Forum:What counts as a name

I know there has been a debate on this at Talk:Alpha 7, but I'd like to clear up exactly what we classing as a name for the purposes of creating articles/unnamed characters. I don't particularly follow the logic on that linked talk page, and don't agree that there is such a difference between a police call sign and a conspirator's codename that we would treat them differently, but even if there was I still see inconsistencies -


 * I see no absolutely no difference between Cabal 5 and Alpha 7, yet one is unnamed and the other is not;
 * Again, I don't see the distinction between Agents Dos and Ocho, and officer 1-M-38 yet again we have treated them differently.

I feel like we should make a decision to either give all these characters articles, or treat them all as unnamed.--Acer4666 (talk) 18:44, January 23, 2016 (UTC)
