DEPROD[edit]

This does not seem to be a stand alone list at all. It seems to be a split of content from the main article Water Rats. At the very least if the article is to be deleted, much of its content should be merged back to Water Rats, certainly at least for the characters specifically listed in that article. Yes, there is a significant number of minor characters also listed here, but that does not detract from the major characters. I would recommend serious consideration be given to WP:ATD. A merge proposal I think would be better than deletion. Aoziwe (talk) 13:44, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

this list is completely unsourced, it's a dumping ground for irrelevant plot information, of course it needs to be deleted and not merged. It should have never been split in the first place, but rather trimmed. Avilich (talk) 14:11, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

References area available I think. WP:NEXIST. Aoziwe (talk) 20:34, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

First thing I thought was, this is too good to be true, and indeed, Books LLC's "primary work is collecting Wikipedia and Wikia articles and selling them as printed and downloadable books". Avilich (talk) 14:52, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just a follow-up note for posterity that this page was redirected per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Water Rats characters. Ajpolino (talk) 20:05, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
