Deleted Jesus Christ's entry again, as well as its commentary. Yeesh. Seconding the unsigned editor's comments below. TexanInWashington —Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.222.235.32 (talk) 00:43, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Some entries such as

• Kilgore Trout, fictional author created by Kurt Vonnegut

are clearly fictional characters thet exist only in the realm of fiction, i.e., they are not actually claimed to really exist. Therefore they must be deleted from this list. `'mikkanarxi 17:54, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Richard Bachmann as a pseudonym of Steven King has to be on this list. Pottski

Deleted "God" from list of hoaxes - offensive to almost all world religions. Calling a holy book a "collection of fairy tales" is also offensive.

Deleted "Jesus Christ" from the list of nonexistent fictional people - the existence or nonexistence of Yeshua bin Yosef belongs in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historicity_of_Christ, not here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.92.18.211 (talk) 21:35, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Would Abraham ben Abraham, a person whom all the scholars agree was invented (and did not exist), but who is portrayed as real in some Jewish religious texts, belong to this list and category? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 18:16, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest we remove all entries with redlinks - or provide references. --Janke | Talk 05:25, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redlinks, links to disambiguation pages, and others with no article nor any other form of substantiation, now removed. 58.8.17.103 (talk) 14:13, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There seems to be some confusion about whether or not Pedro is real. The his article (here) thinks he exists, and there's a *small* amount of debate on his talk page about this. There appears to be a lot of documentary evidence that he's real. Could (heavens!) this list be wrong? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.40.46.101 (talk) 14:20, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Should Tom Churchill be included?

He was a real person, but was/is computer generated for 1000s of radio stations across the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.14.145.45 (talk) 05:43, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Any list of fictitious people thorough enough to be relevant would be exhaustive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.86.187.137 (talk) 08:28, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
