Talk:Will Graham (character)

message: There are no other google hits for this word other than this article. I would be interested to know more... --PaulWicks 23:19, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Heh. Being a bit of a word nut, I just ran the same search. I'm going to be bold and just drop the reference. It might be a word Harris made up, it might be a typo; either way, while I know Google isn't the arbiter of ALL knowledge, ZERO hits (especially considering how popular psychopathy is as a general-interest topic and how many fans Harris has), it's not a "real word."
Good call.--PaulWicks 19:50, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

message: 1. You didn't ask the rest of the people here before making the page.
2. A little known evangelist isn't worth moving the main article to a different page. At most, you put a blurb at the top, which I just did.--CyberGhostface 02:00, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Strong disagree here. Graham is hardly a "minor" character. He was the protagonist of the first novel.--CyberGhostface (talk) 23:01, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: But where is the real world content? It would fail Wikipedia notability, maybe "minor characters" is not the right place to merge, but the only characters that could possibly pass are, Hannibal Lecter, Clarice Starling, maybe Buffalo Bill. Dolarhyde and Graham are kind of a stretch, the only reason they can be considered is because two films were made, rather than one like the other books. Crawford, Krendler and others should be merged or deleted.--The Dominator (talk) 00:18, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You don't think there a number of reviews critiquing Graham? Maybe he's not a cultural icon like Lecter is, but he is a fairly significant character. And like you said, he's been featured prominently in two major films. I don't know why you seem intent on decimating most of the Hannibal related articles either. If we were to remove every fictional character who hasn't become an icon there'd be barely anything left.--CyberGhostface (talk) 01:29, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not intent on removing Hannibal articles, I'm sorry to seem like I'm harassing your work, what's the point of having this article? What does it do? Sum up the plot, the Red Dragon article does so too, I think it can be merged. Or if you find those articles than go ahead, establish notability. Find an essay on Graham's character, find a comparison on Norton vs. Petersen, right now the article recaps the plot. I'm not decimating the articles, I'm making them better, so they aren't redundant, I'm following Wikipedia policy, I've read the books, I've seen the movies and I know what you can say. As I said, this article does have a chance to be notable, some others don't, I used to create pointless character pages, now I know better, it doesn't help the project.--The Dominator (talk) 01:52, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm sorry for sounding snippy early. I'm not mad at you or anyone particular person, I'm just frustrated by a lot of Wikipedia's policies. Anyway, I searched up some interviews and reviews that discuss Graham. --CyberGhostface (talk) 02:17, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Those aren't half bad, it just needs some reviews of the book. Personally I'll look through Red Dragon today and look for characters describing Graham, if we can get real world content, there is no reason why the article can't stay. Thomas Harris does like to go inside characters' heads so we know quite a bit about them.--The Dominator (talk) 02:39, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm still for merging Mischa into the list, but I am convinced the others are notable, except...Jack Crawford (character), he was a major character in Red Dragon and Silence of the lambs, but I am doubtful we will find real-world content, I suggest that be merged into the respective articles, Red Dragon and Silence of the Lambs (the books).--The Dominator (talk) 02:44, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I suppose Mischa and all the other supporting characters could be merged.--CyberGhostface (talk) 03:07, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
