[edit] Angela and Kaito

I moved Angela Petrelli and Kaito Nakamura from List of characters in Heroes to List of Heroes characters with special abilities as they do have special abilities, even if we do not know what they are. This seems like something that someone might revert without thinking about it, which is why I am bringing it up here. –thedemonhog talk • edits 22:31, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

I smell speculation and OR. QuasiAbstract (talk) 22:48, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
No powers revealed in the show. Maybe it was implied they have, maybe it wasn't. This TV series already tricked us many times. -- Magioladitis (talk) 23:05, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
There are citations. –thedemonhog talk • edits 23:10, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Are interviews cannon? -- Magioladitis (talk) 23:13, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Yes. –thedemonhog talk • edits 23:16, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
I disagree with this change. It is so speculative. I understand that they do indeed have powers based on interviews, however, the list says KNOWN super powers and angela and kaito have NO known powers. I think that change should be reverted until the powers become known. Since they have no known powers, they need to be reverted back to where they originally were. I understand that they have unspecified abilities, because I was the one who originally linked the interviews, but I still think they need to remain where they were until the power becomes KNOWN. they have no known powers and should not be included in the list.--Chrisisinchrist (talk) 19:37, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Since user:thedemonhog is the only user that supports this change, i reverted it back to the original state. thedemonhog is the only user who has supported this and therefore, it should have been discussed before the initial change was made.--Chrisisinchrist (talk) 19:43, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
The article is called "List of Heroes characters with special abilities" not "List of Heroes characters with confirmed specified special abilities". Now that there is an opposition to the change, input from other users is encouraged. –thedemonhog talk • edits 19:47, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia is about verifiability. If the information can be verified by a reliable source, then it can be included. If the information is verifiable, not original research, and is of a neutral point of view, it can be included. The information is not speculation, as the interview states that Kaito has an ability(I haven't listened through the interview supposedly about Angela. It's not even written as you have to read between the lines for the information, it states the fact. I don't particularly like adding them in until we know what abilities they have, but that's covered by WP:IDONTLIKEIT and is an invalid reason for not including the information. The only problem I have is that we have the non-main cast characters listed as "with powers, family members, other characters by season", but that's a different discussion.

[edit] Merge Graphic Novel characters

I revive a proposal I did 2 months ago. I think the table in the List of Heroes characters is enough and we may delete the section. For most of the characters there is too little to say. What do you think? -- Magioladitis (talk) 18:28, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Comment We have omitted many tv characters from the List of characters because the didn't appear a lot and we have a consensus in keeping all the tv characters with special abilities. This is understandable. But the vast majority of the characters in the novels has a little significance in the show. I agree that we have to keep a record of this character but right now we are facing the following situation: Or the description is short enough to fit in a line of a table or so detailed to be in fact a detailed description of the novel. -- Magioladitis (talk) 09:51, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Do not merge I agree NOT to merge the information. Graphic novel characters are important and the information should remain for those who want more information about those characters. whether minor or major, all graphic novel characters have had an impact in some way on the series or a main character. most of the graphic novel characters cross over into situation involving the main cast. I see nothing wrong with this page and do not support any removal or mergingof information.--ChrisisinChrist comments and complaints here! 17:46, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Every character has an impact but that doesn't imply that we have to describe in detail what he did in, let's say, 4 pages of a graphic novel. This is completely fancract. It reminds me Wikipedia:POKEMON. -- Magioladitis (talk) 23:15, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Brian

What happened to Brian, the guy who fixed the race for Nathan. I thought he, Kelly and one other guy shared a mention once, but now they're not here. Now that he's made an appearence in a graphic novel, he is more notable and should have a section. I mean, he had 5 or 6 appearences on Hana's site, the GN, and it looks like he might have a role soon, so he should be in here. BioYu-Gi! (talk) 17:45, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] evs dropper

Okay, here's a character who is essentially the next Hana, and has had more of an impact than say Unnamed Agent 1. He needs to be put in, but it is difficult to determine where he would go. Any ideas? BioYu-Gi! (talk) 00:58, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
