Deletion

  • Delete: This is a very trivial article and its about someone who was mentioned in passing by Tom Brennan, simply as "Thanks Adam. Bye" on a phone. Do we need this? --Nickb123 (Talk) 15:24, 11 July 2006 (PDT)
  • Delete--CaptainInsano
  • abstain-- As an example of what other wikis do, check out lost.wikia's Unseen Characters category, which includes Adam. After all we have articles on background extras who happened to be trivially called by name once, like Craig, who is far less important to the plot-- this Adam actually helped reschedule some MRIs so Kate could see her mom. Another reason to keep is that it just irks me somehow that other wikis have an article that we do not (see Adam in the unseen characters list above). However, I won't object to a deletion as he is indeed an unseen character (but so is Radzinsky. However I do firmly believe that Lostpedia should include all seen characters in the credits who actually have lines, and we are missing quite a few of those (nurses, ticket agents, etc.).-- C¯ _Santa_ ¯T12:56, 13 July 2006 (PDT)
  • Keep as per Santa's reason to keep. --Aero*Zeppelin 17:36, 14 July 2006 (PDT)

Question

Now I need everyone's opinion on this; The wiki controlled by the Others has articles on minor and single frame characters. We are not obligued to do the same. I feel it is useless to have an article about The guy whose son wanted to go to the bathroom real badly and ended up costing Jin his work as a doorman. (BTW, do we have an entry on the guy who Jin beat up instead of killing? or his wife and daughter for that matter?) Do we want to do that? --†††GodEmperorOfHell††† 18:20, 16 July 2006 (PDT)

  • Thinking about it more, I propose that the threshold be whether the actors are billed as guest stars in the credits. In that case, I believe Adam would be deleted (I haven't checked the credits yet, I will later), but the guy who wanted to pee should have an article, but his son (I don't think is credited, will check) should not. Only in extraordinary cases (should be obvious) should extras who are not credited (The DeGroots) or do not even appear (Radzinsky, and formerly Kelvin) have articles. After all, we list these guest articles in the episode summaries. All IMHO, it certainly is worth talking about. The guest billing criterion is something I feel better than the "this other wikis has an article". C¯ _Santa_ ¯T18:27, 16 July 2006 (PDT)
  • I agree, delete this article, Its completely pointless and of no use to anyone.Thunderous503, 12.24, 15 August 2005
