Unnecessary duplication of the main article, does not meet WP:SIZESPLIT. We would need detailed descriptions for each character before considering a split. Quite to the contrary, we have zero character descriptions. (And it should be useful information in coherent prose, don't just copy-paste from Wikia to save the article.) I'm trying to assume good faith here, but you can't just create a separate article just get around WP:TVCAST which now says cast tables shouldn't be used in the main series articles. nyuszika7h ( talk) 14:06, 21 February 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Delete for all the reasons outlined by nom. Further, a more proper "spin-off" would be List of Soy Luna characters, not List of Soy Luna cast members (the latter is very a non-standard article type in WP:TV). One note to the nominator – a cast-table would be allowed at a "List of [...] characters"-type article – but in the specific case of Soy Luna which has only run 1–2 seasons, a cast table makes no sense regardless... -- IJBall ( contribstalk) 15:52, 21 February 2017 (UTC) reply

@ IJBall: Yeah, I was gonna point out the title but it doesn't seem worthy of keeping anyway, so it's pointless to move it for now. And yeah, I know cast tables are allowed at character list articles, I'm just saying this article might be just an excuse to make a table. Do note that "1–2 seasons" is far longer than usual TV seasons though, as just the first season is 80 episodes, season 2 will premiere soon, and a cast member has already pretty much confirmed season 3 on social media, so assuming all seasons are 80 episodes like the first season (based on precedent with Violetta), we'll be looking at around 240 episodes in total. But we don't really need to create this article right now, especially not like this – there's the Soy Luna Wikia, and later a proper Wikipedia-worthy article with proper character descriptions (not full of trivia, of course) can be written. nyuszika7h ( talk) 19:32, 21 February 2017 (UTC) reply
