There is too much speculation of specifically and accurately say that Nerus was actually killed.

[edit] Junior
Should we add Junior to this list, if only for consistency's sake? -- SFH 18:11, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
- you're right, and so i added him.... Maartentje 20:03, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
I removed him (Sorry). In a way, he wasn't even really "born" (Yes, I know he was born in the technical sense, but he was still maturing and in an incubator for his entire life), and he never did anything. It would kinda be like listing a fetus as a character. JBK405 20:35, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
- Well, he never took a host, but he did figure prominently into several Teal'c related storylines, such as Bane, Threshold, The Changeling. He could just go into the list of minor Goa'uld at the bottom. I just think that he had some relevance. Even Gateworld's omnipedia has an entry for him/her/it. -- SFH 21:29, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
I get what you're saying, and I think it's right on the edge of In/Out, but in my personal opinion he's still on the wrong side of the line. Still, if you add him back I won't take him away again, my own views aren't strong enough to warrant a revert-war; I'll accept whatever the other editors decide. JBK405 22:14, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
The first episode Junior appears in is NOT episode 2 (The Enemy Within). That symbiote went into Rya'c. The real Junior is the one gotten from the tank on Chulak in Bloodlines. 89.120.193.125 18:40, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Svarog
I'm not 100% sure, but I think he did appear on screen. I've been searching for then name of the actor, but I can't find it. If anyone can, please add it. - ThePoorGuy 13:40, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
- Don't think so. All we heard was his large, overly melodramatic voice booming down his commands when he came to conquer the Latonans. JBK405 20:43, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
- He did appear in Season 5's Summit and Last Stand[1]. I remember seeing him. On Gateworld, they have a picture of him, but no name[2]. The voice heard in The Sentinel was that of Peter DeLuise[3]. ThePoorGuy 09:39, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Spelling
Why are we using the character spelling from Gateworld, a fan site, instead of the spelling that appears in the episode credits, Official Website, and the distributor's website ? 24.97.182.82 04:52, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Merger
All Goa'uld but Apophis (Stargate), Anubis (Stargate), Ba'al (Stargate) and Ra (Stargate) were merged into this list (which still needs to be trimmed per WP:NOT#PLOT and Wikipedia:WAF#Notability_and_undue_weight) because they don't satisfy WP:FICT, which is necessary to have them have their own article. I further believe merging the last four Goa'uld is the easiest way to go get them inline with WP:FICT. The other option is for someone to find conception, production and reception information and add that to the articles so that they can stand on their own per WP:FICT. Please be aware that this is not a discussion to determine if you like these four articles in their current form, but how you are willing to help improvement (both trimming&merging and encyclopedic expansion are improvement). If someone later wants to work on these articles, the page history allows the articles to be resurrected any time. I'm not in a hurry to merge these characters, but be aware that there is little to be gained by keeping the articles in their current state forever. Merge discussions usually last somewhere between a week and two months. – sgeureka t•c 23:06, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
I believe that merging these Goa'uld would be a bad idea. Ba'al, Ra, Apophis and Anubis are all major villains in the series worthy of note. Perhaps Ra could be merged, but the other 3 are as major from a character stance as Jonas Quinn, quite arguably more so. The real life relevance could be explained by the character's impacts on the show's ratings? 70.255.191.80 (talk) 03:37, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- No addition of any kind of real-world information to any of the four articles in almost four weeks, which thus still fail WP:NOT#PLOT. I am therefore performing a trim (because of WP:NOT#PLOT, instead linking to wikia) and merge (per WP:FICT). Editors wishing to bring the articles back should add significant amount of real-world information as outlined in WP:WAF; the plot should be kept short accordingly. I am expressedly not ignoring 70.255.191.80 and User:SFH here, but am editing in line with policies and guidelines. Unexplained full-reverts of the mergers will be reverted as they are in ignorance of policies and guidelines and this discussion. I'll try to answer questions if they come up (I have this page watchlisted, but I can also be contacted via my talkpage.) – sgeureka t•c 12:20, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
