I admire that Teen Wolf doesn't have stand-alone articles for its main characters. But does that mean it needs three character list (Characters > Secondary characters > Minor characters)? I see "Minor" as the cut-off point to not cover characters anymore. – sgeureka ^t•c 10:57, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete minor character lists are unneeded.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:29, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:SOFIXIT and WP:DINC. Why not trim the excess plot instead of deleting it outright? Important to note that the user who split this is being discussed here. ミラP 16:37, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- ~~Fix what? It's unencyclopedic one/two-time plot devices. – sgeureka ^t•c 17:30, 2 January 2020 (UTC)~~[reply]
  - @Sgeureka: The amount of plot, duh. ミラP 17:57, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - I struck my comment above, as I confused this with a different AfD. However, based on your comment, I'll point out then that the original list of minor characters is still in the main LoC pre-split and can be recovered for trimming. I rest my case that three stand-alone character lists is too much. – sgeureka ^t•c 18:09, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - These are beyond what could be described as necessary characters. Once you've hit "minor," you've reached the point where you can delete them without losing anything. TTN (talk) 12:13, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
