Claims of "cameos"

edit

A cameo role is "a small character part in a play or movie, played by a distinguished actor or a celebrity."

An anonymous editor believes there are "silent cameo" roles in this animated film.

First, you boldly added the claim. I disagreed and reverted the addition. The next step should be to discuss the issue. We call that the Bold-revert-discuss cycle, "BRD" for short. It helps prevent simple disagreements from turning into edit wars.

Here is a summary of the problem: The celebrities here do not have parts in this movie. They do not appear in it and, as they are "silent" they aren't providing a small voice role either. Using your understanding, Julius Ceasar could have a "cameo" in this film.

The "Fourth Doctor" is neither a distinguished actor nor a celebrity. He is a fictional character.

If there are characters appearing in the film meant to be the Doctor or Brian Cox, the question shifts to more of a "so what" kind of question. They certainly don't belong in the cast section as neither "person" was cast in a role here. They likely play a trivial role in the plot and don't belong there. They would, at this point, seem to be a passing detail. Doctor Who fans might care and Cox's fans might as well. Wikipedia, however, is written for general readers, not niche groups of fans.

If independent reliable sources discussing the film were discussing them, you might have something for this article. If sources discussing Doctor Who or Cox discuss it, they might belong in those articles. - SummerPhDv2.0 02:53, 15 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
