Forum: The Situation Room > Cheng shooter who killed Audrey
I know they are rules about unnamed characters, but we should make one exception since Cheng's shooter was the one who killed Audrey in LAD, which is kind of important to the plot. So it is pretty important issue to discuss. BattleshipMan (talk) 15:18, March 28, 2015 (UTC)
- I concur that this should be an exception given how this is a key impact in the plot regardless of the character not uttering any audible dialogue. I've had this same issue with key characters and how a simple painful moan or other last-minute yelp doesn't qualify either.--Gunman6 (talk) 18:29, March 28, 2015 (UTC)
- There are no exceptions made to policies - if an uncredited, no dialogue character is included then there is nothing to stop every extra and minor backgroud nobody being listed. We have a rule about this and exceptions are not made. It's exactly why Blue Rook started up a personal project page listing forbidden characters he deemed important. How important characters are is always a matter of personal opinion, so a personal project page is the perfect (and only) place they can be listed. Let me know if you need help setting up a page similar to Blue Rook's--Acer4666 (talk) 17:19, April 6, 2015 (UTC)
- Noted on the personal project page by Blue Rook. But the issue is that the assassin who has no dialogue killed Audrey, who was one of the main character in LAD and that's why it should be discussed. BattleshipMan (talk) 17:39, April 6, 2015 (UTC)
- Random unnamed assassins picking off major characters is a constant theme in 24. Scott Baylor, Richard Walsh, Robert Ellis, Jonathan Wallace, Peter Kingsley, Claudia Hernandez, Diana White, Omar, Henry Powell, Dina Araz, Koo Yin, James Nathanson, Sarah, Nabeel, etc etc, were all killed by "forbidden" characters. Like, they have varying degrees of importance, so it's a slippery slope to start including some of their killers based on arbitrary criteria of relative importance of the victim. You're free to "discuss" it as much as you like, but not make a character entry on the mainspace articles--Acer4666 (talk) 18:07, April 6, 2015 (UTC)
