Parent article was deleted ages ago. All of the problems described in the multiple issues template are pretty major. KATMAKROFAN (talk) 02:09, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

1632 series is the parent article, as should have been clear from the intro sentence to this list. What was deleted was a complementary list of the real historical figures that appear as characters in this series; this list is of the wholly fictional characters that are an invention of the series. postdlf (talk) 02:45, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep. Series is notable and a list of fictional characters is useful in the same manner as similarly-situated series. At this point a list of the characters would bog down the main article. Deletion of the non-fictitious characters was a different situation. Montanabw^(talk) 20:32, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Montanbw's comment. Aoba47 (talk) 17:57, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect - If the character list would bloat the main article, cut it down until it doesn't bloat it. There is no particular reason there has to be a separate list, which will just get filled with over-detailed plot information. TTN (talk) 13:14, 26 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
