I'm all in favor of this article, and I'm glad you're working on it. In the past, an article about [[Paul E. Sylar]] has been written and deleted (more than once) because it was pure speculation based on a birth certificate barely shown in a promotional image from NBC. However, since the [[unaired pilot]] showed this Paul E. Sylar guy to be a living, breathing man (and not just a name on a piece of paper, or even a voice on a message), he's just as legitimate a candidate for an article as [[Amid Halebi]] or [[Captain Chase]].<p>I'd still be very careful about speculation in this article, though. For instance, there's still no evidence that the picture of the altar boy that is hanging near the birth certificate is actually a picture of Paul E. Sylar, so I would remove it altogether. Also, Paul E. Sylar exists solely in the [[unaired pilot]], so there should be no mingling of information with the [[Sylar]] we all know and love. In other words, if you want this page moved to the mainspace, it would have to be simply a history of the guy Mohinder meets at the end of the unaired pilot, and nothing else. However, if you want to keep all the speculation and stuff that's here (you know, to preserve your theories and such), that's fine, but then it really can't be moved to [[Paul E. Sylar]]. Just an friendly FYI. :) -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 22:31, 5 September 2007 (EDT)

* I second that completely. Ever since seeing the unaired pilot I realized that we now had a good reason for a Paul E. Sylar article... we just didn't in the past because the only info we had on him was best suited as a production footnote on Sylar's article. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 22:42, 5 September 2007 (EDT))

** OK, based on yalls comments above, I would like to follow this approach. Tell me what you think. Make a 'lite-version' of the article, that only has non-spec info, and get yalls approval to move it to the mainspace; and then I will keep a more fuller, robust version in my userspace....with the hopes that some of that stuff eventually might pan out. If it never does, I'll eventually delete it myself. Sound like an OK plan? <small>--[[User:HiroDynoSlayer|HiroDynoSlayer]] ([[User talk:HiroDynoSlayer|talk]]) 09/6/2007 08:18 (EST)</small>

A note of history

I'm all in favor of this article, and I'm glad you're working on it. In the past, an article about Paul E. Sylar has been written and deleted (more than once) because it was pure speculation based on a birth certificate barely shown in a promotional image from NBC. However, since the unaired pilot showed this Paul E. Sylar guy to be a living, breathing man (and not just a name on a piece of paper, or even a voice on a message), he's just as legitimate a candidate for an article as Amid Halebi or Captain Chase.

I'd still be very careful about speculation in this article, though. For instance, there's still no evidence that the picture of the altar boy that is hanging near the birth certificate is actually a picture of Paul E. Sylar, so I would remove it altogether. Also, Paul E. Sylar exists solely in the unaired pilot, so there should be no mingling of information with the Sylar we all know and love. In other words, if you want this page moved to the mainspace, it would have to be simply a history of the guy Mohinder meets at the end of the unaired pilot, and nothing else. However, if you want to keep all the speculation and stuff that's here (you know, to preserve your theories and such), that's fine, but then it really can't be moved to Paul E. Sylar. Just an friendly FYI. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:31, 5 September 2007 (EDT)
