Talk:List of Lost characters

message: The blurb for Alpert states that he was a slave on the Black Rock based on the 'shackles' comment. Is there a reference that this is the intended meaning of the 'shackles' comment? As I watched the episode it was unclear what MIB's intended meaning was for this comment. Jeremiah McGowan 16:05, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: In the spirit of being bold, and because even the official Lost website does not contain any references to Alpert being on the Black Rock as a slave or otherwise, I have removed the comment from his blurb. Any disagreements, please post and let me know. Jeremiah McGowan (talk) 18:25, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

message: It has been in at least 20 episodes, and it looks as if it will be the main antagonist from this point forward. The Monster needs its own article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.0.106.210 (talk) 08:06, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: An article detailing all instances of the Man In Black/monster (including those portrayed by Yemi, Christian, Locke etc.) is a great idea. I think we also need to make it clear in character articles that, for example, the on-screen Locke we're now seeing is not Locke - ie. take the info about Locke post-death out of there, same with Christian, to avoid duplication in the MIB article.

thread_title: Man In Black article

message: How about a bit on the introduction clarifying the "history" of the characters decribes how it was revealed over the first five seasons, and that the weird season 6 version of the events of 2004 may continue to conflict with that. Might prevent some revert wars!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.146.226.209 (talk) 01:46, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

message: I think it's a good time to recall Talk:Characters_of_Lost/Archive_9#Is_episode_count_original_research.3F. The producers said that we have seen the monster before and we didn't realise it. Episode count not based on books or magasines was proven inaccurate for second time. (Lock's episode count was the first one). -- Magioladitis (talk) 01:32, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: That is not really the episode count's fault.  By that token, multiple articles were wrong for months because they said that Locke had survived his death.  –thedemonhog talk • edits 05:10, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Monster and episode count 

message: So, Nicky and Paolo are "main" characters, but Rose and Bernard are "minor?" How does that work out? They all had flashback episodes, and Rose and Bernard have been seen far more often and have been instrumental at times. 216.194.7.254 (talk) 23:48, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Distinction between "main" and :"minor" characters 

message: I think we need to look into creating articles for both Jacob and Naomi Dorrit. Jacob is really first priority here; he's (obviously) an integral part of the show's mythology, and now that there's a Man in Black article it seems sort of silly to not have a Jacob article. Naomi's article I could personally take or leave, but I think it's kind of important in that she had a flashback. If the time is going to be spent to give a character a flashback and shed some light on their backstory, I personally think they deserve an article. Gefred7112 (talk) 17:12, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  New character articles 

message: He's one of the most important aspects of the mythology, just as much as the Man in Black, and has appeared in several episodes.  In addition, he received his flashback episode (along with the Man in Black) in "Across the Sea".  Even characters like Ethan, Cindy, Keamy, and Rousseau who never had flashbacks have their own article.  I think its important that he gets one.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by JDJ39 (talk • contribs) 21:37, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: But every article needs to pass Wp:Notability to have it. Importance within the series does not make him notable.Tintor2 (talk) 00:39, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Who is the arbiter of whether or not Jacob passes the Wp:Notability test?
Additionally, I question the validity of continuing to list Jacob as an "Other" at this point.  It is clear that his role in the series long precedes that of the Others, and though his character is introduced by way of the Others, he's much bigger than any of the various groups in the series.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.130.141.158 (talk) 07:27, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

text: There's a fair few articles about Jacob and interviews with Mark Pellegrino out there. If you want to make a Jacob page, go for it Tphi (talk) 13:47, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

text: Wouldn't it better to see the article can pass notability before redirecting it? The most recent articles created, Illana and the Man in Black, have no reception sections.Tintor2 (talk) 13:51, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jacob Needs his own page 

message: Though arguably not significant enough to warrant their own articles, clearly the characters of Mother and Claudia (played by Allison Janney and Lela Loren, respectively) - introduced in "Across the Sea" - have important enough roles in the series that they warrant inclusion in the "Miscellaneous characters" section.  If "Bram" and "Diane Janssen" are regarded as important enough to be listed, I can't see how the characters of Mother and Claudia could not be considered notable enough to be included.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.130.141.158 (talk) 07:37, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

message: Since they were credited as main cast members in the series finale, I think it's about time Pierre Chang and Eloise Hawking get their own articles. Agree? Gefred7112 (talk) 18:26, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

text: I say go for it.  Nikki and Paulo have their own article, and they were probably the most minor "main" characters the show had.  They had lines in maybe three episodes. Kevinbrogers (talk) 01:32, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
