List of enemies of Harry Potter

Pure listcruft. There is no objective criteria for labelling someone an "enemy." This list includes people like the Dursley family and Snape. Rather than argue over the specifics of inclusion, I think it's more important to demonstrate that this list is fundamentally subjected and should be killed.

Delete belongs on some sad fansite and certainly not here. Lugnuts 17:33, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep see no problem with this article at all. Doesn't fail any guidelines etc. And read Lugnuts, read WP:IDONTLIKEIT.Dalejenkins | The Apprentice (UK)'s FA plea-please have your say! 17:34, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply, OK to put it another way, it's not encyclopedic, it's all unsourced and listcruft as per the original nom. Lugnuts 17:50, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per lack of notability by real world sources on "enemies of Harry potter". Its acceptable to have a list of minor characters, but making a narrow list which lacks notability is not Corpx 17:51, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I love HP, but too much. :D OR, inherently subjective as per nom with no real world sources. KTC 17:59, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per nom. --PEAR (talk) 18:29, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom, listcruft, fancruft, just plain crufty. Realkyhick 19:27, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Original research, arbitary, list. - Cyborg Ninja 20:03, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - subjective. This isn't a video game with designated enemies. This is a work of fiction where there's more gray involved. Crystallina 22:27, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The respective articles are enough to explain they are HP enemies.--JForget 23:05, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No objective criteria on "enemy". This ranges from mortal enemy (Voldemort) to annoyance (Rita Skeeter) to rival (Draco Malfoy). Useight 02:54, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Above post says it for me. For example, Snape isn't actually Harry's enemy, but he's in the enemies list because one believes so up until the end. I'm not saying take Snape out, just delete the whole thing. A list of death eaters I can understand, but a list of enemies makes no sense. Alex9788 21:19, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom and then redirect to List of characters in the Harry Potter books. --Metropolitan90 06:01, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not a likely redirect... Savidan 19:13, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I know that not all the characters in the books are Harry's enemies, but all his enemies are characters in the books. So redirecting to the list of characters would be redirecting to a broader topic, without requiring the editors to decide everyone who is truly an enemy. --Metropolitan90 05:12, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I meant: not likely to actually redirect anyone (because no one would type that in). Savidan 05:25, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, needless list. JIP | Talk 09:08, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
