1377:"List of x characters" where x is the franchise name is the established title format for lists of fictional characters. "Characters of x" is the established title format for articles about a franchise's fictional characters. These are the title formats employed by all featured content and all applicable lists and articles should eventually conform to them. Any variation from these formats should result solely from semantic difference, something that is absent from the current case. 1550:. Essentially, a list article should not be a dumping ground for intricate levels of detail about the game that approach cruft, as many list article do. All characters in the list should either 1. Be very important to the plot, so that including them is essential to the reader's understanding of the work in question, or 2. Have some independent, reliable sources. Without either of these, having the character serves no purpose beyond cruft. かんぱい! 209: 523: 1154: 1136: 593: 966: 133: 75: 106: 953: 143: 21: 1208: 1429:. Several characters have already being confirmed, such as: Saltonstall, Elizabeth and Booker DeWitt. I personally believe we should wait until more information regarding these characters are revealed until they warrant a mention in the article.

And it sucks big time, like what 95 fucking characters? you know there's a little place for that, called FANSITES AND WIKIAS OF THE GAME this information of most characters is pathetically irrelevant and it should be reduced to only the most important ones, Jack, Andrew Ryan, Atlas, Fontaine and

characters featured in the show have and should be mentioned. If only the major characters are to be mentioned, the article might as well be renamed "List of major characters in the BioShock series". All characters that play a role in the plot should be mentioned, as the article name states, no

I disagree. The name of the article is "List of characters in the BioShock series". What was included in the article was a list of characters in the BioShock series, how can that possibly be irrelavent? I understand what your getting at, but if you look at other articles like
1311:, which could (and will) confuse readers. Also, the fact that you actually wrote “Any confusion with a list of characters from only the first game is easily cleared up” proves that you agree to a certain extent that ‘’’some’’’ confusion will be generated with the move. 1348:
It would be much easier to just redirect “List of BioShock characters” to the article, anyway. After all, as it has been named “List of characters in the BioShock series” since its creation,” and there hasn’t been any problem’s associated with the name so far.

If you wish to trim this article down so there's only a couple mentioned for every game, then (as I said before), you should rename this page "List of major BioShock characters." (--Pavel Chekov, Esq. 12:55, 16 August 2010 (UTC))

Alright, I was asked to weigh in on this. My personal opinion is that, if a character is not mentioned in any third-party, reliable sources, and is not a major character, then they should not be included under
