	I originally started to create this page under "Curandera", but was asked to put it here.

	I think "Curandera" is a better title for this character.

	For starters, there is no evidence that she has any healing ability.

	"Curandera" does NOT mean healer. Something like "witch doctor" or "faith healer" might be a better translation, and these carry connotations that simply "Healer" does not.

	I thus propose renaming the character "Curandera". [[User:Aapold\|Aapold]] 07:44, 3 October 2007 (EDT)
	* So if I understand correctly, she was credited as Healer but introduced herself as a curandera? All things considered it feels like curandera is a better description (read: article name) for this character and that "healer" was just the translated description for the woman. In the same way I think [[Bliss and horror]] is an interesting name for a power in that it preserves the cultural interpretation of these special abilities (versus Chandra/Mohinder's purely scientific interpretation) I think that calling her a curandera helps preserve the cultural subtleties between the term "curandera" and "healer", especially the ones pointed out by Aapold. I think it would be good to title the article curandera and then point "healer" to it instead of the other way around. ([[User:Admin\|Admin]] 08:49, 3 October 2007 (EDT))
	:*Definitely agree with Admin. Change to Curandera. This is a global show, and uses global terms. --[[User:Conspiracy Unit\|Conspiracy Unit]] 09:21, 3 October 2007 (EDT)
	:*Agreed. Healer should be a (disambig), with links to [[Linderman]] and/or [[healing\|Linderman's ability]], to [[regeneration]], and to [[Curandera]]. I certainly could confuse the three in a broad search.--[[User:Danielandthelions\|Danielandthelions]] 17:28, 3 October 2007 (EDT)
	:**That sound like the best approach. As I said before, my only concern with calling her ''curandera'' is that no-Spanish speakers might not know how to find her article, but a disambig handles that.--[[User:Hardvice\|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice\|(talk)]]</small> 17:34, 3 October 2007 (EDT)

I think "Curandera" is a better title for this character.

For starters, there is no evidience that she has any healing ability.

"Curandera" does NOT mean healer. Something like "witch doctor" or "faith healer" might be a better translation, and these carry connotations that simply "Healer" does not.
