Totally unreferenced, this Powerpuff Girls characters lacks a lot of sources and citations. JJ98 (Talk) 19:55, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: Whatever we decide should go for all CN articles like this. If you feel a change is in order, I see three choices here: merge with the main article (not possible without cutting out 90% of the content - it completely cluttered the Courage article), re-shape the article with refs and shorter descriptions (possible, but will take time), or we could always let someone else take care of it.

• Keep, being unreferenced or lacking "a lot of sources and citations" is not an actual deletion rationale; the standard is verifiable, not verified. This is a typical split-off article from a notable television series article. Obviously the characters of a series need to be described in order to have comprehensive coverage of that series, so the only options are to keep as a stand-alone list or to merge to the series article, not to delete outright. It's clearly too long for The Powerpuff Girls to incorporate it, so stand-alone it is. postdlf (talk) 21:16, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Has great potential, just needs sources and bg info (such as character ideas, concept, ect..). - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 00:34, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per points made above. We would have to make some serious changes to common practices (maybe make a new notability rule for lists of characters) if we were to delete this, though it could use a good trim by someone who knows the series to cut out the characters that are largely unneccesary, Sadads (talk) 01:18, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I plan on splitting the article when this AfD is done as The Powerpuff Girls and The Powerpuff Girls Z are two seperate series. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 01:37, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
