I propose to delete this article (or, more specifically, redirect to the article on 8-Bit Theater and merge any appropriate content across). While the comic itself is notable, I couldn't find sources showing that the characters of the comics themselves are notable enough on their own for a separate article.

Redirect to 8-Bit Theater#Characters - Merging is not needed in this case, as the main article already has a section with sufficient descriptions for the central characters of the comic, and there is not a single source being used in this list that is not the comic itself.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Rorshacma (talk • contribs)
Redirect to 8-Bit Theater#Characters per Rorshacma, and per WP:ALLPLOT. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:12, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect as it's indeed an indiscriminate collection of in-universe information. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 08:11, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per all prior rationale. This is most definitely a holdover from a bygone time when notability standards were more lax. Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 15:05, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to 8-Bit Theater#Characters. Indiscriminate WP:ALLPLOT, with none of these refs being reliable nor indepedent. The lack of anything worth preserving makes redirecting better than merging, IMO. VickKiang (talk) 02:07, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Rd, merge what's needed to be merged. Super duper old character list that has flown under the radar. Axem Titanium (talk) 21:25, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per above Andre🚐 03:30, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
