Talk:Brain

Ah, so you succumbed to the pressure from Wikipedians to having brain "being it's own article", eh? Hehe ... - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 18:25, 8 January 2007 (EST)

• Essentially. Might as well take away their causes for complaint. --Ted C 09:16, 9 January 2007 (EST)

Brain Removal Removal

I kinda thought the purpose of having an article about the brain is to mention its references. I wouldn't really care about the few references mentioned in the article if it weren't for all the brain removal going on. I think those mentions are pretty important in the article. When I wrote them, I tried to keep them as spare as possible - basically "so and so lost their brain", "Sylar tried to take this brain and that", without going into a lot of extra details. I'd like to see those brain removal instances back in, since they really are references to the brain. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 13:40, 9 January 2007 (EST)

• I don't have a strong objection, but I'd prefer to keep this article to "what we know about the brain and its connection to superhuman powers". Since we have a separate article dedicated to brain removal, it seems redundant to discuss brain removal at length on this page. --Ted C 14:03, 9 January 2007 (EST)
  • A possible compromise would be simply a note about brain removal in general, a bare list of victims, and a link to Brain removal. That way, the refs are still here, but the article is mostly about brains as the source of powers. And after all, brains as the source of powers is the whole reason behind brain removal...--Hardvice (talk) 14:12, 9 January 2007 (EST)
    • There are at least two links to Brain Removal on the page already. --Ted C 14:18, 9 January 2007 (EST)
    • I've added several references to brain removal victims in the notes. Would that be sufficient? --Ted C 14:26, 9 January 2007 (EST)
      • Actually, I reread the article after my comment and I tend to agree with you that brain removal was already pretty well covered. That said, the expanded note works pretty well, too.--Hardvice (talk) 14:28, 9 January 2007 (EST)

Niki/Jessica

Would it be worth mentioning the fact that Jessica has a power while Niki doesn't supports the "brain origin" theory? This disparity is only plausible if Jessica's strength originates in the brain, not the muscles. --Ted C 15:08, 9 January 2007 (EST)
