List of fictional centenarians[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-encyclopaedic cross-categorization. The extreme age of these characters is generally a trivial part of their portrayal and not an appropriate basis to create a list per WP:IINFO. Anthem of joy (talk) 15:51, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete; from a quick look at the list, it's composed almost entirely of characters who are immortal, not characters who simply happen to be very old, so an age-based list is superfluous. Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 22:44, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete; it's totally unreferenced and purely subjective. Immortality makes age irrelevant. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 23:46, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete- indiscriminate trivia. As mentioned, the fact that most of these characters are immortal makes their age pretty irrelevant. Reyk _YO! 04:43, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, Just a question though, there is a Lists of centenarians on Wikipedia, so why wouldn't you want a list of fictional ones? If not, should we make it a category? Mathewignash (talk) 01:37, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

None of the centenarians on the lists of real centenarians are immortal and thus of largely irrelevant age. Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 02:48, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Per nomination. The list is subjective and trivial. It appears that none of the fictional characters is notable for being a centenarian, which makes it fail WP:NOTDIR also. Jfgslo (talk) 22:58, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
