Talk:List of Coronation Street characters introduced in 1960

Kylie Willingson

edit

I've removed this character - the link to a main article for her is dead and there isn't a single Google result for her. Given that the name Kylie was unheard of in the UK prior to "Neighbours" (launched in the UK some 26 years after "Coronation Street") I'm assuming this is someone's idea of a joke.

Plot summary?

edit

Your tag says Plot summary too long. But this is a list of characters. There isn't a plot summary. I think the blank sections with links should feature a summary of the relevant article. Valetude (talk) 22:00, 16 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

New entry for Elsie Tanner (19/2/20)

edit

(Following my last) Where there is reference to a dedicated article, I think it is helpful to provide a summary of the relevant parts of that article - in the present case, the opening phase (1960). I think describing the later events would be off-topic. I don’t know if you have any comments on this scheme. But it might be worth replicating with the other characters, perhaps editing-down some of the over-long sections to a similar length. Valetude (talk) 19:33, 19 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Last paragraph of David Barlow section

edit

Is there any source to confirm this magazine story about the survival of David Barlow existed and, if so, any evidence that it had any official status - it seems unlikely something that would have been agreed by Granada at the time and I am not sure if this is just a hoax, a piece of fan fiction or something else entirely.

I have removed it. Thank you for alerting about this – if this was true it would have referenced much more in the show and in anniversary books and documentaries etc. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 20:39, 24 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

– This is an abbreviated list, as there are a total of 305 articles at titles like List of Coronation Street characters (1990) and List of Emmerdale characters (2018), all of which are proposed for retitling. The complete list is at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television#Lists of series characters by year. These titles are deceptive, as they are not for lists of all characters on the series in those years, but are only lists of characters introduced in those years — a fact reflected in the category tree for these articles, Category:Television characters by year of introduction, containing, e.g., Category:Television characters introduced in 1995. I propose to move all of these to "List of [name of show] characters introduced in [year]" titles. BD2412 T 20:13, 15 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
