The result was delete. There are only four names in this list that I did not see in the parent article: Christopher Beeny, Tony Capstick, Louis Emerick & Kriss Akabusi. Every other name appears in the article with context and sourcing. Merging those four names without either would not do any service to an article that has obviously been diligently constructed. Merging the list entirely would be redundant. Should the editors of that list choose to reformulate information on cast into list within their article they certainly may. They have more performers in their article on which to draw than this list does. They also have more than enough to create a category if they choose (though as Lugnuts points out, such a category might well be ill-received.) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:30, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

I originally created an article by this name intending to use it in the Last of the Summer Wine article but realized I couldn't use it so I speedied it. Someone since recreated it in an even more haphazard manner than I did. This list has the potential to become extremely long since the show has been on going on 29 series. It is messy and resembles an indiscriminate collection of information. Does not increase knowledge. Redfarmer (talk) 22:07, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Categorise or delete provides no more information than a category would. Guest9999 (talk) 23:28, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to Last of the Summer Wine. Colonel Warden (talk) 23:51, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm strongly opposed to a merge. We've worked hard to bring the article up to GA status and merging indiscriminate information would greatly diminish the quality of the article. Redfarmer (talk) 00:05, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Most of the information seems to be in the article already in Last of the Summer Wine and Last of the Summer Wine. It's just a matter of adding anyone who was missed. Colonel Warden (talk) 09:22, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The ones who aren't there don't belong there. This article is a catch all for anyone who's ever been in the series. Overkill. Redfarmer (talk) 16:10, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge back into the main article. Creating a category would mean it'll be deleted via CFD for over-categorization by perfomers. Lugnuts (talk) 09:49, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * DeleteThe series is indeed most notable (mostly due to its record-breaking length) but this is listcruft: content is either duplication or not WP:N else. Plutonium27 (talk) 16:04, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * delete per nom. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad (talk) 18:41, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
