Giant list that cites only credits for the show itself. This is a list for the sake of having a list, not because the list is notable. This is material that's fine on a fan-wiki, but not here. In other words, this is WP:FANCRUFT. Fails WP:LISTN, with a total lack of independent, reliable sources that discuss this grouping.

If any of these guest appearances are notable, they can discussed on the page for ATHF, or on the actor's biography pages. That is, if there are third party sources for that. Harizotoh9 (talk) 03:17, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete- yes, I agree that this poorly sourced and overly intricate content is more suitable for Wikia than here. Reyk _YO! 09:23, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - This is not a case of having a "list for the sake of having a list". Lists of guest appearances in TV quite common, which is why we have Category:Lists of guest appearances in television. A general clean-up and better sourcing is very much feasible to help improve the list. Grapesoda22 (✉) 02:33, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Excessive detail. WP:FANCRUFT. --wooden superman 12:25, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Lists of appearances is quite common and it is not actually near WP:FANCRUFT, at least we need clean up. Sheldybett (talk) 10:15, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, you're refering to WP:OTHERTHINGS, which is an argument to avoid. Maybe those lists themselves are not notable? Maybe the idea that every series should get a "list of guest stars" list wrong? The main issue is that is this concept itself notable enough for a list? It's not reallynotable outside the show. That's why it'll be covered in the pages for the show or episodes. You need third party sources for that. And saying that these pages need "clean-up" is vague cover. What does that mean? Cleanup should mean trimming primary sources and using third party sources, but few of those exist for this. Harizotoh9 (talk) 19:35, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - pure and simple fancruft. Both of the keep !votes above are simple WP:OSE, and should be avoided. And perhaps those other worthless lists also need to be looked at for deletion. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 14:45, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Per Onel5969. This article is just WP:FANCRUFT that belongs on a fan website, not Wikipedia. Newshunter12 (talk) 22:00, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
