Forum:Character notability

With recent AfDs coming up for non-notable characters with most of them being randomly generated, as well as me thinking about it before, I thought a change to the notability policy should be made.

Simply said, I personally do not think that only a character being scripted in the scene should make him/her notable enough. Take Anya Kovaleva as an example. While she is always there, she doesn't have any significant role in the mission. Another example is Soucy. He always appears in "Black Tuesday" in the background. These kinds of characters are also never mentioned in the game, do not have any lines and do not contribute to the plot in any way.

If there was a page for every character in the background with a fixed name, there would be millions of stubs.

Of course, I'm talking about every character like this. People like Morgan are in my opinion notable as he's mentioned by Sgt. Foley and he along with Dunn helps Ramirez run past the BTR, thus having a role in the mission's events.

This may just sound better in my head, but I don't think every character with fixed name should be covered. Discuss. 12:38, January 26, 2012 (UTC)
