• Delete: Fails NLIST, nothing found showing this has been discussed as a group by independent reliable sources. fancrufty article, does not serve a nav purpose, fails CLN.
  WP:CSC #2 does not say that a stand alone list is always notable or appropriate.  // Timothy :: talk

• Delete: per TimothyBlue too. This list is fine on Fandom but I cannot see how it deserve a spot on Wikipedia, they are recurring characters after all.
  WP:ATD will be to prune it down and rename it as List of Entourage characters. SpacedFarmer (talk) 08:36, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply

• A couple things. First, "adding together many non-notable topics" is one of three
  standard ways to make a list. Second, what's really being asked is whether, in an ideal version of a very long article on Entourage, there would be a listing of recurring characters. If so, using primary sources for basic information isn't a problem and spinning that list out to its own page isn't a problem. Personally, I'm skeptical that such a list would be merited, so probably err on the side of weak delete, but I'm not especially familiar with the show or the sourcing around it. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 13:04, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply
