Talk:List of Sherlock characters

Unhelpful all around

This page is more of a chronological recounting of events with references to character, as opposed to the ideal form of a character information sheet replete with personality, history, & al. --Northerlywind (talk) 00:04, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

And it's only gotten worse in the intervening 4.5 years; in a thread below I've laid out some of the programmatic faults in it.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼  19:37, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Lestrade

In "The Hounds of Baskerville" it is stated that Lestrade's first name is Greg, perhaps an oblique reference to Inspector Gregson in the original stories. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.197.38.65 (talk) 22:13, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Many of the characters listed do not represent the actual characters in the stories by Conan Doyle but are rather television/movie characters that have nothing to do with the actual characters in the stories. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.22.13.38 (talk) 00:37, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Project H.O.U.N.D

I think I'm right about this gas thing inducing fear and stupor; 'stimulus', as previously, seems to be autocorrect-induced typo.BirgittaMTh (talk) 10:58, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Cast Table

In The Abominable Bride, Irene Adler appears in the initial flashback; furthermore she can be seen as a cameo and all of her vicissitudes with Sherlock get quickly mentioned; therefore, I think that this character shoud be listed as "Guest" in The Abominable Bride's column.

In The Abominable Bride, Charles Magnussen appears in the initial flashback; therefore, I think that this character should be listed as "Guest" in The Abominable Bride's column.

In Season 4, Andrew Scott as Moriarty will definitely be somehow back, so he should be at least referred as "Guest" in the season column. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flo19 (talk • contribs) 19:15, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Fan-gushing firehose of original-research pontification and unsourced trivia

This article is overflowing with a torrent of unsourced supposition, personal opinion, and novel hypothesizing and analysis. At least a good 30% of it should be trimmed. And some of these paragraphs are three times as long as necessary, because they're full of detailed recitation of trivia no one cares about (or, so out-of-context, will even understand) but the show's dedicated fans. This reads like a mixture of something written for the Sherlock wiki at Wikia, and for a freshman-level media studies class (i.e., it has a "book report" tone on top of the fan-gushing). I did a small amount of cleanup on the first part of the section on the main character, but just kind of gave up after that. I'm tempted to suggest a clean slate, since virtually nothing in here is sourced.

It also has innumerable style problems, and needs to comply with MOS:FIC, MOS:LQ, MOS:DASH, MOS:QUOTE, MOS:TITLE, and the rest of WP:MOS, aside from all the core content policy problems identified above.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼  19:34, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Using "Sherlock" for Sherlock, and "John" for Watson is one of them. Creuzbourg (talk) 17:30, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

Sherlock's childhood

It says that Eurus murdered Sherlock's childhood best friend, Victor Trevor, when she actually murders Sherlock's dog, Redbeard. She sings a nursery rhyme ending with: 6 by 16/and under we gi 31.125.97.59 (talk) 18:55, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

Eurus did kill Victor Trevor. Sherlock rewrote his own memory to protect himself. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 19:39, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

Yes thank you. I love dogs, so maybe I accidentally rewrote my own memory! ThisPurpleOne (talk) 18:04, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
