Scott Robinson and Charlene Mitchell

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Another soap opera supercouple that is pure WP:PLOT+OR reception, so in essence another case where TWO fictional characters get THREE articles (through said two articles about the individual characters are much better referenced). BEFORE shows only mentions in passing/unreliable fan sites. Can anyone find sources to warrant keeping this instead of just converting this into a disambig?

 * Keep reluctantly. I was going to delete this a just FANDOM trivia but when there are sources such as the 25th anniversary of their wedding, the 30th anniversary of their tv wedding, and the 20 best tv couples, it is hard to think the subject is not notable.  It is certainly sustained non trivial coverage.  These three are not fan sites.  They are mainstream media, and the SMH is regarded as very highly reliable.

 * Keep per . — Hunter Kahn 13:09, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: This is easily sourced; Kylie Minogue is a huge star and the couple's wedding was watched by 20 million viewers in the UK. Besides the source already in the article -- Andrew Mercado's Super Aussie Soaps: Behind the Scenes of Australia's Best Loved TV Shows, a secondary source of TV criticism -- I added a link to Kylie - Naked: A Biography, and a reference on the 30th anniversary of the wedding from Metro.co.uk. If you're not familiar with the concept of "supercouples" and their importance in soap opera narrative, you should check out Soap Opera Supercouples: The Great Romances of Daytime Drama and the chapter "The Siren Call of the Super Couple: Soap Operas' Destructive Slide Toward Closure" in Staying Tuned: Contemporary Soap Opera Criticism. -- Toughpigs (talk) 20:00, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep: Per User:Toughpigs, this is easily sourced, it's just finding the time to do it. I own a copy of Super Aussie Soaps, so I can certainly improve that source and add the relevant information. I also have the various Neighbours books, which discuss the characters, and the special April 2012 TV Week dedicated to the character's relationship and wedding episode. I've already sourced their children and added a little bit of reception. The character's relationship is still brought up now by journalists writing about the show and is currently competing in a Guardian poll to find 'the most unforgettable Australian TV moment'. - JuneGloom07 Talk  21:07, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment: I found some time to add sourced content explaining the couple's history. There's more to add about the wedding, later storylines and reception, but I think it passes WP:GNG. - JuneGloom07 Talk  23:42, 5 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep per the above. The couple has received enough coverage from third-party, reliable sources to meet the WP:GNG requirements. Aoba47 (talk) 22:15, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment, "Another soap opera supercouple", sorry but "Scott and Charrrleeeene" was the soap opera supercouple in Australia (and probably UK?) in the mid/late 80s, the article has subsequently been improved with independent sources showing that it easily meets WP:GNG so is a keep.

 * Keep - A fictional pairing that created mass hysteria with their wedding and watched by millions in the 1980s. A google search of just "Scott Charlene" brings up many reliable sources indicating it passes GNG. They had books, videos, the Angry Anderson vinyl cover, t-shirts and countless magazine covers. Three decades have passed and they are still being written about in the media.Rain <b style="color:green">the 1</b> 09:00, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment. Ok but do we really need THREE articles about two fictional characters...? --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:41, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I can only say that there's information in this article that it isn't present in the other articles, and it focuses more on the couple together not the individual characters. But the article is no longer full of plot and OR, which was the real issue. I plan on working on it further, adding a lead and so on. - <b style="color: Purple; font-family: Arial;">JuneGloom07</b> Talk  23:36, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
