List of RoboCop actors

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Barely-discriminate non-notable list of people who have played a role in any of the RoboCop adaptations. Potential list includes hundreds of people. There is no real connection between an actor who played a bit part in RoboCop 2 and a an actor who voiced Concerned Woman #5 in the animated series. While a list of actors who played a particular part is relevant on the article describing that character, or a list of actors in a particular work is relevant on that page, this arbitrary list has no relevance. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 22:25, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - why Robocop? What's so notable about the actors in those particular movies/shows? Eddie.willers (talk) 23:18, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Orphaned article (a single inlink), unreferenced, unrelated list of names. Fails WP:NLIST. --Tgeairn (talk) 19:05, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - could it have merit as a comparison table of appearances/actor changes, like the one seen at List of Police Academy cast members (among other examples)? --Rob Sinden (talk) 11:21, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Possibly, but I don't think its really a fair comparison, as the Police Academy movies were produced as a series, and there is a lot of consistency in casting down the line. Several actors were in every or most-every movie, and the same actors even appeared in the live-action series, playing the same characters. RoboCop isn't a series but a franchise, and most main actors appear for only one or two productions. Even RoboCop (character) has 6 different actors between films, TV and animation. So, we could reformat and improve the article to appear like List of Police Academy cast members, but it would never be as relevant; it would still be a relatively unrelated list of people. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 22:09, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
