Talk:List of The Bold and the Beautiful characters (1990s)

Re: the suggestion of merging Marcus Forrester into this page
The page for Marcus Forrester is bad, but hardly the worst of these Bold and the Beautiful character pages. I find the individual character pages useful for doing research on the show, but the information has to be taken with an entire shaker of salt. The writing is typically sloppy: spelling and syntactical errors abound, the verb tense is incorrect and the same information is repeated over and over as the writers just shoehorn in new plot information without an eye to the article as a whole. Plot information is just about all we get. Little if anything is said regarding why the writers created the character, what impact the character has had on the public (including non-fans) or how the character's history has been revised. The article writers like to pretend that when soap writers revise a character's history, the original history vanishes. I've tried to clean up some of this mess on a few of the pages, and my efforts have already met with resistance. If editors not only won't make the proper changes, but resist the efforts of others to make these changes, then the articles don't need to appear on Wikipedia at all. -- JustinSpurlin (talk) 05:28, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I am attempting to re-write the entire storyline..so hopefully this won't be a problem. And i am trying to add sources. This merging isn't really necessarily needed SoapJar21 (talk) 17:22, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Most characters should be merged here
I've looked at articles for secondary characters for this show and few meet WP:Notability (fiction) requirement. Here is my proposed merge. The other recourse is outright deletion. Let's be frank: these days those articles are better at the shows' wikia anyway. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 04:40, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
 * This stale proposal seems to become difficult to implement given a subsequent proposal to break up the minor character page into decade-long chunks. Perhaps all the Forrester pages could merge to Forrester family and the rest await the creation of the subpages, to which merges could then be considered. Klbrain (talk) 22:30, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
 * The June 2017 proposal seems to have more support, so I'll modify the templates to point to the most active discussion. Klbrain (talk) 13:04, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

Mary Carter Warwick/Erica Lovejoy
Livelikemusic, regarding Mary Carter Warwick/Erica Lovejoy, where is the Infobox? Also, Mary Carter Warwick was revealed to be the character's true name at the end of that storyline. Israell (talk) 12:33, 22 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Erica does not have an i-box, actually, as there is zero information concerning her on this page. However, per the common-name policy, only "Erica Lovejoy" should be mentioned in her sub-heading on this article.   livelikemusic    talk!  15:30, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Request to clean this section
I honestly think with the long list of characters on this page, I propose the creation of smaller pages like The Bold and the Beautiful characters (2015). It would organize all the characters. Jester66 (talk) 04:48, 22 June 2017 (UTC)


 * A lot character pages, concerning The Bold and the Beautiful, need some major TLC. Unfortunately, that was given to The Young and the Restless back when the soap editing community was stronger!  And, in truth, I hate single-year related topics; decade lists, to me, are much easier and nicer to edit, etc.   livelikemusic    talk!  15:31, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I guess we could have it like The Bold and the Beautiful characters (1980s) or The Bold and the Beautiful characters (1987–99) so on and so forth. Jester66 (talk) 00:08, 24 June 2017 (UTC)


 * I would suggest The Bold and the Beautiful characters (1980s), because it wouldn't make sense to merge the pre-2000's into one page of characters, etc.  livelikemusic    talk!  22:46, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I agree. Jester66 (talk) 06:21, 26 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep, no merge (and the question is 'clean', not merge), I'm running across many pages marked for this discussion which aren't listed and are important pages (one which has its own well-stocked template). The characters' pages that I've seen marked for this merge include lots of content and sources. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:31, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Closing stale proposal given the uncontested opposition. Klbrain (talk) 10:08, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
