All of these articles have now been redirected here, and as such, some of them might need some of their information (accessible from their page histories) merged into this article. --CrazyLegsKC 16:46, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
As with many other TV characters, this one is only notable within the context of the show. It's unlikely that there will ever be sufficient reliable third party sources that demonstrate he is a significant character who's article can go beyond mere WP:PLOT points.

It's unlikely that there will ever be sufficient reliable third party sources that demonstrate he is a significant character who's article can go beyond mere WP:PLOT points. The characters is certainly less notable than many characters that already have been merged with strong consensus. -- Magioladitis (talk) 08:11, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

The story for Felicia Tilman is very long. She was a very notable character, and she deserves to have her own page, so I am including everything in her story here on this list on a page all for herself. - Renaboss (talk) 16:42, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

"Adam Mayfair" must me merged as well. Plus, the notability of a character in the show and the notability of an article about a character is not the same thing. -- Magioladitis (talk) 22:16, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
I think that the current list of characters is really long and it is a mess, especially with the lots of redirects and the repeated section names (Immediate family, Season 1 introduced acquaintances, etc.) As the series is not completed yet, new information will be added to the current characters and more characters will appear. This will eventually get this list even larger and unreadable, and it is a violation of the article size policy. My proposal is to create 5 pages under the name of "Acquaintances of (the housewife's name)", namely Susan, Lynette, Bree, Gabrielle and Edie. I suggest this as the Wikipage on Notability states that minor characters should be sorted in minor characters' lists. This 5 pages as well as the current list of characters would get a section per character (similar to Characters of Final Fantasy VIII), to allow more information to be added, especially from those redirected characters who had individual articles. If there are no objections or suggestions, I will proceed with this in a few days. --LoЯd ۞pεth 18:45, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
I notice that Katherine and Edie do not get their own pages, but merely sections. May I suggest that Edie get her own page (Acquaintances of Edie Britt) and Katherine has her own section in the current page. Also, Mary Alice gets her own section, as she is, indeed, a protagonist, along with the core five, and Katherine.
The article is unreferenced, contains only an extended WP:PLOT. We already have articles about the seasons where people can read the series plot there. I suggest we merge the article here. -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:06, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
Because this show relies so heavily on flashbacks that are woven into the storylines, especially this past season, I think we should change the articles of the individual character choices. Instead of summarizing the events of the characters' lives by season (which in my opinion is dancing on the line of WP:PLOT), we should summarize their lives chronologically. There are flashbacks that aired in season five that take place in previous seasons and should be mentioned in those season's sections of the articles, if that makes sense. But to do that, we couldn't necessarily break the article up with "season one", "season two", etc. Maybe we could rename those sections "2004-2005", "2005-2006", etc (and I supposed "2008-2013" for anything that happened in the five year leap), or really anything that would allow us to accurately write the information in chronological order. Akcvtt (talk) 22:25, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
I know this has been stepped on over and over again, and I apologize in advance, but it actually annoys that new characters, such as Angie Bolen and Ana Solis, that have yet to make all that many appearances and prove they're all that noteworthy, get to have character pages just because they are currently on the series, when past regular and recurring characters have been so notable they are still mentioned to this day and some of 'em are actually currently on the series, and yet they have to be a part of lists of characters with very few info on them. I am (again, sorry for the repetitiveness) suggesting we bring back the pages for the following characters: Betty Applewhite, Karl Mayer, Rex Van de Kamp, Felicia Tilman, John Rowland, Paul Young, Danielle Van de Kamp, Matthew Applewhite, Zach Young, Dave Williams and Ian Hainsworth, and maybe create a page for Juanita Solis, who has proven to be very noteworthy. I think regular characters such as the Scavo kids, Caleb, George, Dylan, MJ, Austin, or Nick and Danny are still not notable enough to deserve their own pages, and as such shouldn't get them or have them brought back. As for the others I previously mentioned, they sure do, and if we can all work together we can bring them back and polish them to get them to be adequate and encyclopaedia-worthy. -- Renaboss (talk) 19:49, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
What breed is the Scavo dog, any ideas?x
I am proposing that the article Angie Bolen be merged with this article. The article was nominated for deletion in September, but it was kept because people decided to wait how important Angie became to the series. As she is no longer a main character and her storyline, which only lasted one season, was largely separate from the series' central characters, I do not think she requires an individual article. As of now, the page only contains one external source. It's highly unlikely that even with additional third party sources that the article will improve. Akcvtt (talk) 04:41, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
I thought that Baxter was Ida greenberg cat. She told that name in season 3 episode 8. This cat was brown with white abdomen and Toby (supposedly Ida cat) is grey. Michu1945 (talk) 10:12, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

