This is a list of trivial in-universe creatures. I know the series itself has a good deal of symbolism, but I don't think that applies to an assortment of real animals and real world mythological beings. The series has a character list, so this has zero utility as a spin out list. It is just content for a fan wiki. TTN (talk) 19:20, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. The content of the article is currently extremely poorly sourced (only one source is actually potentially valid, and its only being used to support a single entry), and there seems to be quite a bit of pure plot summary and WP:OR. It also appears to fail WP:LISTN - while there are a handful of sources that talk briefly about some of the creatures that appear in Narnia, those sources appear to be limited to a handful of only the most narratively important, rather than any kind of discussion of every type of creature that was mentioned in one of the books. As a final note, despite the appearance of copious amounts of blue links, it also does not serve a useful purpose as a navigational tool, as they all are just links to the articles on real-world animals and mythological beings.

Delete Having a listing of all of the animals Lewis included in the series does not seem to pass WP:LISTN. Also a WP:GNG fail, while the symbolism behind the animals is likely notable, a listing of the critters themselves definitely is not. Hog Farm (talk) 20:53, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I am against this deletion. While we do have actual animals and mythical creatures on that list, where would we list the ones that are exclusive to the book series. --Rtkat3 (talk) 23:45, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per WP:INDISCRIMINATE. From what I'm aware, the Narnia series uses largely creatures that already existed in fantasy. Therefore, there is no need to list them out._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 03:47, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This list is an indiscriminate collection of in-universe content. ―Susmuffin ^Talk 13:07, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete We already have an article on Puddleglum. This article needs way better sources to justify its existence.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:59, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
