From Homestar Runner Wiki

Why are we deleting this? Kvb 19:53, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I see how this could become a decent page, but for now I really don't like it. If we keep it it'll need major work. And what's with the made-up names for the Marshmallow crowd? —FireBird|Talk 19:53, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The idea of this page is good, but it will mix characters from differnet worlds. You can clearly see that characters from MLS are completely different from a "character" we know is played by Bubs. Those can not fit together. For this kind of thing I stated Old Characters. E.L. Cool 22:28, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I like this article, but it should be limited to characters that have never been named. Bubs' character should not be here as he is playing someone else, but its still Bubs. keep it for all the characters without any names at all, real or unreal -- Tony Stony 14:54, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I definately agree: Bubs is out of place. Aurora the Homestar Coder 15:53, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I just don't like this page. An unnamed "character" who's just a placeholder isn't really a character. --TROGGA! 23:32, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

But we do need to mantion them somewhere. Do you think we need a full page article about That Alian Guy? We don't. So we thats why we have this page for. E.L. Cool 05:45, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I think these "characters" can just be "mantioned" in the transcripts. Should we add the penguin from Experimental Film and the Dogbert-like character from dullard? --TROGGA! 20:23, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I don't see why not. E.L. Cool 20:58, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I hope you're joking. --TROGGA! 02:45, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Please don't delete!!

Why delete it? It's very useful, you know. -Kinsey

Actually, it really isn't. There is literally no useful information here, except for "The Alien Guy" being the only source of nudity. —FireBird|Talk 02:32, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

But consider the alternative...would you rather have one useless page devoted to unnamed characters or lots of useless pages devoted to each character seperatly? These characters need to be on the wiki, because you never know if people might actually be interested in finding out something about someone. -- Tony Stony 02:42, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'd rather not have them here at all. What good is "An Unnamed Girl appears in the background of Dancin' Bubs"? I say if they appear more than once we should have a page for them. —FireBird|Talk 02:44, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Ok, lemmie give you an example. A while back, before my wiki days I was really into Homestar Runner in its own right. One day I discovered the old games menu, and began playing. I noticed a character I had never seen at all before. Had I known about a wiki at that point, I would have loved to see someone else acnowledge her and also to have somewhere to discuss the posibiility of her becoming some other character. It doesnt matter if you see it as useful, but some random user might be really curious about the character (or lack thereof). As a wiki, we have the responsibility to categorize everything (within some reason) for other users to benifit. -- Tony Stony 02:46, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I see your point, but I'm still staying by what I think of this page. —FireBird|Talk 02:48, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Well I'm certainly not saying your position is wrong. I just consider myself a liberal wiki editor. -- Tony Stony 02:55, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
