WP:BEFORE finds that most of these are barely mentioned. Article describes itself as an "index" and "minor", making it difficult to obtain WP:SIGCOV. I would consider a redirect to Deipnosophistae and thought it was best to discuss WP:ATD. Jontesta (talk) 01:44, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Considering the structure of the Deipnosophistae and the existence of Category:Lists of minor fictional characters, the page deserves to be preserved. It can be also enlarged in order to obtain Wikipedia:SIGCOV. The alternative is to add the content to the page of the Deipnosophistae. Digitalphilologist (talk) 06:33, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• This is an argument to merge presented as a deletion discussion: the list is clearly relevant to the Deipnosophistae, and there is nothing wrong about treating it; the question is whether it should be a stand-alone list or part of the main article. Since the main article isn't that long, it seems perfectly feasible to merge this list there, without losing any of its contents—although perhaps it could be reformatted to make it take up less space (and if not, it's still better preserved there than deleted). If more content or discussion in secondary sources can be added, the list can remain separate, or be split off again at a later time. P Aculeius (talk) 14:08, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge cut down to main page. The characters seem an important aspect, and the main article is not long. PARAKANYAA (talk) 00:26, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
