Talk:List of HolbyBlue characters

Merge proposal
I suggest that rather than maintain a dozen unencyclopedic, unreferenced, in-universe articles, this page be expanded to incorporate an edited version of each character page. I do not believe that at the present time, any of the HolbyBlue character articles - nor indeed, any of the HolbyBlue characters - are actually approaching notable enough to actually require separate articles for each.

 * After spending some time in my user space considering how best the information from each individual article could be included here, I had to conclude there's such little salvagable material that the page best stands as a list. A couple of the articles may be able to assert notability with a little work - I'd hazard a guess that news coverage probably exists referencing the Keenans, possibly also Luke French and Jenny Black, simply because the actors portraying them are more notable.  I'll probably spend some time next month seeing if those articles could be better developed, but as it stands, were any of the character articles to be nominated for deletion at present, I don't believe a single one would survive.  For now, I'm going to go ahead and redirect them to this page. Frickative (talk) 17:32, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

''Why has someone deleted the character pages, it's a stupid move, even if there isn't yet enough information, leave the page and when more info comes up, add to it - it doesn't take a genius. Information on those pages were useful, it was such a complete and utter stupid move to delete them, we can just add to the information that's there when the new series airs, and anyway, even if you were going to delete them you should have had a vote on the discussion page. ''


 * Please remember sign your posts with four tildes. The content of all the pages stills exists and is perfectly accessible, however each and every one of them was in clear breech of Wiki policy and guidelines, and had been since creation. Information on those pages may perhaps have been 'useful' (although the majority of them were either tiny stubs, or in dire need of rewriting) but it certainly wasn't notable, or supported by reliable secondary sources. Have a read of WP:FICT, and at such a time any of the articles can be rewritten in accordance with it, then there'll be no problem. Frickative (talk) 21:01, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * ETA: A quick glance at WP:CIVIL wouldn't go amiss either ;) Frickative (talk) 22:50, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

This discussion seems lively... FWIW it would be better to merge the list of characters to the main HB article. The table is taking up a lot of room and removing it would save a lot of space. Just have something like:
 * Cal Macaninch as DI John Keenan, the lead character and an officer dedicated to his job
