Terry Bogard article?[]
I was thinking about creating an article for the SNK guest character, Terry Bogard, who will be joining Fighting EX Layer. I know that it doesn't make a lot of sense to have an article for Terry in an SF Wiki, but here's why I think we should have one:
- We have an article for every playable character in SF and its spin-offs. Not having one for Terry would be an exception to this rule.
- We have articles for characters that never appeared in SF proper, such as most of the characters from the shared universe such as Captain Commando, Slam Masters and Rival Schools characters. We also have one for Hayate's descendant, a character exclusive to FEXL.
- If you look at other wikis, like the Tekken Wiki for example, they do have articles for guest characters like Akuma and Geese, detailing their guest appearances.
- Terry is no stranger to the SF characters, as he has appeared in crossover games like CvS and SvC Chaos, so we could also mention his appearances in those games here as well.
What do you think? Should we have an article for Terry or should we leave things as they are? --EterTC (Talk to Me) 18:11, August 8, 2018 (UTC)
- I don't think it needs, Capcom is not involved in the game, so it can't is SF spin-offs or crossover. The game may in an independent universe, moreover Terry is guest character, like guest in SFxT or SFOL. --Tyughvbn (talk) 20:36, August 8, 2018 (UTC)
- True, that's a good point. However, this wiki does cover FEXL, as even without Capcom's involvement, it still is an SF-related game due to its characters originating from the SF series, and we have an article for Hayate's descendant who never appeared in the EX series and theoretically has nothing to do with Capcom either. This is different from SFxT and SFO, as those were full-fledged crossover games, so there's no point in making articles for every single character featured in said crossover. I remember at some point we did have a Cole MacGrath page and it ended up being deleted, and rightfully so, as we didn't need it. Also, if the problem comes due to FEXL not being a main SF title, would the situation be any different if Terry was in SFV instead, for example?
- I won't create an article for Terry now, but I'd like to know what others think.--EterTC (Talk to Me) 23:05, August 8, 2018 (UTC)
