Material from Pan Am (TV series) was split to List of Pan Am episodes on November 12, 2011. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted so long as the latter page exists.

Would you please change "cancelled" to "canceled" for me? The reason for this is because "canceled" is spelled with only one "l".

I've just come to look up the real life name of a cast member only to read that they are discovered as a double agent in the finale season finale. Very annoyed! I have removed that sentence as surely the case should be a description of who they are / job they do. Brief, non spoiler type info. It appears that more spoiler information has been entered for other cast members. Should this be removed too? I wanted to ask because I didn't want to perform a mass edit, and I don't particularly want to spoil anymore of the season by reading anything else :( 82.13.229.66 ( talk) 21:46, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
I'm in favor of current spoiler policy, but there is a feasible argument to be made against including such plot information in a list of series characters. The common argument against spoiler warnings is that spoilers should be expected in an encyclopedic plot summary. Leaving crucial plot pivot-points out of character summaries seems a reasonable goal, as it makes the Wiki more "user friendly." Bustter ( talk) 19:46, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
The characters should be listed by their names in the series, not by the actors. Have already changed those for Main Cast. Also, recommend listing by alphabetical order, as there seems no reason for the listing as is. Too much content is provided on the characters; it should be identity, not a rolling account of events.

Need RS (Reliable sources) for cites. IMDB is not considered one, per Wikipedia policy/guidelines. Have deleted IMDB cites. Parkwells ( talk) 22:01, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
Surely Sanjeev has a given name and surname like all the other characters? He was in seven episodes and has no last name, a pity. Parkwells ( talk) 22:52, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
