Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of The Stand characters
or '''merge''' to The Stand, which currently has none of this information and so per  takes deletion off the table.  We really need to stop making AFD nominations in such circumstances.  There has been absolutely no talk page discussion on this list regarding trimming it down or merging (or indeed, ''any'' discussion), so no one has even bothered to try normal editing and discussion before jumping the deletion gun, not even after a prod attempt was disagreed with.  I don't question the nom's good faith here, but the use coercive procedures such as AFD to resolve editing issues before normal editing and discussion has even been attempted is one of the worst aspects of Wikipedia culture and probably one of the most discouraging to contributors
