Concerns

Currently, this article fails WP:NOT#PLOT, since it is mostly plot summary without real-world context or importance, and WP:FICT, since reliable secondary sources are not provided to establish notability. If the article is not improved, I am going to nominate it for deletion. Doctorfluffy (talk) 19:42, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is a second notification as nothing has been done to fix the article in over a month. I am going to nominate this article in one week if no improvements are made. Doctorfluffy (talk) 21:04, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It would appear that this article is no longer a candidate for deletion given that the debate regarding deletion has been archived. SpikeToronto (talk) 21:20, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I haven't commented on a wikipedia article before, but "Royston Cropper is the main protagonist in Coronation Street" is simply wrong. Coronation Street is a soap opera with about 100 speaking roles at any given time. Roy might be considered one of the top 20 characters, but I would suggest deleting the entire sentence.58.175.211.8 (talk) 08:41, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

agreed, I removed.GunGagdin ^Moan 13:02, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Really a woman

"There were initial criticisms about the storyline and the character of Hayley from the transgender community in the UK, mainly because the actress who played Hayley was really a woman, and not a real trans person."

I removed the bit about her really being a woman, as I felt it could be construed as implying transsexual women aren't really women and so rather offensive to some. I believe the objections of the transgender community are made clear enough in the "not a real trans person" bit. Stassa (talk) 10:54, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Phrasing of suicide

I have a concern that the phrase "committed suicide" is used during a description of the death of Roy's wife Hayley. Given that the storyline was regarding a person's right to die on their own terms, would the phrase "took her own life/had taken her own life" be preferable? As the phrase "committed suicide" is not used as widely now due to connotations of criminal behaviour . Channel65 (talk) 07:49, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
