Some Terraria NPCs never moved in

I have a decent base with plenty of houses but I am still missing a few NPCs, I think the Witch Doctor and the Steampunker. Is there a checklist of what each one needs to show up?

Check the housing first, that's most of it. Open the housing menu (the little house icon on the inventory screen) and use the query flag on the room, it tells you what's missing. Usually it's a light source, a chair, a table or a door, or the room is too small or missing background walls. After that it's the NPC's own condition. Some only arrive after a certain boss, and the goblin tinkerer and the mechanic have to be found and rescued first. Houses sitting in corruption or crimson won't count either.
