List of fictional obese characters

Delete subjective category that demands a wide range of POV for inclusion. Doczilla 08:08, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - while it might be possible to NPOV it a bit by specifying exact criteria for inclusion for each medium of fiction, it'd never be a good article. Pseudomonas 08:14, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - impossible to maintain, ridiculously broad criteria. -- Chairman S. Talk ^Contribs 08:58, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - indiscriminate information; many of the characters included are of healthy weight (just not skin-and-bones). --Charlene 09:22, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - who writes all these lists? - Iridescenti (talk to me!) 20:03, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for obvious reasons, and sent the title to BJAODN. YechielMan 20:04, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete listcruft (yeah, I said it). JuJube 23:58, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Just stupid. Milhouse and Dr. Hibbert from The Simpsons are obese? Elmer Fudd from Looney Tunes? These people need to get their TVs fixed. Croxley 01:07, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- More likely their concept of what the word "obese" means. Some people seem to think "obese" means you can't see ribs sticking out. --Charlene 13:03, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In the creator's defense, wasn't Elmer Fudd a pig? - Iridescenti (talk to me!) 22:19, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're thinking Porky. Elmer's a human character. Doczilla 09:15, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, you're right... Long night. - Iridescenti (talk to me!) 10:19, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. For one, obese is a technical term for individuals with a BMI of 30 or greater and we can't calculate the BMI of these fictional characters. Also, how is this encyclopedic or in anyway useful? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 208.187.181.70 (talk) 04:45, 30 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]
