Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Call of Duty characters
or '''tentative delete'''). Some of the rationales given so far rest upon incorrect interpretations of guidelines or policies.  is not a "requirement" of all lists but instead only one way of analyzing lists (as it makes clear in its own text). It would also be difficult for a game to achieve notability without having any sources describe its characters (see, e.g., review including extensive commentary on characters for most recent game http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/11/03/call-of-duty-advanced-warfare-review here, found in our article on that game).  only applies to lists of real people, not lists of fictional people, so to whatever extent there is the expectation that lists of people only contain notable people (and even for real people, that depends on the list), that has no relevance here. It is instead standard practice to have lists of characters for notable franchises (for video games and for other types of media) where the characters do not merit standalone articles as a  from the main franchise article. And merely describing the content of a primary source such as a video game does not constitute OR. That said, as best as I can tell none of the characters appear in more than one game. The franchise does not establish a shared fictional universe, but instead the narratives from one to another have nothing in common beyond sharing the same historic war settings. This definitely distinguishes this list from others like it, as that means there's really no informational utility to grouping all of the separate games' characters together. It would then be sufficient for each separate game article to internally list that game's characters. Unless I'm missing something here
