List of Good Omens characters[edit]

This says it all:

"This is a list of characters from the fantasy novel Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. It mostly reflects the Dramatis personae in the beginning of the book."

It's either a copyvio or something that should be truncated and merged with Good Omens.

Clearly useful to someone interested in the book. Merge or keep. Kappa 13:07, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure it's a copyvio, since it's a verbatim copy from the book, though it's been a good five years since I've read it. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:52, Feb 7, 2005 (UTC)
Absolutely a copyvio excluding one "prince" instead of a "duke" and the placement of Dog in front of the full chorus; I have the book in my hands. —Korath (Talk) 16:00, Feb 7, 2005 (UTC)
It's a Copyvio. It even says that it's a copyvio. Anyone "interested in the book" can read the book itself for this list. Such lists are usually useful only when the book doesn't have a Dramatis personae section. Uncle G 16:18, 2005 Feb 7 (UTC)
If and when the copyright vio can be cleaned up, I would vote Keep. Megan1967 06:34, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
