Characters of Monster High

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A list of dolls (yes, really), consisting of originally researched character descriptions. There are no reliable sources--this is the equivalent of a list of Lego blocks: no independent significance, written by and for fans. Drmies (talk) 04:20, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Well... it's more than just dolls at this point. My nieces are obsessed with these dolls for some reason and the line is now comprised of books, games, and animated shows/movies, so it's possible that most of this is just info culled from those multiple sources. My only concern with this is that it's somewhat customary to have a spin off list of characters if the universe and main page is large enough to warrant a separate entry. This does need sourcing and a cleaning to make it less of a fan page, but there is potential merit in having a list for the characters.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:58, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- If there is any verified content (short of a list of items sourced to the company website or a fan page) it can go in the main article--it can't be much. FWIW, I try not to let my kids watch shows like this: they're already obsessed enough with "fashion style" and such stuff.

Delete - Whatever independently sourced bits and pieces (and that isn't much) can be found might have a place in one of the other articles. The rest is original research, much of it dubious: the Frankenstein one's eyes are different colors because of a genetic condition? Really? My guess (as good as the original editor's guess) would have involved the doctor taking eyes from different bodies. She's also "the 16-day-old daughter(3-year-old as of date)". I guess that means she was built 3 years ago (plus however long ago that info was mentioned), but is somehow 16 (perhaps made of the bodies of 16 year olds)? Um, yeah. Another character "currently is unmentioned in the other media", unless it's just out of date. If we remove the OR, there's nothing left; certainly not enough to meet GNG. - SummerPhD (talk) 16:11, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I definitely agree this article is in need of a trim, but character lists are considered acceptable for notable fictional series per precedent. Monster High is unquestionably notable and includes not just dolls but a novel series, various DVDs & TV specials, a video game, etc. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 23:54, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
