Talk:List of Cluedo characters

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article was nominated for deletion on July 23, 2006. The result of the discussion was keep.

This is EXCEPTIONALLY confusing. Not only is it worded badly and contradicts itself, it speaks in the first person, never distinguishes its sources and is all around a bad piece of work. Perhaps each character's representation could be split up, one description of their movie representation, one from board game 'cannon', etc? I'm not entirely sure how to go about this, though the article's current state simply won't do.

Anyone else interested in helping with this? --Alex 18:58, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it's really exceptionally poor. Unfortunately, I've never read the books, seen the movie, or even played the game, so I can't help. I found some duplicate material at Clue (book series) and added merge tags. It should not be merged until after the AfD is over, though.--Srleffler 02:54, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

I've seen the movie and played the game, but never read the books. I'm afraid that, if what little I gather from this article is correct, the differences between character versions may be so unreconcileable as to make a single article encompassing all of them impossible. Perhaps the most frustrating thing is that I can't decide if it truely needs an article in the first place, seeing as the characters don't seem to be the same from version to version. --Alex 12:57, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Merging the book series character decriptions would only make things more confusing, I think. I've read the books, seen the films, TV series, etc. Though because of that I can understand the article, I agree it needs a bit of re-editing. Even then, each season of the TV series, the character backstories changed, which adds even more trouble for whomever edits it. Chasektn 05:52, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

I tried to clean up the sections and my edits were marked as vandalism, although personally, I think they were anything but. caw292 10:43, 07 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mr. Green redirect

I don't want to mess with a redirect page, but the page redirects here. It would be preferable to have a disambiguation page listing other uses of "Mr. Green" (for example, SoBe's now-discontinued ginseng soda, which used to have its own article, I think). I know that Clue's use of the name is the "original" and probably most recognizable, but it needs to coexist with other uses as well. Edwin Herdman (talk) 02:45, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
