Awards and nominations section - actor awards being moved to their individual pages, what about writers, directors, etc.?

In light of the discussion at K.C. Undercover, the decision was to move any award or nomination for an actor/actress to his/her individual Wikipedia article instead of keeping it in the article for the show for which he/she received the award or nomination. (In that case, Zendaya was the only one with awards/nominations listed in that section at K.C. Undercover.)

In this article, however, we have another related issue with the awards and nominations listing, where individuals are the recipients of the accolades rather than the show itself—writers in this case. I'm neutral as to whether they, or directors, producers, costume designers, etc., should stay on the list or be moved to their individual articles. Looking up the two listed writers (Matthew Nelson and Mark Blutman) on Wikipedia, though, indicates neither has an article, so I'm thinking the status quo for how this section is presented right now, but what about in general, should any have Wikipedia articles? Again, I have no opinion regarding these individuals staying on the list or being moved to their articles, but it is a good question considering actors/actresses are being moved.

@MPFitz1968: Those are specifically for an episode of the show written/directed by them, so I think they can stay. nyuszika7h (talk) 15:16, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If the award is specifically for writing, directing or acting in an episode(s) of this series, then it basically is an award for both the series and the person. Like Academy awards for acting count for both movie and the person when the award count for a movie is listed. Also Emmy awards are for best performance in a specific series should be listed for both. If the award is a popularity award as such as favorite/best whatever of the year actor with no specific performance connection, that should be for the person only. Awards for the show in general don't belong on an actor page. Geraldo Perez (talk) 16:55, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I'll need something cleared up. A recent edit I made here [1] removed two Teen Choice Awards nominations for Choice Summer TV Actor (Peyton Meyer) and Choice Summer TV Actress (Rowan Blanchard), because I was under the impression that it is for the actor/actress only and not the show, and the category names indicate that. I still think that, but the source of the info [2] clearly identifies the show in the listing for both categories. So is the removal from the awards and nominations listing here still the correct move?

On the part about awards for the show in general not belonging on the actor page, I'm in full agreement there, and recently removed Girl Meets World awards and nominations that were for the show from Rowan Blanchard's page [3]. MPFitz1968 (talk) 17:27, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If the actual nomination text itself mentions both the person and the show, the award belongs in both articles. If the name of this show is mentioned in the award, then it is a award for this show and should be in this article. It would be best to get the primary source from the actual award in case the secondary source is making assumptions but in the reference given looks like a correct report. Of course those sources should be in the article to show WP:SCOPE inclusion. Geraldo Perez (talk) 17:41, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Spin-off" or "sequel" to Boy Meets World?

An edit at Boy Meets World [4] had me scratching my head about whether calling Girl Meets World a "spin-off" or a "sequel" to that show is more accurate. In looking up the definitions of the terms, either seems to fit, and looking thru several inline citations in this article indicates sources use either. I reverted the edit at BMW anyway [5], as it seems unnecessary to flip-flop between the two if one use is established. MPFitz1968 (talk) 05:23, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Spin-off is more appropriate, in my opinion, just like how Bunk'd is a spin-off of Jessie. A sequel typically involves all the same cast. Amaury (talk | contribs) 05:26, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sarah Carpenter

I have previewed the latest episode of Girl Meets World on Watch Disney ("Girl Meets Her Monster") (spoiler alert!) and Sarah Carpenter, Sabrina's sister, has guest star billing for the first time in this episode. She has portrayed classmate Sarah for pretty much the show's entire run, in numerous episodes but always a co-star, although for very early episodes, she may have been credited as "Student #X". There's going to be the temptation to list her, either in this article or the LoC article, as recurring following this episode, and at the moment, I'm not sure which way I'd lean with this inclusion. This is far different from Timmy in Bunk'd (Nate Stone), where he appeared in only four episodes, getting no credit in two of them, a co-star credit in the third, and a guest star credit in the fourth ("Camp Kiki-Slasher"). Sarah Carpenter has been in way more than four episodes, though I don't know exactly how many ... I'm estimating the tally to be somewhere between the high teens and two dozen. Episodes where she has at least one spoken line may be a bit closer to a dozen or slightly less. Thoughts? MPFitz1968 (talk) 15:20, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@MPFitz1968: She was basically a background character from your description up until the recent episode which is the first one she got a significant role (or her agent got her a promotion). I'd suggest waiting for more guest starring roles before declaring her recurring. I'd be OK with at least one more guest star role given the number of times showed up as co-starring.

Have added Sarah to the recurring characters section at List of Girl Meets World characters after another guest star billing in "Girl Meets Hollyworld". MPFitz1968 (talk) 08:54, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
