Scope of this list article[edit]

What is the scope of this list article? I see a number of characters listed that sound like one-off jokes/characters:

Pastor M. Postor is a fake pastor hired by Lola Nidora to officiate the wedding of Frankie and Yaya Dub.

Okay, why is he noteworthy?

Ursula Palais Smash - Portrayed by: Maine Mendoza (shown only in picture)
Don Miguel de Explorer - Portrayed by: Wally Bayola (shown only in picture)

You're shitting me? Why is this here?

Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate list and we are not here to replace the experience of watching the program. Wikipedia is also not IMDb and we are not here to track every appearance of every actor who may have crossed the lens. WikiProject Television really only cares about main characters and recurring characters, so if this list is burdened with numerous one-time characters, they should be cut. And, the article should not be "List of other characters in Kalyeserye". If a character article is going to exist for this series it should be "List of Kalyeserye characters" per normal TV character article naming conventions. (See List of The Simpsons characters Excessive detail is more suited for a fansite like Wikia than Wikipedia. I will also point out that when Tonyboy bautista created the article, he copy/pasted without providing proper attribution. Tonyboy, that will need to be fixed. Please see Copying Within Wikipedia. (You'll need to use the {{copied}} template. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:59, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. A picture is not an acting role. Incidental and episodic characters should not be listed. Guest audience members (including the families the main characters randomly visit) should not be listed. Secret phone caller does not need to be listed. Celebrities who are commenting from studio as themselves during the segment should not be listed. Notable guests can go in the episode itself as they already have. Either the entire character list gets offloaded to here or this should be deleted and replaced with a simple paragraph highlighting the major guests.

Agree with AngusWOOF and Cyphoidbomb . Having already removed similar content from the main Kalyeserye article, and transposed notable guest appearances to the episode summaries, I find that many of these one-off characters do not provide any significance to the development of ANY of the series' story arcs. The main article, where the major and recurring characters are already listed, is currently of a manageable size. Keeping this off-shoot article will just be an invitation to dump more of these insignificant characters and maybe a nomination for deletion is more appropriate. I see editors like WayKurat have already cleaned up some other characters in these edits here and here. But I do not really see any significance of ie. Tetano or Pedring or backup dancers of one-off characters, and they are not even played by notable actors. (Creating a Wiki-page just to establish "notability" does not count, ie. Petite, which itself is a stub article with one reference.) Tankytoon (talk) 22:13, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

AngusWOOF and Cyphoidbomb, since there are options to delete this article, please advise whether, speedy delete, proposed delete or nominate article for deletion is appropriate.
