The page was previously nominated for deletion in 2007 and subsequently restored a few months later. However, site standards have increased dramatically in the many years since, while the same can't be said for this page. The bulk consists of barely-sourced fancruft more fit for a fandom wiki, and there seems to be no reliable secondary sources that justify this degree of coverage of any character other than the three that already have their own page. With that said, I believe a new nomination is long overdue. Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 04:46, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Kim Possible (character), Rufus (Kim Possible), and Shego have their own articles. Regardless, character lists have always been acceptable as legitimate split off articles. If the information is too long for the main article, you toss it off on its own article, just like we do lists of episodes and lists of awards. Dream Focus 22:50, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Keep: I don't know of any policy toward character lists, but considering that Kim Possible is a pretty large and well-known franchise (not just a singular show), I think that a character list is not undue. A trim may be needed, however. Also, citing the first AfD is moot; it was deleted then because there was a "minor characters" list already. Why? I Ask (talk) 22:55, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep This is a subtopic of Kim Possible, which is here presented as a separate article, but the notability for the topic is clearly established. We just keep an additional article for the topic due to WP:LENGTH concerns. To be clear, WP:INHERITED does not apply because a notable topic is nowhere limited in policy to only one article.

• Keep as a subtopic of Kim Possible and for the overall notability of the fictional cast. The list may need a clean-up, but it's preferable to individual articles for every single character. Some characters have separate articles, and the rest belong in the list. Archrogue (talk) 23:08, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
