Delete Very few of these characters have notability in the movies they play. Atleast not notable enough to be on Wikipedia. This seems like one of those articles about un-notable topics that nobody gets around to removing.

Delete Something like "law officers in fiction" might be notable but a list of fictional US marshals is certainly a trivial list.

Delete Most of the names from this list are not notable. Fails

Delete The second source named by Cbl62 would be useful to write about
United States marshals in Western film if it does indeed significantly cover that topic, but it cannot support this
indiscriminate list. Not sure if the first is an RS. –

Delete While being unsourced is not always a problem, the fact that we see no sourcing that considers these as a group is telling. I also question whether all fiction has thought through the issues involved enough for it to always be clear if a character is a US marshal, or a sherrif or sherriff's deputy.

Delete as
WP:IINFO as the concept is vague in fiction and fundamentally
unverifiable, as opposed to real-life U.S Marshalls which can be verified.

Delete Only like five of the listed characters here have articles.
