All of the people with their own pages are notable enough to appear on this list.  However, if you look at pages about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable.  Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of info, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher).

message: NBC-TV weatherman Willard Scott occasionally referred to WGAL-TV during "Today" program broadcasts in the 1980s and '90s.  He jokingly said that WGAL had "a signal that could be reached on the Moon."  That's obviously untrue.  However, did WGAL-TV in its analog (pre-digital) days have a unusually strong signal (perhaps to reach the various valleys in its Appalachian territory)? Jab73 (talk) 04:57, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Mirage (Aladdin)

message: "Morbia," perhaps spelled "Morbea," is Mirage's homeland (for as much of a "land" as it really is). It appears in the first episode in which Mirage appears, "In the Heat of the Fright." In the episode description it's incorrectly called "Morbus."The Gazel Ministry (talk) 23:23, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Morbia

message: The article says that "Next to Mozenrath, Mirage is one of Aladdin's most powerful enemies." From what I've seen of the show, I'm inclined to say she is the MOST powerful, outside of some one-shot characters like Chaos or the Ethereal; after all, she is able to create an obelisk with a shadow that could wipe anything out of existance, or shred Genie to pieces with a wave of her hand. The only reason she seems to hold back is that her M.O. is based on being evil--her title is "Evil Incarnate"--and corrupting souls, as opposed to bluntly killing people. If she wanted to kill Aladdin and his friends and conquer Agrabah, I have no doubt that she could do it in a heartbeat. -- VederJuda 01:00, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: According to that episode, the evil genie wasn't a "free" genie, and that Genie lost some of his power as a result of being freed by Aladdin; and he ws eventually beaten by his evil double. Also, it seems Disney takes some liberties in how to neutralize a character's powers; Mechanikles once tricked Genie into entering a bottle her had, and trapped him inside; despite his semi-phenominal, nearly-cosmic power, Genie was rendered helpless until the bottle was opened. It is possible that be the same theory, a large creature grabbing Mirage is enough to render her helpless. All things considered, I suppose any talk of how powerful she really is is moot; since Disney plays around with character's abilities too much, and there are only three other magical characters she has appeared with, Genie, Fasir and Chaos; and never were their magical abilities directly compared. The only thing we know for certain is that her powers are no match for Chaos, but his power is so totally off the scale that it's pointless to derive Mirage's abilities by comparison. She is powerful, but I admit that any statement of how powerful other than explicit examples are OR at best. -- VederJuda 14:57, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
