Jerry (Family Guy)[edit]

A Family Guy character so non-notable that he's never actually appeared on the show.

Another minor Family Guy who has only appeared in one episode. Consensus on Talk:List of characters in Family Guy is that single episode characters aren't notable for inclusion in List of characters in Family Guy, let alone their own article.

Delete but some comments first. To start, I do not see how one can say "no hope of sources" until one has examined every possible review & discussion of the series. Then, I think that every individual named character with a spoken part in a notable series is appropriate for a sentence in a combination article. But this depends on consensus, and, examining the talk page, I do not see the least consensus that such characters should be removed. In fact, examining the discussion in the talk p. Archive, I see that the point was never raised --except to say that there should be a separate list of one time characters. The discussion seemed to be more about which one time characters should not be in the main list of recurring characters & I think reached sensible guidelines about that. I suggest the nom re-read the discussion,; I'll assume he is making the common mistake of thinking that the established consensus happens to be the way he would like it to be personally. I read it as saying that most actual one time characters not in single cutaway gags do get mentioned.

That said, this character does not appear in the show, but is just referred to. It's not even a non-speaking character, it's a non-appearing character. That is below any possible inclusion outside of a fan wiki. This might well have been said explicitly, but I don't see how anyone could actually disagree. There is a limit to what should even be mentioned, and this is outside it. DGG (talk) 05:10, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
