List of characters in The Simpsons

I feel this list meets all FL criteria.Tj terrorible1 (talk) 19:02, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Oppose No sources for the first appearances. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 19:04, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Oppose - Great to see it with no one-timers and in a nice single table. However, a lack of first appearance sources is a problem. Also, are we sure every recurring character is listed? And is the external link to a German Simpsons Wiki really needed? Gran² 19:13, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Oppose - Nice work, but it needs more sources. Also, I think it would be better if there was just one big sortable table, like this. TheLeftorium 20:08, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Oppose - Overall, a basic "okay" list, but it needs an expanded lead/prose and needs more references to reliable sources to verify the first appearances.--^SR_X 01:03, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Oppose - Per all above and I truly believe that this list is very incomplete. I saw more than 1000 (or even more) characters in The Simpsons Movie. -- K. Annoyomous24_[c] 01:42, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

To be fair the objective of the list is not to list every background character ever produced on the Simpsons. Such a list would be indiscrimate information. --Maitch (talk) 07:51, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Comment - It is great to these improvements to the list. It is much better than it used to be. Here is what I think needs to done. It needs more citations (I know this one is hard). Some characters have not listed their first episode. This should be fixed. The voice actors should be sortable by their last name like the characters. --Maitch (talk) 07:51, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

I would like to add that it would be great if the list could be sortable in the order of first appearence. --Maitch (talk) 10:54, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

That one is easy. Just add {{sort|[enter season #][Enter Episode #]|[Enter episode name]}}. Or alternatively, you could show the episode number, ie. "0101 - "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire"" -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 14:17, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Oppose - The main issues being the lack of sources for first appearances, three entries without first appearances and that voice actors don't sort by surname. Sorry, Rambo's Revenge (talk) 11:09, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
