Talk:Future terrorist's ability

--Ted C 12:43, 9 October 2008 (EDT)==Why delete?== It's a new power. Why not leave it in the catalog? We have info on when, who, and where it was manifested. Imo, it should be kept and catalogued. No harm in keeping it. --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 10/8/2008 10:51 (EST)

• I agree it shouldn't get deleted, but then shouldn't we just call it "energy emission" and add Future Ando as a user? Or since we're waiting for more info. on Future Ando's ability, this should probably be called "The Terrorist's ability", imho.--MiamiVolts (talk) 11:03, 8 October 2008 (EDT)
  • All I think it needs is a new picture.--Skywalkerrbf 11:21, 8 October 2008 (EDT)
    • It's the same shade of green that Ted's radiation powers were colored in graphic novels before, so he could have been firing a beam of radiation at the ceiling. All in all, since the ability itself is not refered to anywhere, we shouldnt give it a page, but make a note of it in the unconfirmed section. --Piemanmoo 17:53, 8 October 2008 (EDT)
      • The problem is that it is not unconfirmed: we saw he using it. But I agree that it would be a little awkward to have this page: "The terrorist's ability is an unknown ability to fire an unknown beam of green energy with unknown effects."--Referos 20:15, 8 October 2008 (EDT)
        • Don't forget: "The unknown terrorist's ability is an unknown ability to fire an unknown beam of green energy with unknown effects. Unfortunately he died before we could learn anything more about it." It's a cool little Easter Egg, but I don't think it needs a page of its own. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 21:19, 8 October 2008 (EDT)
• I think it should be deleted. We don't know who the guy is (some dead terrorist?), and we know virtually nothing about the power. There is harm in keeping it--it's speculation. If we want to catalog the power, we can do so on the list of abilities. We don't need an entire page for this. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 18:48, 8 October 2008 (EDT)
• Keep and call it Lightsaber generation! xD Psilaq Remake 21:05, 8 October 2008 (EDT)
  • I'm in the "delete" camp. I don't think a power for which we have no significant data rates a page. As likely as not, it's just a different visual effect for a power that's already documented.
  • The policy has been that demonstrated abilities get their own pages, so this shouldn't be deleted. We've had other graphic novel characters where their ability is only shown in one graphic novel, not named, and we still gave it its own page. Ryan is right, though, that we shouldn't speculate, and so I agree in renaming this to "The terrorist's ability".--MiamiVolts (talk) 23:20, 8 October 2008 (EDT)
    • Where is that policy? I've never seen a policy that demonstrated abilities get their own pages. Perhaps there's a guideline that unseen abilities usually don't get their abilities, but I know of no policy saying that if an ability is demonstrated it should get its own page. I think this ability would be better suited to an entry in the list of abilities, not as a page of its own. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 23:36, 8 October 2008 (EDT)
      • Personally, I think if this goes, Ando's should go. We don't know much about it and are likely not to see it again.--Riddler 01:14, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

Remember that Guyanan fella? In order to document his ability on the evolved humans page, I uploaded this image and linked to it in the ability column of that page as "Unidentified." Might a similar procedure be appropriate here? --SacValleyDweller (talk) 01:21, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

• • • Miami, you said "policy"... did you mean "precedent?" If so it may help to point out specific precedents. (Admin 01:54, 9 October 2008 (EDT))
• This should be kept. We have seen this power and the person is not dead get in the present time line so they could pop up any day :) --Skywalkerrbf 03:05, 9 October 2008 (EDT)
• Sorry for making such a controversial article, I just thought it would be good to catalog since it's obviously an ability. I don't think it should be deleted, however, I understand some members' arguments about this being speculation, since the ability could just have easily been "Colored Energy Emission" or "Focused Luminescence".