I come with this proposal to merge both Bob Hunter (Desperate Housewives) and Lee McDermott since they have not managed to prove Wikipedia:Notability outside the series, by having vast coverage by reliable secondary sources, as well as impact in popular culture. Even their role in the series is minor, they are not even secondary characters like Andrew or Karen McCluskey. Thoughts? --LoЯd ۞pεth 05:50, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
The suggestion by Akcvtt and the arguments provided by Sam10123 sound good to me. I think that we can perform the merger into one single article after the series finale (I know this violates Wikipedia:CRYSTALBALL, but I would prefer a longer discussion and see the final outcome of the series). --LoЯd ۞pεth 04:34, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
Melanie Foster is a tertiary character, mentioned in conversation and shown only in flashbacks. Her story is an integral part of the Applewhite brothers' story and is therefore already described in detail in their section. I just edited the bio for the Applewhites for grammar and structure, but this was already the case before I did so. Lpwallaby (talk) 17:30, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
This list doesn't even have MJ the son of who is arguably the shows main character(Susan). He should really be added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.255.172.229 (talk) 18:32, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
I come with this proposal to merge all Acquaintances pages into this list. The reason is because the characters are separated in a completely in-universe way, in several lists containing lots of minor characters (and some relevant ones), all of whom can be merged into one single, trimmed list. Right now, the four Acquaintances combined (Gabrielle's is already merged, and Susan's AfD result was "keep or merge"), plus the characters in the existing list would create a really large article. For this reason, I propose to: a) To trim the info on the remaining characters and b) Reduce the number of characters.
For the trimming thing, we have several really large sections such as Felicia's, Dave's or Ben's. They are really overdetailed, even containing entire pieces of conversations, which is against Wikipedia:FICTION. However, I suggest that the trimming takes place AFTER the mergers and point b)
For the number of characters thing, I suggest to remove all characters that appear only in a brief arc within one season, and leave only those recurring characters that appear in at least two or more seasons, or that had appeared in a significant plot or number of episodes within the same season (like Ian or Jane). My proposal is the following:
Acquaintances of Susan:
Acquaintances of Lynette:
Keep all children, perhaps merging Patrick into Paige's section. Trim Paige's section anyway because half of it is about Lynette or Tom's problems and not a description on Paige.
Acquaintances of Bree:
Acquaintances of Gabrielle: (already merged)
Rest of characters in the main List of Desperate Housewives characters:
Since there was no improvement of the Acquaintances pages, and per Susan's Acquaintances AfD, I will perform the mergers and the trimming of the lists. I will do first the mergers and then the trimming. --LoЯd ۞pεth 01:05, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
I rearranged the presentation of the article to present the characters in a more objective way, rather than sorting them by relationship to a housewife, which is in-universe. Originally, we had "Acquaintances of [each housewife]" articles, but they were merged precisely for the same reason: the characters were presented in a in-universe way. Some of the characters are acquaintance or even family members of more than one housewife; for instance, Noah and Deirdre Taylor were listed as "acquaintance" of Susan but never met her, and developed more into Mary Alice's storyline. Principal Hobson, who is also presented as acquaintance of Susan, develops more into Gabrielle's storyline in seasons 6 and 8. Justin was first introduced as John Rowland's friend and into Gabrielle's storyline until he becomes Andrew's boyfriend. And so on.
I sorted the characters according to the star billing in the series. All characters that received at least once a "Starring" credit were featured as "Main characters", no matter if they have their own articles or appear in few or lots of episodes (for example, Danielle or the Scavo twins are much more important for me than Ana Solis, yet they never received "Starring" status). Same happens with those who were "Also starring", which are presented as "Secondary characters". The rest of the characters are presented as "recurring characters". --LoЯd ۞pεth 02:43, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
