List of minor characters in Peanuts

This list is completely unsourced or cited to primary sources, and cannot meet the WP:GNG. Combining random non-notable minor characters into a singular list gives you a non-notable list. Whichever characters do meet the WP:GNG are already listed under the List of Peanuts characters article, and this WP:CONTENTFORK does not meet our encyclopedic standards.

• Delete as creator. The few characters that are worth mentioning can be mentioned within the main character list or the main article. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{( What did I screw up now?)} 19:47, 8 November 2020 (UTC) reply
• Delete If a list says "minor characters", it probably isn't notable in modern-day Wikipedia. This article is no exception and fails GNG. _{ZXCVBNM ( TALK)} 20:38, 8 November 2020 (UTC) reply

• Delete - no evidence of real world significance or notability Spiderone 21:33, 8 November 2020 (UTC) reply
• Delete. The Little Red-Haired Girl is the only one of any real significance that I can see, and she's already listed in List of Peanuts characters#Unseen characters. Possibly merge Eudora? Clarityfiend ( talk) 23:23, 8 November 2020 (UTC) reply
• Comment - I don't really have a vote, but I would like to point out that "Minor character = Not notable" is a fallacy. There are a lot of minor characters that meet GNG, and there are a lot of major characters with little to no coverage. Be mindful of this when nominating "List of minor [X] characters" lists.

• This is why I gave the caveat that some can be combined to the main page. For instance, Charlotte Braun only had a couple appearances but she has been widely documented. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{( What did I screw up now?)} 16:32, 10 November 2020 (UTC) reply

• Delete - None of the characters listed here are individually notable, with the exception of a couple that are already covered elsewhere (The Great Pumpkin, the Little Red-Haired Girl). There are no real sources that I can find that cover this grouping of minor and background characters, either, so it fails WP:LISTN. As none of the information here appears to be reliably sourced (its either primary sources or non-reliable sources like blogs), there is nothing that should be merged.

• Delete. As a rule of thumb, any list of minor elements is a list of lowest denomination WP:TRIVIA and needs to go. This list is a good example. -- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:16, 10 November 2020 (UTC) reply

• Delete per Wikipedia:Content forking. Unnecessary fandom-like list/article. List of Peanuts characters could cover such content. -- Wario-Man ( talk) 11:54, 15 November 2020 (UTC) reply
