Recurring characters of Home and Away

WP:FANCRUFT. Recurring characters are of low importance in any television soap, particularly as a majority are non notable, their screen dates are questionable (entire article unsourced) and there is an article already List of Home and Away characters where some may already appear.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment Recurring characters are of low importance in any television soap – That is simply not true. Just because a character is introduced in a recurring capacity does not necessary make them less notable. A lot of recurring characters are brought in for notable story arcs, they help facilitate the main cast's own storylines, and are often brought back if they prove popular with viewers. No recurring characters should appear on List of Home and Away characters, as that list was meant for past regular characters. I don't think the dates are questionable either. It hasn't been kept up with, but each character should be linked to their respective article or yearly cast list, which provides date info. Even if it's with an episode cite, each entry can be sourced though. - JuneGloom07 Talk  22:50, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - The series at present has some thirty character lists. There is a cutoff point where a general encyclopedia just cannot go any further down the infinite spiral of fiction. The point for this series is likely a lot higher, but this is a good starting point. TTN (talk) 12:20, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Just a list of characters that doesn't really tell anything about them. J I P  &#124; Talk 23:33, 4 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep - Recurring characters are very important to most, if not all, serialized programs. Merging with past characters list would make the page unnecessarily long. Msjraz64 (talk) 20:01, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
