Deletion[]
I want to consider this category for deletion. It's scope is too wide and we have no definition as to what a convict is. For instance, Deirdre Barlow is listed on the page but although she spent a short period in jail, she was later proved innocent. Emily Bishop on the other hand was convicted on driving the wrong way down a one-way street in April 1965 and fined £5. She therefore is a convict as she has a "conviction" but would we seriously include her on this list? If we do, based on the storylines over the years almost all residents have incurred minor fines of some nature - are they convicts? I suggest deletion.--Jtomlin1uk (talk) 17:33, September 26, 2014 (UTC)
- It's problematic, I agree, but having a list of characters who have been in prison for a crime they committed is useful. Perhaps another category to replace it? David (talk) 11:49, September 28, 2014 (UTC)
- Prisoners and/or ex-prisoners is too unwieldy. Perhaps a note on the category page which states that's it's limited to people who have spent time in jail for acts they were found guilty for and served their time. That excludes Deirdre and Tracy but includes Ray and Ken.--Jtomlin1uk (talk) 15:20, September 28, 2014 (UTC)

- It’s like with Anne Foster - if it hasn’t been specifically said that they’ve been set to prison then it can’t be applied to the pages. If it was mentioned that Will got 1 year then it would be acceptable to add (with an episode reference). Xx-connor-xX (talk) 05:43, July 20, 2019 (UTC)
