The following is copied from the talk pages of myself and Magioladitis:
I had to revert your edit to List of Prison Break minor characters about Kellerman's sister surname for two reasons: a) IMDB is not a trustful database and b) I didn't find any entry about Kristine in there. -- Magioladitis 23:55, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
That is certainly a fair point you raise about the Imdb, so I would think better of citing it. However, the page you linked was merely the "series cast and crew," which only lists actors that are credited as being in 2 or more episodes. You'll also notice no listing for "Kristine Kellerman" on that page either. TV.com also lists Tina Holmes as playing "Kristine Pace". Granted, it also has some user-created content, but in my experience, the credits tend to be more accurate than the Imdb with regard to recently aired episodes. Would this be justifiable as a secondary source? Thanks for the input. -Juansmith 06:01, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
The press releases are kind of dodgy with names like spelling Sara as "Sarah". I noticed that "Pace" was used in the press releases and in TV Guide which gets its info from press releases. That was the reason I added the character with that name prior to the episode "Fin Del Camino". Her last name was never spoken out loud but Paul Kellerman later wrote it down so ... I don't know ... Thanks for your reply, by the way. :) Ladida 14:58, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Shouldn't Pam Mahone, the wife of Alex Mahone, be mentioned in the article? I haven't seen the entire series yet, therefore can't write a conclusive summary, but someone should, unless there's a good reason not to. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 21:53, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
I think Hector Avila, Samantha Brinker and Pad Man, Aldo Burrows all should be merged into here. The characters didn't have a big participation, articles contain only in-universe unreferenced data. - Magioladitis (talk) 20:59, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
I am adding Luis "McGrady" Gallego in the list. This article has not references, consists only of plot, character won't reappear in the show and has no notability to has its own article. -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:44, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
I think we should add Sammy to the list. McGrady, Pad Man, Roland & Wyatt are more important then him and dont have their own article.Everyoneandeveryone (talk) 00:25, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
He's appeared in every episode of Season 4 so far and ahs played a fairly prominent role. I think he deserves his own article.Everyoneandeveryone (talk) 21:03, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
Gretchen is an important character, even if she hasnt been around for a long time. And since Self is a starring cast member, he'll play a big role throughout the fourth season. A merge with Norman "Lechero" St. John has also been proposed, and I am leaning towards it not being merged. But if any of these characters are merged, Sofia Lugo should be also.Everyoneandeveryone (talk) 23:42, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
I think that merging depends on the notability of the character, as a piece of art independent from its series.Right now we have far to many character articles for Prison Break. We can create a good list of characters article instead. According to WP:WAF, Very rarely should such spinout articles be about a singular topic (e.g., character, plot item); either that topic has demonstrated its own notability, or should be merged into the main article or existing spinout articles. -- Magioladitis (talk) 06:45, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
Hmmm...I still think Gretchen deserves an article if maybe we add a characteristics section, but Norman "Lechero" St. John, Donald Self & Sofia Lugo shud be merged. Everyoneandeveryone (talk) 17:35, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
You know, to be honest, I think this page is poorly formatted and is fairly confusing, we should think of ways to resturcture it. I have one idea; maybe we can change the sections. Instead of "characters introduced in season 1, 2, 3, 4", we could have a "Company members", "Fox River prisoners", "Fox River officers" etc etc. I am open to suggestions. Any other thoughts? -- Matthew R Dunn (talk) 17:03, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
I like that idea, but maybe he could forget the "introduced in season" and just have "Fox River Prisoners", "Fox River Staff", "Sona Prisoners", "Company agents", "Friends and family of main characters" etcEveryoneandeveryone (talk) 19:11, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
I think the "characters introduced in season 1, 2, 3, 4" is more off-universe but I am not sure what is better. -- Magioladitis (talk) 01:23, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
Why are they gone? I found them useful :( Im not gonna put them in just to get them deleted again though Everyoneandeveryone (talk) 19:52, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
I think Hector's description can be shortened and put in the "Other character's". The characters has a minor role in the series. -- Magioladitis (talk) 02:17, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
I felt perhaps I should comment here before making futher changes. Brinker was only in a total of 7 episodes and had relatively little screen time. Is it alright if I shorten her section slighly and put her under minor characters? Darthdyas (talk) 23:22, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
I'm having trouble providing links on other pages (where it's relevant) to the characters on this page under "other characters". Each section has a title called "other characters", so how does one link to one specific section out of these 5? Darthdyas (talk) 00:56, 8 January 2009 (UTC) I would just link to the general section for rxample "Fox River 8". If it was html I could solve it by adding a <a name=other1> tag. -- Magioladitis (talk)
Should David Baker, apprearing as the person who designed the room where Scylla is being kept, be included in the list? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.34.122.169 (talk) 21:20, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
I see that the complaint about in-universe perspective is almost a year old now. If it's cool with you guys, I'll try to rewrite some of the bios and try to to make it sound more out-of universe. Then you can decide if it's good enough to remove the notice. What do you think, should I give it a try? -- Darthdyas (talk) 16:26, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Padman which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 19:19, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
Is there any reason to have separate articles for main and non-main characters in the same series? The Optimistic One (talk) 22:36, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
