List of minor Hollyoaks characters (1997)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

List of minor characters in a certain year, unlikly to grow very much, also mostly focuses on one character, possibly trying to mask non-notability as there are no citations or refrences as well. --Ipatrol (talk) 00:17, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

This was essentially a work-in-progress to clean up the clutter on the parent page. As there are no other characters with available data, I'll make a separate article for Holly. --Conquistador2k6 (talk) 00:27, 15 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep, or possibly merge into a year range. A notable soap opera like this should definitely have character lists, as the characters and interactions between them are what make such shows notable.  A single year may have too few characters to sustain an entire article, though.  Reading the current version, I note that there's way too much detail on a single character, but wouldn't suggest a separate article for said character.  If she really is a minor character, trimming it to just a couple of short paragraphs covering only the most important plot points would be the best way forward.

 * Delete This version of List of minor and recurring characters from Hollyoaks from a couple of days ago (now a redirect essentially to a dab page) was just 48kB big. Along with some much needed trimming per WP:WAF, the list is far away from the 60KB "Probably should be divided" level of WP:SIZE. – sgeureka t•c 13:53, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge It's worth merging the years into one article. afkatk (talk) 04:23, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and discuss how to merge this on the talk p. for the main article. This has gone back and forth in several directions. This is not the place to settle this editing question. DGG (talk) 05:26, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
