Guidelines
Q1: Should One-off characters be listed?
A1: Please follow these guidelines with characters:

1. 99% of all celebrity appearances are non-canon and should not be inlcuded in the recurring character article. (Possible exceptions: James Woods, Michael Eisner)

2. All unnamed characters should not be included in recurring article. (Possible Exceptions: Judge)

3. All characters appearing in cutaway jokes should not be included in the recurring articles. (Exceptions: The Evil Monkey rule: Any cutaway character who makes three appearances or more can be safely counted as a character. However, such an addition should be discussed on the talk page regardless.)

4. All characters who are central characters in the storyline of a single episode but do not make any more appearances should not be inlcuded in the recurring character article. (Examples: Nigel the British pub owner, Ronaldo Peter's Mexican friend)

5. All characters who are central characters in the storyline of two or more episodes should be included in the recurring character article.

6. All one-time and cut-away family members who have an episode or are a central part of a storyline devoted to them should not be considered characters. (Examples: Mickey McFinnigan, Lois Laura Bush Lynne Cheney Pewterschmidt, Peter's many ancestors
