[edit] AfD notice

All of the character articles and episode articles (except for the first episode) have been nominated for deletion. The discussion is at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Misc Pushing Daisies articles. -- Ned Scott 02:10, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Changing format

Since the individual character articles have been deleted, shouldn't we change the major characters table to match the format for the minor characters, so we can actually add character information? (I will do this later, when I have time, if nobody says anything) Mr. Absurd (talk) 04:35, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Digby's Age

I find it interesting that in the table, Digby's age is listed as 3, except that he's closer to 23 (he was 3 when the truck hit him, which happened 20 years ago). I assume that's to reflect the age he's essentially frozen at, but perhaps there should be some sort of explanation as to why that age was chosen. Nolefan32 (talk) 17:51, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

That age was chosen because there was absolutely no sign of Digby having aged, so he's probably three years old forever. Jasonbres (talk) 18:21, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

That's fine, but considering the dog has been alive for 23 years, it seems there should be some explanation on the page to the effect of why we're saying a dog that Ned has had since childhood is only 3 years old. Granted in Digby's case, there probably should be a note about his age, be it posted as 3 or 23. And I would also note that on other pages for essentially immortal characters where their ages are listed (such as the vampires from Buffy the Vampire Slayer or the McLeods from the Highlander series), the age given is how many years they've been on Earth and not what age they stopped aging at.

[edit] One-time characters

All characters who have only made one appearance should promptly be removed. They fail to meet the notability guideline. This page is already way too long and it will not get any shorter at its current rate. –thedemonhog talk • edits 22:41, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

I would agree with this for most of the one-time characters. But those that we know will more than likely make future appearances (such as Dilly Balsam, in that Molly Shannon originally signed on for three episodes so we can expect she'll be back) should stay. Also, those that had a significant impact on the futures of the characters as we know them, like the owner of the travel boutique or the funeral directors, should also be seriously be considered as worthy of inclusion. But every murder victim and every killer, I agree that's just overkill and will become unweildy as the show continues into multiple seasons. Nolefan32 (talk) 15:10, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. –thedemonhog talk • edits 00:29, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm in agreement—but I'm afraid of being reverted as soon as I make changes. Could other people comment here so we can try to reach a general consensus before deleting anything? Mr. Absurd (talk) 19:51, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
