[edit] No Fictional Characters?

I think you should allow fictional characters, like Harry Potter. Please? Don'tClickHere^{chat / what i've done / email} 19:57, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree, but only with very popular fiction (such as the Harry potter books). Mr. Granger 16:33, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
