Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Zoey 101 characters
to  Zoey 101. Though stand-alone lists of characters are permitted, nowhere are they described as automatically notable. The only actual community practices regarding list notability are described at  which states that "Notability of lists (whether titled as "List of Xs" or "Xs") is based on the group. A list topic is considered notable if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources", and obviously that is not the case for Zoey 101 characters. Moreover,  states that "Editors are cautioned not to immediately split articles if the new article would not meet the general notability criterion" (which is the case) and "If a concept can be cleanly trimmed or removed, or can be merged elsewhere on the wiki, these steps should be undertaken first before some new article is created". Per #Summary style approach ("just because the spinout article is given more space to grow does not mean that |excessive plot summaries or fictional character biographies are appropriate"), the list of Zoey 101 characters, with its excessive average of 5kb of plot dump per character, can obviously be trimmed down to an acceptable size so that it can perfectly be merged back into the main article, since the topic in itself is not notable anyway
