Talk:List of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation characters

message: ===Discussion===
Actually I think that List of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation cast members should be imported here to replace what we have and make it a list. The information here is beyond the call for a list page. -- Ipstenu (talk • contribs) 20:56, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Discussion

message: I'll see your mock-up, and raise you one created page! I've also added a little more info on the detectives and crime lab techs. This new article, however, raises the question: what is a minor character? Perhaps the best way to go about this is to ask: what is a major character? My proposals below
Major characters
*Opening credits characters ("Main Characters" in other articles)
*CSIs: Ecklie, possibly Keppler
*Crime lab techs: Hodges, Archie, Mia, Bobby Dawson, Super Dave Phillips
*Detectives/LVPD: Sam Vega, Ray O'Riley, possibly Cavaliere (not Det. Vartann, insufficient notable appearances to justify), Sheriff Rory Atwater
*Bad guys: my current "Notable Villains and Serial Killers" table, maybe without Tammy Felton and Judge Cohen
*Others: Lady Heather, Sam Braun, Lindsey, possibly Lily Flynn (Cath's mother)

thread_title: Poll

message: The Miniature Killer's status is listed as "Deceased (Possibly suicidal by hanging)". That doesn't sound all that encyclopedic to me. As far as I can tell, it seems to list her status as something definitive (e.g: "Deceased") because she might be suicidal. Even if she is suicidal, it wouldn't neccesarilly mean that she actually has committed suicide yet. Unless she is shown to actually commit suicide, or a character or whatever states that she has committed suicide, isn't it then somewhat ambigious whether or not she is dead or alive?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.243.192.134 (talk) 10:24, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Warning about vandalism 

message: The main page on all the CSI shows are getting filled with "Notable" guest stars who sometimes played a person killed off in the opening sequence and was not credited until the end of the show, if at all. I know any attempt at a guideline for notability will result in upset by fans of these (often times minor) actors. Even if it was determined the actor's name must appear in opening credits, there will be fans who refuse to follow a Wiki rule when it comes to somebody who was on Dawson's Creek or the Gossip Girls. So I think the guest stars section should be on the characters page. Anyone else agree or have an alternate idea that could help clean up the main CSI pages and perhaps have a shot at Good Article status?

thread_title:  Moving all guest stars to this section 

message: Hi, I've been adding new tables, pictures, and a short summary of the cast, I think it goes together very well to make an easy to read and aesthetically pleasing article. Most of the time I've been working on this without actually logging in, anyway, I would appreciate it if you have any problems with it to discuss it first instead of just reverting because it took me quite a while to complete it, thanks  Jane Rizzoli (talk) 23:48, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: New Look Article

message: i've just removed a series of subsections describing clusters of guest cast who appear together on other shows, and identifying the CSI episodes in which they appear.  While I appreciate the work involved in compiling them, they're really just trivia/fancruft, and rather randomly assembled.  For every one identified, there are probably three or four more no one's noticed yet, which raises the question as to why these shows in particular? And more importantly, what does any of it have to do with CSI when what's being documented is almost entirely coincidence.  Sorry, but it all has to go.  --Drmargi (talk) 17:41, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Six degrees" lists of guest cast 

message: The section that contained Sqweegel was clearly called "Recurring villains". It has been more than two full years since his first (and to date, only) appearance within the CSI universe. If he was a recurring villain, he would have had more than one appearance.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.30.38.47 (talk) 08:19, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: At one time, we were lead to believe Sqweegel would return, thus the inclusion.  Given it's now been two years, removing him certainly makes sense. --Drmargi (talk) 01:53, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  I've Removed Sqweegel 

message: Once again, I've removed the list of guest stars from the article.  It seems to have been a rather arbitrary list of "who's who's" from the show's run, with no inclusion criteria other than someone's interest in an actor.  Most notable is who's been on the show but not included; there appears to have been no effort made to be systematic about how or which guest stars are listed.  Worse, many are fairly obscure, requiring length explanations (such as Milo Ventimigilia, the last added.)  Some are fairly major actors but many more are "it" stars of the moment.  Regardless, the list fails WP:INDISCRIMINATE, and has no place in the article.  --Drmargi (talk) 01:49, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
