I created an article for Los Pollos Hermanos, since there's been real-life LPH restaurants as well. —Prisencolin (talk · contribs) 20:53, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
Is this a "neo western"?
[edit]Ninety percent of this is Walter White at school, Walter White at home, Walter White drives his car somewhere. It hardly seems to be a "neo western" as in a latter-day version of Shane or Fistful of Dollars. Mains Olsen (talk) 10:21, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
- I'm not sure you really watched the show. Those are pretty hyperbolic assertions of the show. You need to present a much more detailed analysis and supply much more actual evidence that contradicts the show's label as a "neo-western". Assertions like "Ninety percent of this..." isn't reliable information to go by in changing a key piece of the article's information. Provide more evidence and specificity. 168.26.153.205 (talk) 17:19, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
- There should be evidence provided for the assertion it is a neo-western for it to be in the article in the first place. Otherwise, how can one provide critique. ~2025-42747-53 (talk) 16:05, 24 December 2025 (UTC)
Pages for Todd and Lydia?
[edit]Every other main character from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul has their own dedicated Wikipedia page, other than Todd Alquist and Lydia Rodarte-Quayle. Given that they have main cast billing like everyone else who has a page and are decently important to the story's developments, I think they should have pages of their own. That being said, I don't want to go and make one without consulting other Wikipedians first. 109.234.179.37 (talk) 19:25, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
- We need significant development and/or reception jnformation about them...just have starring positions doesn't assure that. Masem (t) 20:23, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

[edit]This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
In the 4th paragraph of the "Casting" section:
"RJ Mitte, who has a milder form of cerebral palsy than Walter White Jr."
The word "has" should be changed to "had", in light of RJ Mitte's passing. Pristinox (talk) 09:01, 19 October 2026 (UTC)
