Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of fictional characters by IQ (2nd nomination)
as a violation of |original research by synthesis. Although it may at first glance seem to be a simple summary of source material (which is permitted), I don't think that is the case here. The ranked list attempts to introduce new information regarding which works have the most intelligent characters. The creators of these fictional characters did not write up an IQ for purposes of comparing them to other fictional characters, but as a plot point for their work, and their work only; the IQs of these characters are therefore too loosely associated to justify bundling them into an article. Case in point: The IQs of Holly from Red Dwarf (12368) and Alakazam from Pokemon (5000) are not meant to reflect their supposed results on an IQ test at all (these scores are impossible on IQ tests), but rather a cute literary device to hammer in the point that they are supposedly really intelligent. The two figures are not comparable, you cannot say "Holly is smarter than Alakazam" by comparing the IQs given in Red Dwarf and Pokemon. Trying to make a ranked list as to which is the most intelligent is like arranging a contest "which author can come up with the highest number
