[edit] Fictional characters who can fly

This page is a list that was started accidentally as an article instead of a category. As far as I can tell, it's been completely transferred to Category:Fictional characters who can fly, and isn't needed anymore. HKMarks 02:51, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete This article is made redundant by the category of the same name. Could maybe be speedy deleted as a "non-controversial maintenance task." --IslaySolomon 03:12, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
• Categorize and delete. I'm all for lists, but this one has no additional value over a category. No red links, no non-alphabetic ordering, no annotations. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:18, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep categories can't replace lists. Please see WP:LIST if you're unclear on this point. If the list has no encyclopaedic value, the category should be deleted as well, since they cannot be redundant. WilyD 13:21, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

• Just to be clear, it was created by a new user who thought they were creating a category.(old revision) It contains no additional annotations, and is ordered just like a category. If it had any redlinks or anything I'd agree, but... --HKMarks 14:33, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

• YOu could probly db-author then - but I won't argue to delete encyclopaedic content just because made in error - it's not fruit of the forbidden tree or anything. WilyD 16:23, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

• Well, I think it should be deleted... but if it isn't we can just rename it to "List of fictional characters who can fly," hope someone decides to maintain it, and hope it doesn't turn into listcruft and/or stub bait. : P -HKMarks 19:29, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
