Talk:List of MacGyver characters

The Coltons
Unless there are any strong objections... I'm going to merge The Coltons here. The article is barely sourced. Maybe enough to warrant a redirect. Nonetheless, not much that isn't already covered here with WP:DUE weight. Shooterwalker (talk) 21:23, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
 * The article has previously been kept at AfD, which would warrant not making it a redirect. Arsenikk (talk)  21:34, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
 * It was kept based on a good faith belief that the article could be improved, but I've concluded that isn't the case. Some of the keep !votes mentioned merging as a possibility... and consensus can change anyway. This is a very short article that is unlikely to have sources to warrant any major expansion. That makes a merge a good choice considering the article doesn't have enough to meet the WP:GNG. Shooterwalker (talk) 21:52, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Inappropriate organization by actor
In List of Stargate SG-1 characters, List of Quantum Leap characters, List of Everybody Loves Raymond characters and all the other articles in [Category:Lists of television characters] that I've sampled at random, all the lists are done by character, not by actor. Given that this is a list of characters, it should likely be character first, then actor.

Additionally, just because James Hong played 3 different characters on the show does not mean he is a recurring character, he should be removed from the list. 0x0077BE (talk) 01:06, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Changed Hong to guest star as that was created, although that list is incomplete with episodes in which they appeared. I will change to put the characters first later on today. - Kiraroshi1976 (talk)

Sean Angus Malloy as a recurring character
Why is Sean Angus Malloy, MacGyver's son, played Dalton James, listed as a recurring character? He was in one episode.
 * Changed. I started a list of guest stars, though not complete with the episodes they are in. - Kiraroshi1976 (talk)
