List of Scrubs cast members

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

because it is effectively the same as the minor characters article, except that there is no detail at all, and because it is simply a list of names Jac16888 13:01, 27 May 2007 (UTC)


 *  Comment Merge Much of this information is duplicated, yes, and here is my opinion (stay with me now): we combine in a well-organized fashion this list into the List of minor characters of Scrubs article (those that aren't already in the article, of course).  Most- including those who played patients, etc- would go into the "General cameo appearances" by season and episode (that can just be mentioned in the line).  Then we can delete this and rename that whole article to "List of Scrubs characters".  All the info is preserved, and put into a well-organized and easy to read list.  If I'm not watching an episode, I can still go through and see the guests in the seasons.  We would need to keep this until all the names are accounted for, but then it could be deleted.  Does that sound like a plan?  -- M PD T / C 23:35, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * This is actually called merging, and it's a common outcome for AFD discussions. Propaniac 13:19, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah; at the time I supported Keep, but was willing to talk to consensus. And since Jac was as well, I am changing my vote to merge. -- M PD T / C 16:16, 31 May 2007 (UTC)


 * response I have justed added as many of the names that weren't already there to the minor characters page, using imdb, and my own knowledge of scrubs. however there are still a number of names on the list that have either no imdb entry for scrubs, or who i know nothing about to be able to make an entry. therefore i have made a list of the remaining names in the discussion for that page, and info on them needs to be found--Jac16888 13:24, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Since when is any actor who makes any appearance whatsoever on a show a member of its "cast"? I've seen this with other lists that have been AFD'd and it's bizarre. Anyway, the List of Minor Characters linked above seems much more accurate and useful; I don't see any reason to keep this article. Propaniac 13:19, 29 May 2007 (UTC)


 * sorry, but how does this actually work, is there a time limit and after that the article is deleted or do we just wait till enough people support either side or what?thanks--Jac16888 13:32, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * The AFD discussion lasts five days, although most discussion usually happens in the first one or two days after an entry is posted. An admin will close the discussion and determine what the consensus opinion is (if there is no consensus, the article remains). You can read more about the process at WP:AFD.

 * oh, ok thanks--Jac16888 13:44, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 12:25, 30 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Would support merging per User MPD. -- saberwyn 13:25, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge per MPD. JJL 00:45, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * for those supporting merge, if you check the discussion page for this article you will see there is a list of about 15 people who've appeared in scrubs and who aren't on the scrubs minor characters page. half played un-named characters, which i feel makes them not noteworthy enough for inclusion, and the other half played very minor roles--Jac16888 12:51, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I personally have no problems with the unnamed characters "falling through the gaps". As for the v-minor characters, if the editors maintaining the list feel justified in adding them, go for it. If not, too bad, so sad. -- saberwyn 23:15, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect to List of minor characters of Scrubs. DHowell 05:38, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. I think by now, all the cast members that need to get included in List of minor characters of Scrubs are included, and all the other people mentionned on this page are minor enough that they can be mentionned in individual episode pages... if at all. So I guess this page is ready to be deleted. --Gpollock 16:22, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
