Talk:List of minor recurring characters in Star Trek: The Original Series

Merges
No need for any type of merge as these are minor recurring characters. The frequent recurruing characters are allready listed on the list of Star Trek Characters that is why it is separate and a required as a different listing. Bryankreutz 77 (talk) 10:08, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

The first captain
Under Christopher Pike it implies that April is the first captain of the Enterprise - Capt ARCHER is in "Enterprise" which predates all other in the canon --92.8.10.184 (talk) 10:28, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Rename, or Re-organization?
this article is titles as "List_of_minor_recurring_characters_in_Star_Trek:_The_Original_Series', but it's scope has expanded far beyond that; perhaps it should be renamed? Lx 121 (talk) 12:38, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Amanda Grayson
just a thought, but shouldn't she really have her own page by now? she's become more than just a "minor character" in the trek franchise; & appears in far more than just the original series. she's likely to keep right on turning up too, deid on vulcan, or not. lol i'd start a page for her, but i don't know if that's been done & fought over before? i'm kind of reluctant to put any effort into trek stuff, as it always seems to lead to endless bickering, & the articles often end up being crap, as a result. Lx 121 (talk) 12:41, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Personally I'd agree that she's reasonably significant, and would have no problem with the article. The one question I'd ask though is not about her validity but about the article's validity: is there enough material on her to require its own page? It's not a mark of prestige, so if she fits fine on this page then (I ask without prejudice either way) what's actually wrong with that? – Kieran T  (' talk ') 13:37, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 3 things: 1. there used to be an article page for this character, it was unilaterally blanked & redirected by one user. 2.  her section takes up a big piece of the page, & of the other listings harry mudd is the only one of comparable notability, the rest are barely speaking roles.  3.  it is becoming increasingly inaccurate to list categories this character as a "minor recurring character in the original series"; AG has turned up in tos, tas, 3 of the movie, & multiple times in the authorized novels.  i'm not a trekie, i have only a passing familiarity with the series, but in reading the material, it's obvious that this article shouldn't be the primary listing for her.  actually, the whole article is problematic.  mudd really shouldn't have this as his primary listing either, he makes multiple appearances elsewhere in trek.  & i see that AG is now gone from here anyway. ha Lx 121 (talk) 11:27, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Cool, but we should all now spend a few minutes checking that pages with links to the character don't still come here... – Kieran T  (' talk ') 14:15, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Christopher Pike
Pike is here because
 * 1) He is a minor character in TOS
 * 2) He is a significant character in TOS
 * 3) He is a recurring character in TOS (2 episodes)
 * 4) The TOS nav template does not list him (unlike Janice Rand), so this is the place to list him
 * 5) There is a main to link to the full article, this is only a summary per WP:SUMMARY

For those who remove him because he has a full article, that's not a good reason. It's why the main exists. 76.66.203.200 (talk) 09:00, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * So he is both a minor and a significant character? There is no need for this replication of information. Seek a third opinion on the project page if you still disagree. Alastairward (talk) 18:47, 27 June 2009 (UTC)


 * He's a significant character but not a major character; in TOS, his role is a minor character (only two episodes), thus he is on this page. He is also a recurring character. And it is NOT replication, it is a summary, and acceptable per WP:SUMMARY. It's also why the main tag exists. 76.66.203.200 (talk) 07:07, 28 June 2009 (UTC)


 * The project wasn't even tagged until I tagged this list with the project banner. Why is that? 76.66.203.200 (talk) 07:10, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Responding to the request for a third opinion: if anything, put a section heading with a see link and nothing else. But, really, this whole page should be redirected to List of Star Trek characters, its content substantially truncated (I think the recent expansion is a huge step in the wrong direction -- and inclusion of cruft, trivia, and non-free images better suited to Memory Alpha) and selectively merged. --EEMIV (talk)
 * This page should de redirected and any information copied on the the relevant character lists which list all character in all Star Trek series. If the characters already have separate articles then copy any remaining information to their individual pages. Darrenhusted (talk) 11:35, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
