Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of one-time characters in The Simpsons (7th nomination)
as it is a renomination of an article kept multiple times in previous discussions.  The article concerns memorable characters from one of the top ten most enduring and significant animated franchises in history, i.e. despite the title, some of these appear in games and other merchandising beyond the show.  No one can honestly say they are not |notable.  Much literature has been written discussing characters from this franchise, which means that they are |verifiable through |reliable sources.  Moreover, per , the cited entries at worst are mergeable and because the article is not a hoax, not libelous, nor a copy vio, there is no urgent/compelling need to redlink it and thus protect the public from it.   is not a valid reason for deletion and there is no truthful policy or guideline based reason either.  Sincerely
