- Keep - same argument as with the AfD for Acquaintances of Susan Mayer: when a series has several minor characters spread in numerous articles, Wikipedia says that deletion should be a last resort and recommends that "articles on minor characters in a work of fiction may be merged into a "list of minor characters in ...";". The main list of characters is already too long, and this article features many characters that once were part of the main cast, such as John Rowland, Ana Solis or Juanita Solis, but that are not notable enough for a separate article. Surely, there are sources discussing the portrayals of Jesse Metcalfe, Maiara Walsh, or Madison De La Garza, perhaps not to split own articles for their characters, but at least to keep this least with real-world content. In any case, I favor trimming and merging into the main List, over just deleting. --LoЯd ۞pεth 07:09, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Merge It is excessively detailed, per WP:INDISCRIMINATE - Wikipedia articles are meant to be more than just plot summaries. Editing and merging seems better, unless some encyclopedic content can be added, like critical analysis - but is there really good quality material for critical analysis of minor characters? --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:42, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge into a list of characters in the series or else Delete. Information on the characters in a fictional work might be okay for an encyclopedia, but entire articles or lists on how they relate to each other seems more like something that belongs in a fan site.

- Merge into a character list. This is excessive coverage--if any of these are notable, break them out into their own character articles, but I'd need to see a real good justification for multiple list of characters from a single TV series. Of course, trimming appropriately during merge is a great idea, too. Jclemens (talk) 02:57, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: Per everything Lord Opeth said. The article is worthy to keep. Creativity97 (Talk) 14:48, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Summarize and merge into a broader / shorter character list. It's a real no-no to endlessly fork an article or list unless individual subjects truly become notable. See WP:AVOIDSPLIT. Shooterwalker (talk) 21:47, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
