- (Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Completely unsourced and incapable of meeting the standards for a stand-alone list. There are some passing mentions, but nothing enough to establish notability of these characters in aggregate. Cannot meet the standard for WP:NOTPLOT without sufficient real-world context. Shooterwalker ( talk) 04:12, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

to Chronicles of the Cursed Sword, a much shortened list of the more major characters should be merged there, butthis article is 62 thousand bytes of in-universe information, sourced to absolutely nothing. This should not exist anywhere on Wikipedia, and it fails WP:LISTN and WP:PLOT. Devonian Wombat ( talk) 02:00, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

- Delete. Same rationale as at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Skulduggery Pleasant characters (2nd nomination): this might ideally be very selectively merged, but it's not reasonable to expect someone to actually do that unless for some reason they're keen to, and it's not clear that this list would provide a useful basis for the sort of list that might reasonably be included as a section in the main article. – Arms & Hearts ( talk) 23:08, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
- Delete: there's no reliable independent sources for this article. Do not see these passing mentions, but if they exist, they're better suited to a few sentences in the main article. Jontesta ( talk) 01:17, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - While I normally would not be opposed to a selective Merge as suggested above, the fact that not a single bit of information in this article is actually referenced to reliable sources means that it really should not be preserved. Rorshacma ( talk) 20:57, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
