Indeed. This strikes me as potentially far too large a category to be worthwhile. What do you do to have to get in, does a character have to be referred to only once in a novel as Mrs/Miss/Ms So-and-so? PatGallacher 01:13, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
- Similarly with Category:Fictional Misters too. The query for that one shows there's a lot. *shrug* There are a variety of cutoffs one could use:
- There are some Misters which are simply the work's title (Mister Ed, Mr. Bean)
- There are some Misters whose name is part of the work's title (The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde)
- There are some works that are named Mister, but are a more oblique reference to a character (Mr. Deeds, Mr. Mom)
- There are characters who either don't have a first name, or are never refered to by their first name in the work's dialog (Mr. Potato Head)
- There are characters who do have a first name, but are refered to as Mister the majority of the time (Mr. Garrison (for a few seasons at least), Mr. Miyagi)
- There are there are characters who are occasionally called Mister but who often are called by their first name as well (Mr. Burns)
- I was using #5 personally. Would any of these be acceptable to you guys? --Interiot 01:28, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

See this query on the toolserver, created for this category. It should be updated near-real-time. --Interiot 01:01, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
