Forum: The Situation Room > Press releases as canon


As this has come up with Phillips (Day 8) and Craig Erwich and probably others, I wanted to get answer on whether or not the official fox press releases should be added to the list of oou-sources where we can get new character names. It was brought up before at User talk:Rebel2477, but never resolved into the canon policy. 24 spoilers, an excellent 24 fansite, has got quite a few of them posted on their site. I'd be in favour of them as they are official and from fox. Anyone else agree/disagree?--Acer4666 12:03, September 7, 2011 (UTC)

I know, that is an issue I thought of, but it's about as reliable as online scripts etc. I plan to contact the person in charge of 24 spoilers to find out where the fox releases came from (perhaps we can verify with a wayback machine if they came off the website or something).
As for how many, hard to say because I think they are generally on season 7 and 8 which I don't have on dvd (to verify no other source for the name). user:tiredalex added a few s8 ones, and there's Nick Coughlin, but I'm not sure if they were later mentioned during the episodes.--Acer4666 16:35, September 7, 2011 (UTC)
