Forum:CT Archive/IU Notability

We all know the situation. For years, there have been TC arguments and whatnot regarding nameless individuals. Some say, whether or not LFL has given a character a name or not is not our problem; all identifiable individuals should have articles. Others say, we can't have an article on this character, because if we allow this, then we would have to allow that, and that would be silly. There's more to it than that, of course, but it's all covered elsewhere.

The fact is, we have no notability rules, which is why this problem persists. So to start off, I propose the following for film characters only. (Yes, there are other mediums to worry about too, but they each have their own concerns. We can get to that later.)

Notability of film characters
For a film character (with "film" meaning the six theatrical and three television films) to be considered worthy of an individual article, they must have at least one of the following:
 * 1) A name
 * 2) Dialogue in the film
 * 3) The ability to be visually identifiable and distinguishable as a unique individual, and unable to be reasonably mistaken for another individual. This applies, in particular, to armored troopers, clones, and similarly dressed characters of the same species.

Vote
No additional options, please.
