Jabberwockxeno's board-to-board with Subtank

Oh, and happy celebrations. :P

It's not annoying at all. In fact, it's interesting to have these discussions. :)

There are always factors that provide exceptions. I would guess the reason why unidentified NMPD officer falls within the notability guidelines ("worthy of notice") is because of:

1. The character connects both story plots from the main story of Halo 3: ODST and Sadie's Story, by referencing Kinsler's orders.
2. The character is the only character that directly impacts the game, depending on whether the player finds the 29th audio log. If they do, then they will witness the character attempting to kill them near the last audio log. If not, they will simply hear the character getting killed by buggers.

I guess I should clarify a character's contribution that directly impacts the game is different than those that directly impacts the events in a game. Then again, it could work on opposite.

It is always assumed by the fans that the Field Marshal(l) that killed some of the Nobles in Reach is one and the same. However, unless there is conclusive evidence showing so (either through some supplementary stories, references or what-not), I don't think it fulfills the notability guidelines. I think this is why most of the users in Halopedia decided not to create an article about the Field Marshal(l).

There are other unidentified characters that I do not think meet the guidelines. However, some users do provide convincing arguments why they are notable, just like the Self-destruct article.

My personal opinion: no.

Consider the following examples. H1 has a Zealot guarding the door to the Silent Cartographer. This Zealot appears in a cutscene where the Chief disables the Cartographer's security, and makes a final appearance when you try to exit out of the facility. Notable and worthy of having its own article? No because there is no name. In H2's Uprising campaign level, we observe multiple Elites dropping down to assist the Arbiter at the start of the level. Mind you, these Elites have special dialogues and assist you throughout (until they die). Notable and worthy of having its own article? No because they have no name. I can't remember any from H3 or ODST for now but I bet there are instances of this happening. These examples highlight their contributions, impacting the events as the plot unfolds. Notable to be mentioned in their respective articles, yes, but not to the extent of having their own articles.

It is the wiki's duty to provide a comprehensive database but it is subjected to the rules, guidelines and policies the community has agreed on to better present the information to the readers/visitors.

In this case, the Notability Policy would apply (accessible via sidebar). Without this policy, the wiki would end up as it did in 2007/2008 with its terrible "anything seen gets an article" policy... resulting with tons of articles of redundant information and/or containing only one sentence.

This is different from characters in novels as they have "names" (which is sufficiently notable) and could have potential growth in the future... unless it can be said that they would be better presented in a list-type article (i.e. List of XXX).

Unnecessary and not notable characters.

If you need a comment, I'll just say this: Good job. :)

You should know by now that I am a lurker; I only involve myself if it benefits me. ;)

I only involve myself in the Bungie Universe. Sorry. :(

The latter. :)

I was planning to move it to the original image's filename but accidentally remove it from my system, and later forgot all about it... >.<

Apologies. Anyway, could you please do the same thing but to the original image (which is larger/bigger in size)? And please upload it to the same filename... >.<
