The Big Bang Theory was nominated as a Media and drama good article, but it did not meet the good article criteria at the time (December 15, 2017). There are suggestions on the review page for improving the article. If you can improve it, please do; it may then be renominated. |
To view an answer, click the [show] link to the right of the question. Q1: Why is Sara Gilbert, who portrayed Leslie Winkle, still listed in a starring role, even though she left the series in season 3?
A1: Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Television#Cast and characters information states, "The cast should be organized according to the series original broadcast credits, with new cast members being added to the end of the list. Please keep in mind that "main" cast status is determined by the series producers, not by popularity or screen time. Furthermore, articles should reflect the entire history of a series, and as such actors remain on the list even after their departure from the series."
Q2: Why is this article here? It's not the primary topic so it should be at The Big Bang Theory (TV series), or somewhere else, and this article should be about the cosmological model called the Big Bang.
A2: There have been several lengthy page move discussions with none reaching a consensus that this is not the primary topic. For more information, please see the discussions listed below:
