Alright.
"Obscurity". These characters I'm proposing aren't obscure- yes, Ant, each one I'd even consider throwing on here would have millions of fans and people who know of it. Red is incredibly famous, as said, with Godzilla fans and Creepypasta fans alike (as is Solomon). The same applies to Zalgo, Slenderman and, sadly, Jeff the Killer.
@Azzy: Yes, that is similar to the Creepypasta idea- admins on the Creepypasta websites are required to stick to a certain amount of quality control before allowing a story to exist. Furthermore, these are ONLY characters with a huge following- not EVERY Creepypasta, as that would be ridiculous. Going back to the example of what I've already added, Red is, as said, recognized by millions of fans and is inside of a video game (apparently that was the same argument used for SCPs?)
@Ant: Creepypastas =/= fan characters, first off. Second off, these are characters with established storyline (I'm safely assuming you have never read any of the things I'm suggesting so I guess you have no way of knowing this, so that's fine). yes, you can argue "stupid memes shouldnt be on here" but these are literally MORE than that. Just arguing that all Creepypasta is incoherent crap with nothing interesting to add is absolutely beyond biased. These are written works meant for horror- just because you've fallen into the popular belief that it's all trash based on the twelve year old writing community has led you to believe does not mean you should disregard the works that took actual effort and creative concepts- again, I'll use Red as an example: the man who made that Creepypasta is an actual game developer himself and literally created a game for the Pasta (I believe there is an SCP with the same premise) and used screenshots from the game to lead his story along. In fact, on his deviantArt page he makes regularly more and more Kaiju concepts for these games he creates. So, what I'm saying is, these are more than the memes you'd like to downgrade them to; they're characters, like everyone else. You seem to hinge your argument on the fact that these characters have no storyline and make no notable appearances elsewhere. Here's a list of easily found places with these characters:
RED:
http://kaijucombat.com/community/index.php- Hosted by Sunstone Games, Red is the most popular character in this game.
SLENDERMAN:
http://slendergame.com/download.php- A small community built around the first Slender game
http://slenderarrival.com/- Created by Blue Isle studios, arguably the most popular Slender game (literally there are hundreds more)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3317158/- Slender, the Movie. Poorly received, however, but it DID make a movie, a feat that most game characters will never achieve.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5690360/- ... Not to mention YET ANOTHER upcoming movie.
EDIT: Not to mention, of course, his appearance in the popular GMod game with his own gamemode that, once again, is world famous. Stop It Slender can be downloaded with the game~
THE RAKE:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5226192/- Oh look, another one made it to the movies.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/386880/- And Steam, apparently, in a game notable enough that many huge-following YouTubers have played on multiple occasions (since that's pretty much the way of telling how good a game is; also, this game has a fairly high rating)
CANDLE COVE:
http://www.syfy.com/channelzero- Here's a TV show (apparently a popular one) based on the Creepypasta known as "Candle Cove"
JEFF THE KILLER:
Alright, I'm only adding this because others seem to want him, too. He has a huge following but I don't really care for this guy, his story is somewhat lackadaisical. Anyways, here are just a few games for Jeff:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.INeedPlay.JeffTheKiller&hl=e
http://www.kongregate.com/games/lenke/jeff-the-killer
http://gamejolt.com/games/let-s-kill-jeff-the-killer-the-asylum/44955
http://www.sploder.com/games/members/ekmema/play/jeff-the-killer-creepypasta/
(So on and so forth, he doesn't have anything hugely amazing but there are tons of fan games for him; I'd argue he's nearly as popular as Slender but this one I'll admit is uh... pretty... lacking.)
Anyways, you see where I'm going with this. SCPs are HUGELY recognized, and so are Creepypastas. Arguing that these guys have no lore is... wrong. Entirely. So, Ant, I believe you are wrong; these are characters. Not memes.
@ApexPredator: You are correct, and that would be my argument for Red being on this wiki. He is inside of a game and has an established storyline based on his Creepypasta (that being his backstory).
@Ryukama: These aren't joke characters. Classifying them as such is wrong, too. They all have lengthy origins and concepts behind them; the fact that people don't like them on this wiki makes no difference. Like it or not, these characters exist and have origins, one way or the other. For that matter, you accept Barbarians on here from Clash of Clans with no storyline whatsoever (they never even speak for God's sakes), Mighty Eagle, etc, but won't accept these characters with history and storyline established far beyond what these characters are even capable of?
@WeeklyBattles: I'd like a strict guideline on this. I don't want every Creepypasta on here. I just want the ones that actually deserve to have a profile because... well, they're typically used for this sort of thing. Slender especially.
Anyways, TLR, banning Creepypastas is, just in this pain-in-your-asses opinion, either bias or under-informed.
