message: We need to give characters their own articles.  A lot of these entries are getting way too big. I started with Cletus but "Lovejoy Family" is incredibly large. I think we need to break it up a bit.
:Followup - List of entries which are too big to be in this "list"
*Cletus The Slack-Jawed Yokel
*Dr. Julius Hibbert
*Dr. Nick
*Kent Brockman

replies: text: Judging from the title of this article, "list of recurring characters from The Simpsons," I'm assuming its function is to list the recurring characters from The Simpsons.  Maybe I'm wrong?  Certainly larger entries should become separate articles, but I think they should still be linked from this list.--Tellybelly 19:43, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

By the way (Kinda Off Topic), there's a line that states that he reads Shakespeare in the comics, well, "Chespirito" was a nickname given to the actor Roberto Gomez Bolaños because of his writing skills, because Chespirito sounds like Shakespearito (little Shakespeare).

message: This page is in sore need of being reduced. Many sections are too long. Take for example, Baby Gerald. He's made a half dozen appearances and his section is longer than many others.
There are two options:
#We split the longer sections off into seperate articles.
#We trim out a lot of the NN cruft and try to get the sections down to 1 or 2 paragraphs (depending on the number of appearances).
I prefer the second one. The longer sections on the page are for Brandine Spuckler, Arnie Pie, Crazy Cat Lady, Eddie and Lou, Jebediah Springfield, Lindsey Naegle and the Rich Texan. Generally, I prefer to only have pages for characters who have either made (literally) hundreds of appearances or have played a major role in several episodes and have never really been key in several episodes. If anyone does want to split some characters off, I am open to it, but for now, I'm going to try and trim the article because most sections are basically filled with NN trivia. -- Scorpion 15:49, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm for a bit of both. I do think that certainly Eddie and Lou, and maybe a couple of others should have there own page. (I persoally think that we should just despense with this list and give them all there own pages, regardless of there size, but that is a different matter), as for those that remain the trimming seems like a good idea. Gran2 16:04, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The thing is: Once you take out the pointless retelling of jokes, many characters don't have much of a page. Eddie and Lou really don't need one. Although, perhaps a for the Springfield Police force could be created and they could be merged there. -- Scorpion 16:08, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, if a Springfield Police force page was made, then Eddie and Lou would be the only ones there, because there is almost never any other police members shown. I think that they are the most important Simpsons character who do not have a page, and I would like to give them one, but they would of course go together and there would have to be more information than on this page. So, anyway, the page looks okay with all that information taken out, but I would not do any more editing on it. Rhino131 16:34, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Somebody got rid of the Rich Texan on this page and gave him a seperate one. Does he really need his own page? This person just took the Texan's section on this page when it was longer and stuck it on an other page. It looks really bad. The person did not even put it on the Simpsons characters template. But, anyway, should it be fixed, added to the template, and be kept as a seperate article, or should it be gotten rid of and put back on this page? I think the second option would be better, but thats just my opinion. Any thoughts? Rhino131 00:04, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Here are some characters that I think could be added to this list. They have been in multiple episodes, so I think they should be here (and also, I'm kind of a fanatic about having all recurring characters in this page).
Martha Quimby- After a really bad page on her was deleted, it was redirected here, but no one put anything on her. I can't see all episodes, so I don't know much about her, but i'm sure she has been in a few episodes.
Sam and Larry- they are seen a lot in Moe's. They could also be in Moe's Tavern article if not here.
Arthur Crandall- don't know much about him, but it was said on this talk page he should be in this article.
Dr. Colossus- I think he has been in more than one episode.
If someone could add them, or at least say if they could be on this page, that would be great. Also, what's the name of Krusty's assistaint?  I have seen her in a few episodes. Rhino131 21:49, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

text: I guess you are arguing with me, but I can't bring myself to agree with you. Your problem is that you are too caught up with all of the WP:Crap out there. No one can really put something on wikipedia without some one else saying, "Oh, you can't do that because its a violation of WP:You can't do that  or WP:she has only spoken in one episode which makes her cruft or WP:wikipedia has so many rules that  it is driving User:Rhino131 insane." The page is for "recurring characters in the Simpsons". She is recurring, because recurring is not about speaking. If, lets say, Agness Skinner was mute and never talked when she appeared, nobody would say she is not recurring. Just appearing in many episodes makes a character recurring. Oh, and characters who have appeared in two or possible three episodes would not be here because that is not recurring. And actually, every sentence in Pennycandy's section appearers to have a source verifying the information, so I don't see why its cruft. And, really, is anyone really going to care if all the minor recurring characters are on this page? (Though I am sure there is a WP:Something that says this is not a valid argument). Rhino131 (talk) 23:15, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If you don't like the rules, then perhaps you should give the Simpsons Wiki a try. She has only spoken in one episode, so perhaps she is more suited for one-timers page. The Simpsons is a show where virtually every character who has appeared in a large role an episode appears in the background in later episodes. So by your logic, practically every character from the one-timers list should be merged here. To prevent this page from becoming a disaster where every character that has appeared in two episodes has a section, we limit it to recurring speaking characters, and limit the one-timers to the one-timers page and the rest to the general characters list. -- Scorpion0422 23:35, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I really doubt that most one timers appear in the background multiple times, and even if they do, the one time page still defines that as appearing one time. I have already said I don't consider twice appearing characters as recurring anyway. You seem to be thinking I would want to add characters like that one try n save security guard, who has appeared in one episode and in the background of another. I don't consider pretty much any of the people on the one time page to be recurring; I have a good idea of who is recurring and who is not, and she is. My problem is that I am obsessed with putting every single recurring character on the page, rules or no rules. I know I won't get my way, however, so I'm not going to try to put her back again.

message: Would Bud Armstrong the Pro Football comissioner fro Homer and Ned's Hail Mary Pass and Million Dollar Abie be considered recurring. He has appeared in two episodes like many characters on this list (examples, Jack Larson, Lugash, and Cecil). Anyway if not he should be on the list of one-time characters under Million Dollar Abie, but that sounds abnormal as his second appearance would be his one-time character appearance.Dr. Ralph Wiggum (talk) 23:54, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Two episodes is not recurring (Cecil has already been removed and Larson has appeared in more than two), unless he has had minor appearances or appeared in the background for a few more episodes. In the one time characters list, he would be listed under the episode in which he first appeared chronologically. Rhino131 (talk) 00:04, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Well he didn't do much in Viva, and was only shown briefly, so I still think he is a one time character Ctjf83Talk 22:13, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
