List of one-time characters and guest stars on Desperate Housewives[edit]

List of characters that appeared one time on Desperate housewives. I could list go into detail about how this violates WP:Plot and other policies and guideline but I think this clearly something that is in no way encyclopedic. I fell bad because a ton of work has been put into it, but it really should not be on wikipedia Ridernyc 20:56, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I was going to give fans the benefit of the doubt before AfD'ing this list myself because most one-time character list AfDs end up in no consensus. But since this AfD is open now, I repeat what I've said in similar AfDs: These characters have almost no in-universe notability, and except for rare cases, have no real-world notability (which is all what Wikipedia cares about). This list likely cannot be expanded except for plot summaries (which would violate WP:PLOT), and as it is now, has WP:NOTABILITY, WP:TRIVIA and WP:DIRECTORY problems. There is no need to keep a list of important one-timers as they are already mentioned in their respective episode articles; "unimportant" characters shouldn't be listed anyway in a separate list. – sgeureka ^t•c 21:43, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of minor characters on Ugly Betty. Even the title of this article seems to highlight its non-notability! •97198 talk 12:26, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, not encyclopedic. -RiverHockey 13:23, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Unnecessary, non-notable listcruft, and over-coverage of a fictional subject. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CrazyLegsKC (talk • contribs) 04:41, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
