Naming a character

There is no guideline or policy about naming an article about a fictional character. See the essay Wikipedia:Naming character articles.

People working in television

Actors, producers, writers etc. are all real people. Turn to WikiProject Biography for help on writing such articles. Here are some quick guidelines and tips for you however.

Notability (people)
Biographies of living persons
Manual of Style/Biography
WikiProject Screenwriters – project dedicated to screenwriters.

Images

Fair Use images on pages of real people that are still alive are not allowed, because these images are replaceable. You also cannot use an image from a television program, etc., because you are not illustrating the character but the actor.
