Does this TV show really need three character lists (Characters >> Recurring characters >> Guest characters)? As guest characters, these characters have little if any plot arc significance, and listing them borders on WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Most of them are direct family members of actually significant characters, so they can also be named in that character's section where relevant. No opposition for a selective merge for some characters, as I realize that the characters' importance is on a spectrum. – sgeureka t•c 13:47, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete This is clearly indiscriminate. Back in the early days of the show we got articles on almost every character.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:28, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete: the nominator is correct. It does not need three; one wonders if it needs even one. is correct too: we're still picking up the mess from the anime/TV/D&D mania of yore. You wonder how and when Wikipedia ever became an encyclopedia. Drmies (talk) 19:39, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
