[edit] Fictional biographies

I was wondering if fictional biographies would count towards this list - i.e., biographies of fictional characters.

Examples that could be included on the list could be Troy McClure, Stephen Colbert (character), Homer Simpson, Sideshow Bob, Waylon Smithers and Ned Flanders.—Preceding unsigned comment added by ISD (talk • contribs)

• Nope, traditionally only non-fiction biographies of real people are included. If there were between 10 and 20 articles of WP:GA or WP:FA quality of this kind, we could create a new section for it though - but I think this sort of thing is better off in the "Selected article" section.

  • And currently all articles in the "Selected article" section are of WP:FA quality only, which allows us to call it a "Featured article" section instead of a "Selected article" section, which is an added plus. Cirt (talk) 15:26, 11 January 2008 (UTC).
