Test Card Girl
editI've removed a picture of Test Card Girl. It's non-free, so putting it on this article must be justified by a fair use case on the image page, otherwise the only effect of putting it here will be to get it automatically tagged for deletion. --Tony Sidaway 23:15, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Merger discussion
edit- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
- To merge all list and characted articles (except those specifically excluded by Irltoad) to List of characters in the Life on Mars franchise, using the draft produced by Irltoad as a template; some consolidation as part of the merge is warranted. Klbrain (talk) 15:36, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
- 1. For characters only in one show, eg. Sam Tyler and Alex Drake, merge to the relevant articles. For characters appearing in both, eg. Ray Carling and Chris Skelton, move general information to both pages and discuss information solely relevant to Life on Mars here, and information solely relevant to Ashes to Ashes at List of Ashes to Ashes characters, with links to each other.
- 2. My preferred option. Create a new list article for the main characters, and have the current lists for minor/recurring characters (possibly with a move, eg. List of Life on Mars recurring characters. This would avoid having overly long articles and having information on some characters split between articles. I'm less sure on the name for the new article – is List of Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes main characters too long/convoluted? Maybe something along the lines of List of main characters in the Life on Mars franchise?

- Comment: I actually think a third way to merge might be better than either two I suggested above; merging all characters (except Hunt) and both lists into one page, which I have created a rough bare-bones draft for: Draft:List of characters in the Life on Mars franchise. I don't see the need for two individual lists. I took some inspiration from List of characters in the Breaking Bad franchise due to its very similar scope. Irltoad (talk) 15:41, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
- Seconded - the entire Ashes To Ashes characters page is absurdly detailed and needs some trimming anyway, each 80s reference does not need a paragraph to itself (for example, it is the only place where I have ever seen Morph’s surname referenced) Joeldelusional (talk) 23:28, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Irltoad: sounds fine; support. Klbrain (talk) 10:31, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
