Adding together many non-notable topics still gives you a non-notable topic. The individual character articles like Ari Gold (Entourage) or Vincent Chase might reach the threshold of significant coverage required by WP:NOTABILITY. But this miscellaneous list does not.

Keep Entourage is notable, and WP:CSC #2 applies to a list of individually NN characters from a notable show or franchise. Jclemens (talk) 06:01, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

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. Couldn't find significant coverage per WP:BEFORE. Shooterwalker (talk) 18:45, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
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]
