This article is redundant, as nearly everything that is said here is already stated in the main Monty Python's Flying Circus article, as well as in the Monty Python article. What little that is not already said could easily be added, which amounts to names of some characters, if it was felt the information is necessary. The article has existed for 3-and-a-half years with little improvement, and has been tagged as unreferenced for more than a year. ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 04:16, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete That an article hasn't improved much in X years or referenced after being tagged for X years is not evidence it couldn't, but even as a Python fan I have to agree there's not much WP:RS could say about these characters, for a general encyclopedia anyway. Google Books (including a Monty Python Encyclopedia) and Google Scholar if anyone wants to look for substantial coverage. It's been mirrored by the Monty Python Wiki, so they have it if they want it. I guess it could be merged to List of recurring characters in Monty Python's Flying Circus or a Glossary of Monty Python could be created following WP:WPGLOSSARY but I am not inclined to create one myself.

• The list article, of which I was not previously aware, seems like a good candidate. But, as I say, the information is already covered in the Flying Circus article. It seems superfluous as an independent article. ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 00:23, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• 'Delete: unnecessary independent article already well described in Monty Python's Flying Circus. ww2censor (talk) 15:42, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
