Talk:Steve Donner
Is this article necessary? The image we have is an image of Sylar, not of Donner. Plus, Donner never had a character history. I think a redirect to Sylar or deletion of the page altogether would be good (we don't have a character page for the female coroner, do we). --Radicell 06:43, 11 April 2009 (EDT)
- Yeah I completely agree with you, I think we should just redirect in case anyone comes looking for Donner, not knowing it's Sylar.--Steely McBeam - (talk) 06:54, 11 April 2009 (EDT)
- But Steve Donner is a character in Heroes. The image may be of Sylar, but it's the only picture we have of what Donner looks like. It's the same situation with somebody like Mr. Campbell. That's actually a picture of Candice, and I'm sure Crash's father doesn't really look like that monstrous version of himself, but it's the closest thing we have to what he looks like. I think this page is an absolutely valid article about an absolutely valid character. I'm also a little disappointed that this page was moved without ever being advertised with a rename tag or anything. I'll add the rename tag so it can be properly discussed first. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 10:14, 18 April 2009 (EDT)
- I would call that "preemptive spoiler" when you follow a story and get the conclusion right with the name. I am not happy to find two people with evsdropr just by redirecting. Also I find it difficult to take the shape of somebody who does not even exist! So I think it should stay and lead to Sylar but not automatically.
- The article under its current state looks much better. (Apologies for the blatant move.) --Radicell 10:28, 18 April 2009 (EDT)
