Rename[]
I think this should be renamed to 'Male Kahana victim ' --Ryan76el 08:08, 2 June 2008 (PDT)
"Male Kahana Victim" --Mistertrouble189 16:15, 10 June 2008 (PDT)
- Disagree. The word Kahana makes it seem like he's a freightie. If someone thinks of a better name, I'll reconsider the rename. --CTS 16:19, 10 June 2008 (PDT)
Deletion[]
- Article speedy deleted. The short summary that it is an undocumented fan opinion article. More specifically:
- Redundant with Background cast and Background cast/middle section survivors
- We've been through this issue numerous times before, see the main article pages and talk pages of the above two articles.
- Separate named articles for the background cast are generally created when: 1) A name is mentioned in dialog (either directed at a specific background extra or not), 2) The character is credited in the official ABCMedianet press releases (either for stunts or a line cut in editing, etc.), 3) The character in some episodes had a line, and was therefore credited. One notable exception has been made for SBSSG, who was documented with external URLs as a "significant" fan phenomenon.
- Storyline information for extras is fan speculation, and does not belong in an article. In other words, the Lost writers have nothing to do with accidents of 1) placement of background with respect to each other (e.g. speculation of relationships), 2) background actions of extras (fixing tents, etc.)
- Writing staff also have nothing to do with appearance or non-appearance of extras from episode to episode, something probably dictated by the conveniences found necessary by casting departments. Therefore as previously noted there have been far more individuals appearing as survivor extras than there were supposedly on the plane.
- Because Lost's writers generally have nothing to do with the extras, these should remain cast articles, rather than storyline character articles.
- Note for kahana casualties: these extras may indeed be listed as casualties by screencap details in another article (such as the kahana, or in the episode summary), but this does not deserve its own article as per above.
