Seems that this article has a weak characters section. Most TV shows, especially long running ones, have a list or bullet point characters section, or even a link to another article "List of Characters On...". Melrose had a lot of well known characters and cast members and it deserves expansion. -- 96.49.117.96 ( talk) 05:27, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
Months ago, I proposed a merger of Seasons of Melrose Place because WP:PLOT is against it. However, I wonder if there is interest to put effort into doing a bold thing. -- George Ho ( talk) 22:10, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
The result of the proposal was not moved. I give little weight to the opposes. The relevant question which no one addressed with any evidence but assertion, is whether this is the primary title, through evidence of commonality. I suspect it may be, but I'm not going to guess and I'm finding myself far too often as a closer having to the do the research myself because it wasn't provided.-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 12:47, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
Melrose Place (1992 TV series) → Melrose Place (TV series) or Melrose Place – This proposed name has been associated with the very old show, not the short-lived newer one. Do we must obey WP:NCTV's disambiguating by year and stuff? What about Psycho (film)? Actually, maybe the show itself is more familiar to people outside the U.S. more than any other street with the same name, which inspired the TV show -- George Ho ( talk) 13:32, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Move. Jafeluv ( talk) 07:23, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
Melrose Place (1992 TV series) → Melrose Place – We do not have an article on the street, so there is only one other topic by the name "Melrose Place". Of the two, I think it's obvious that the original is the primary topic, so per WP:TWODABS, we do not need the disambiguation page. Furthermore, it is my opinion that when there are only two options, the threshold for primacy can and should be much lower than normal, to increase the number of opportunities to avoid a disambiguation page.

Have you noticed that one of the stars was John Newton born in 1725?" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.177.6.62 ( talk) 16:53, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
