List of Home and Away cast members[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This is a pointless page, there are already other lists of characters and so on. It's not even sourced and so on... the only difference is this list is "meant" to focus on the actors. List of Home and Away characters is already in use for the list... plus they get a mention in List of past Home and Away characters.. RAIN..the..ONE ^HOTLINE 22:53, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Delete Redundant lists are useless. Perhaps a redirect would work. Redundant lists are useless. Perhaps a redirect would work. Sven Manguard Wha? 23:55, 10 January 2011 (UTC) Sven Manguard Wha? 23:55, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete superfluous other character lists. Jenks24 (talk) 08:29, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Home and Away characters as a plausible search term. -- saberwyn 22:50, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Cast members are not characters. There is absolutely no problem with having lists about both. Doing so is preferable for navigational purposes. Other soap operas seem to organise cast and characters with separate lists too (see Days of our Lives). The arguments above seem to me to be arguments by assertion. No policy-based reason is given for the deletion. Policy-based reasons are good before we delete the hard work of others.--Mkativerata (talk) 23:42, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Hard work of others? Maybe, but lazy at the same time, a pointless list and not by any policy on wikipedia does it hold it's own because no references, not holding any of the content as verifiable.. The D.O.O.L list has eight references for over 500 characters. These cast members are mentioned once in a list already.
The article was created well before our current referencing standards evolved and it is certainly not unfixable. In the meantime, the information is so uncontroversial that there's no real risk leaving the list up while it is fixed. --Mkativerata (talk) 01:18, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Which is why it should be brought up to date in that case, in this case they are mentioned many times in different lists and articles assoicated with this serial. So with that we're evolving the other lists and articles where this information has become more in place, I don't think it helps encouraging leaving orphaned lists lying around wikipedia, because they are deemed non controversial. Cleaning up seems better in my eyes.RAIN..the..ONE ^HOTLINE 01:29, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - It offers no alternative to the character lists, all the information is there in the other ones, just in a different order. Aside from this, there are too many Home and Away lists, and not nearly enough content, verifiable or otherwise, to warrant them. Ooh, Fruity @ Ooh, Chatty 01:38, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Redirect, redundant. Abductive (reasoning) 04:16, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
