Okay, what happened to the policy of only creating powers that were demonstrated in the iStory? --Radicell 20:27, 19 December 2009 (EST)

• I'm with you there. I like this power and all, but if it hasn't been demonstrated then it doesn't deserve a page. -Vampirate68 | Talk | Contribs | 20:59, 19 December 2009 (EST)
  • I agree. There was some discussion about this here. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 21:10, 19 December 2009 (EST)
    • I agree too that only demonstrated abilities of Heroes: Survival characters should be in the mainspace. However, I think this ability should be considered demonstrated because it's listed on a character confirmed to be maintained by the iStory writer and there are examples listed from John Mulligan's bio. Syn Anders's bio from Habbo was used to list examples for empathic manipulation when that ability was first listed. I see this as the same situation.--MiamiVolts (talk) 23:56, 19 December 2009 (EST)
      • So you're saying that the controller of the HSG character is a deciding factor. Personally I don't see why it would matter. I mean, examples of memory theft and silicon manipulation were also given in the bios of Miles Lecomte and Mykah. But those abilities don't have pages, since there weren't examples in the iStory. I don't see how John is different, aside from the fact that he is controlled by an iStory writer, which I don't believe should be considered when determining this. --Radicell 03:47, 20 December 2009 (EST)
        • Right, I'm saying just that--that I think the controller is what matters. In the Heroes: Survival game, Miles Lecomte and Mykah are characters controlled by fans (not the creators of the show/evolutions). Their game profiles are subject to change at any time without being vetted by a writer/producer, so we cannot know what part of that content has been vetted. That is why I believe we are limiting such content to what appears in the iStory. Mulligan's page we know has been written by the iStory writer, and as such I think that makes the profile near-canon content. So is there another reason why don't you want to consider the source as a deciding factor?--MiamiVolts (talk) 05:29, 20 December 2009 (EST)
