I am also nominating the following related pages:

- List of Blake's 7 cast members ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- List of Brookside cast members ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- List of Minder cast members ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- List of Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) cast members ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Data dumps of blue- and redlinked actor names where IMDb might do a better job, and WP:NOT#DIR or WP:LISTN might apply. (The category equivalent is WP:PERFCAT.) All(!) of these lists either have a separate "List of characters" for their respective show, or a sizeable "Cast and characters" section in their show's main article. This is a test case how to deal with comparable lists in Category:Lists of actors by television series. – sgeureka t• c 11:15, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

- Keep You can't delete it because you think something else would be better. The lists would be better if they had columns for listing which episode/s the actors were on and their character name. Perfectly valid lists though, too long to fit in the main article. Plenty of blue links to justify them being valid list. If you could find all the names at character list such as
List of Bad Girls characters without anyone left out, then you could just redirect there.

- WP:DEL-REASON states WP:CONTENTFORKs (creation of multiple separate articles all treating the same subject) as a common reason for deletion. Seeing that MOS:TVCAST doesn't differentiate much between Cast and Character listings, I'd say it's pretty clear we're dealing with content forks here. – sgeureka t• c 18:16, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
- Redirect all to each's respective parent article. None of the list articles follow the MOS:TVCAST format and there is no criteria in each list denoting the importance of each cast member in the shows. The lists may have potential (thus the history should be preserved) but are of no real value to readers as they are now. Ajf773 ( talk) 19:31, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
