Talk:John Rowland (Desperate Housewives)

Lemma Change
The correct title would be "John Rowland (Desperate Housewives character)".

Merge proposal
I propose to merge John Rowland into the list of characters due to the fact that this article's subject has not managed to prove notability by its own. As notability is not inherited, being a character within a notable series makes not him automatically notable. The character within the series itself is not extremely relevant, and his appearances are not vital to the main plot. Also, there are no sections with real world content. Thoughts? -- LoЯd  ۞pεth  05:54, 22 March 2009 (UTC)


 * A week has passed and there was not opposition at all. The article is then merged into the list. -- LoЯd  ۞pεth  05:51, 29 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I oppose. Again, there were no oppositions because no one noticed this. Stop doing this. - Renaboss (talk) 10:24, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

I agree with the merge. Let's construct a good List of characters article. The TV series is very good but the majority of articles lacks real world information. interviews, etc. -- Magioladitis (talk) 10:49, 29 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Perhaps no one noticed this because his article is not a priority as Lynette, Bree or Susan's are?? Silence equals consensus, and merging is not deleting, according to the merge help page, it is an ordinary editing action and it is recommended for characters that are not notable. You seem to misunderstand the definition of notable, which is not the same as important within the series. A notable character has strong impact in the popular culture and is covered as an individual subject (not as part of the series) by reliable secondary sources. -- LoЯd  ۞pεth  19:15, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

I retrieved the article with proper sources. I included a reception section to establish notability, as well as other real-world stuff such as casting. -- LoЯd  ۞pεth  06:07, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
