[edit] To early to name?

Like Locke, he may go by his last name instead of his first. Think we should wait until Confirmed Dead to put him in the LOST box at the bottom of the screen. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.19.131.166 (talk • contribs) 06:20, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

He may end up going by Faraday, but it is better to have a link than no link at all to him in the Lost navigational template. –thedemonhog talk • edits 06:29, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

In a Lost promo for Confirmed Dead, either Jack or Kate call him "Daniel". I think it's pretty safe to bet that the majority will be referring to him the same way. Zeldanum1 17:44, 6 February 2008 AEST —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.168.18.201 (talk)

Why does he even have his own article, anyway? Naomi was a more important character, and she doesn't have one. 209.147.114.202 (talk) 14:34, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Davies has been promoted to the main cast so his character will be significantly expanded, but Naomi is dead and there is not enough information on her to create an article. –thedemonhog talk • edits 18:33, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Can we rename his template name to be Faraday instead of Daniel? They're calling him Faraday more frequently now, and not just with Charlotte's last name, but like "Faraday and Charlotte". Besides, there is obviously a philosopher connection to the name, as there is to Locke, and when casting went around, the first name wasn't even Daniel. This should illustrate that the more important name of the two is Faraday. And the fact the producers refer to him solely as Faraday when speaking in reference.

[edit] Re-writing Fictional Character Biography

I wrote the biography as it is now, but I feel that the last 3 paragraphs stretch for far too long considering it's only about one episode. Anyone care to rewrite it? zeldanum1 February 09, 2008 10:48 AEST —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.168.116.95 (talk) 23:48, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Sure. –thedemonhog talk • edits 00:12, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Memory Problems?

Does he actually have memory problems, or is it him just being kind of an odd guy to begin with? And with the end of the Constant, is it possible that Daniel has been flipping between time periods as well? 76.248.153.9 (talk) 03:14, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

• I don't think he's been flipping through time periods as well, but it's certainly possible. In my opinion, all that diary note at the end of the episode showed us was that Desmond actually DID visit Daniel in 1996. As for the memory problems, I think that should be left out of the article as it's only speculation. zeldanum1 March 01, 2008 AEST

• The show hints that Desmond may have time switches too. The crew member that took the phone from Desmond said that "Faraday couldn't even help himself." insinuating that there is something wrong with Faraday. This may end up being a red herring or a major plot point. Either way, it is unconformable until more episodes are shown. USS Stingray (talk) 06:18, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Name Origin

Danny boy is definitely named after Michael Faraday, the scientist in the field of electromagnetics (pun intended). However I'm not sure where to mention this; it would be a bit strange to put in his opening paragraph. Does he need another section? "Miscellaneous" or "Trivia"? NickRinger (talk) 06:23, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

In the future, it should go in some sort of a behind the scenes section. For now, a mention in the lead is fine. –thedemonhog talk • edits 07:33, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
