable characters (Craig, Jimmy, Timmy, Token, the Goth Kids et al) go with the non-notable ones. The reason there are several lists of South Park minor characters and not a single one is that one such list would be too long
