Okay, cool (I hadn't checked the other cases you did, but seems we're on the same page here).

I even went to read issues that I haven't read just to write their biographies in their new sections. On the NYPD (I think the US Army has similar cases), it's true Joe, Jim and Jack and John are presumably generic characters...

Also, I made sure that their bio in the member page is properly referenced with all of their appearances, to check them in case they ever appear again (though it is something I doubt for all the characters I marked for deletion).

However, if you think that the pages should be kept as redirects instead of being deleted, I'm also okay with that, and I'll proceed to remove their deletion tags and change it to redirects before continuing. I think it would take the same time in the end for those who creates/add stuff to lists, and a gain of time for both the page creators and the admins.
