Talk:Carla
- Whoah. Now that's a character article that's pure cruft.--Hardvice (talk) 15:07, 25 October 2007 (EDT)
- Can't say I personally see a big distinction in terms of cruftiness between this one and wrestler. They're different in many ways, but I guess to use an argument from before I'll ask, "Does it hurt to leave it?" (Admin 15:24, 25 October 2007 (EDT))
- Well, this one will never have an image. She was not important to the plot, did not appear, was mentioned in one line of dialogue, and does not have a portrayer. Other than that, she's exactly like the wrestler. Oh wait. That means she's nothing like the wrestler.--16:15, 25 October 2007 (EDT)
- And no, it doesn't hurt to leave it. I didn't mark it for deletion.--Hardvice (talk) 16:17, 25 October 2007 (EDT)
- If we want to compare her and the wrestler, the wrestler has valid notes and information that would make a note on another page (muscle mimicry? Monica? The Kindness of Strangers?) way too long. Carla's entire page could be neatly included in half a sentence, and that would include every detail about her. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:18, 25 October 2007 (EDT)
- Not to mention the fact that reducing the wrestler to a Wikipedia link doesn't explain everything (nothing about the move, nothing about Gutierrez vs. his character as Mysterio) and would give us an external link in the middle of the synopsis (ugh), while with Carla, all we lose is four brackets from the sentence "Sandra Bennet explains that the reason her friend Carla says Mr. Muggles isn't breedworthy is that he's not sexy enough." That's the sum-total of her character.--Hardvice (talk) 16:32, 25 October 2007 (EDT)

- I think this is more like Roxanna Castillo than the wrestler. --Hero!(talk)(contribs) 17:39, 25 October 2007 (EDT)
- I agree. I dont think this page needs to be here. There's not enough information to warrant its own article. (Admin 17:47, 25 October 2007 (EDT))
- Since we're on the subject and it's been broached before, I think a good guideline for whether or not a character article should exist is if we can say something about the person beyond what could be said in an appropriate alternate article. Carla's entire article could be stated in the summary of another article. I don't feel the same way about the wrestler for the reasons stated above and elsewhere on the site. Even with Roxanna, if her name even so much appears in the byline of another article somewhere, I would wholly support an article on her--it would be weird to have her history, no matter how short, contained completely in the notes of fire (1992) or even Odessa Register. Of course, I don't want to suggest a hard-and-fast rule, just a general guideline. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 18:31, 25 October 2007 (EDT)
