List of anti-heroes

This list is highly questionable. The criteria for classifying a character as an "anti-hero" are far more subjective than even "normal" heroes. Such a list allows people to add characters willy-nilly. A few readily recognizeable and fairly undisputed anti-heroes could be listed as exmaples in the entry for the anti-hero and serve the purpose much better. This list is unecessary, highly POV, and completely beyond any manner of being proven. CaveatLector 02:34, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well-written nomination, CaveatLector. You made your argument succinctly, refrained from voting, and even offered alternatives. Well done. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 15:23, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

delete. POV and unmaintainable. Any "normal" person may fit the definition of "anti-hero", since we all sometimes do something not very good. mikka (t) 03:48, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Here we go again. Delete per above...inherently POV. PJM 03:55, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. With no clear definition of an anti-hero provided, this list will remain in a useless, POVvish state. Saberwyn - The Zoids Expansion Project 05:03, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete- anything that classes Rincewind and Thomas Covenant as the same sort of person is too vague. Reyk 10:39, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, I agree with the nomination. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 15:23, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Possibly redirect to either anti-hero or to list of heroes. -Sean Curtin 03:43, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - As Mikka said above, nearly any person could fit on this list. -Rjo 21:41, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Proliferating list cruft is not encyclopediac. Well stated reasons above. Hu 22:20, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This list is extremely useful for high school language arts classes and AP Literature classes. If you have problems with items on the list, remove them or discuss in it TALK. This article is useful! Kingturtle 18:59, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Delete, because it doesn't make sense. First of all there are no anti-heroes and they should be named humans/normal people and on top of that it can't inform you well and you can better visit another wikipedia page.Cj rules2 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.205.201.230 (talk • contribs)
Keep. Personally, I've found this article fairly useful, and I believe that it helps to provide people with an idea of the range of characters who are anti-heroes. Sqrrl101 21:07, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Seems to be a decent list to me. Maybe it should be renamed List of '''fictional''' anti-heroes though, just to emphasise what it contains. --Victim of signature fascism | help remove biblecruft 21:05, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
