Talk:New York City hospital
I noticed something when writing this article. Many location articles have the GN occurrences in the About section, while we in other articles have been very careful about keeping only 100% canon material in the About section, and then have an extra section for the almost-canon material. Which policy should we stick to? -- Cuardin 14:42, 28 January 2007 (EST)
- You're absolutely right - good observation. That's kind of a tricky issue because we began by keeping the GN info in the notes. Then we had some places and people that were strictly GN-related, so we put the info in "About" section. Now we've got quite a few (Peter's hospital being a prime example) that really take place in both. Personally, I feel it's okay to put the GN reference in the article space so long as it's clearly marked as a graphic novel. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:20, 28 January 2007 (EST)
- Why shouldn't GN material be canon? Granted, they might have minor discrepancies with the show. But they still make valid contributions to the show to the degree that they're intended. And it seems like NBC is flirting with making Heroes a multimedia experience, where the GN's and Heroes360 will become integral supplements. When Hana Gitelman becomes a regular character is her article really going to be restricted to on-show material?--E rowe 15:27, 28 January 2007 (EST)
- Well, I happen to agree with you that the GNs should be included in the article space, but not necessarily that they should be considered the same level of "canon-icity" as the episodes. However, I'm not the one to make that decision, the community is. If you want to start that discussion, post a comment on the community portal. (And does anybody know the word for "canon-icity"? hehe) - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:41, 28 January 2007 (EST)
- The word is canonicity. Good call.--E rowe 15:46, 28 January 2007 (EST)
