I don't see any reason to have this as a separate ability.--MiamiVolts (talk) 10:56, 31 July 2008 (EDT)
- Keep - We have plant growth and plant manipulation which are similar, but different. --Pinkkeith 10:57, 31 July 2008 (EDT)
- I don't see any reason to keep this as a separate ability. "Similar but different" warrants separate articles (just like Debbie and Piper are similar, but should be different articles). However, articles that are about a subject that is incorporated by something larger should be separate articles. Strain 138 redirects to a section of Shanti virus, just as it should. Brooklyn redirects to a section of New York, NY, just as it should. Teleportation, too, should redirect to a section of space-time manipulation. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 14:22, 31 July 2008 (EDT)
- If we are going to take this approach we should be redirecting plant growth to plant manipulation and we should also state that Teleporter has the ability space-time manipulation instead of teleportation since we are claiming that are the same thing. I don't mind one way or the other, but we should be consistent and uniform in our naming conventions regarding articles. --Pinkkeith 14:26, 31 July 2008 (EDT)
- Given that there is characters said to have teleportation as their ability it should have it's own article as well. To only redirect teleportation to space-time manipulation would be to say that the teleporter's ability is the same as the space-time manipulator's ability to bend space - and to say that is speculation; we don't have anything to back up such a statement.
- So - to put it short: A strong'keep! Pierre 14:45, 31 July 2008 (EDT)
- This is a bit complicated I think. We know that the Teleporter can't teleport as far as Hiro and that he can't bend time (confirmed in an interview). However, there are two possibilities: either he has a different ability than Hiro, or he has the same ability, but is not as experienced. If we had seen this ability being used, I would say it should get its own article, for the same reasons that plant growth and plant manipulation aren't merged (we don't know if Au Co had a different ability than Lewis, or if she had the same ability, but at a lower development level). However! We haven't seen this ability being used, therefore, it's unconfirmed. Like dynamic camouflage, transportation, deoxygenation and weather control, it shouldn't get its own article. I suppose that a note in space-time manipulation will suffice.--Referos 15:47, 31 July 2008 (EDT)
