Page name[]

Just specifying that I'm renaming this page as "Ruby's vessel" because multiple characters already have this format. Gourgeist (talk) 03:17, December 24, 2014 (UTC)

That's true, although, this girl wasn't really referred to as Ruby's Vessel. They always called her Coma girl. :/ Tysonjackson (talk) 03:25, December 24, 2014 (UTC)
No, that's technically wrong. If I remember correctly, she was called "coma girl" not twice, but once, and was also labelled to be in a coma by doctors. But, whatever, this page should also be deleted because it sorely lacks substance. -- ImperiexSeed, 10:30 PM, December 23rd 2014
While I may agree with blonde vessel not having a page, this girl was an actual character. She appeared non possessed and was mentioned by the characters. She's just as important as other minor characters like Taylor (Young Student). Tysonjackson (talk) 03:42, December 24, 2014 (UTC)
I know this is technically irrelevant because these are separate wikis, but the Harry Potter wiki literally has an article about toasters, and the Game of Thrones wiki has pages for characters that are almost completely unnecessary. Not to mention all the "unidentified" characters (i.e. inconspicuous background characters) on both wikis. I'm sure the vessel of major character wouldn't hurt. Gourgeist (talk) 03:39, December 24, 2014 (UTC)
No, that is an atrocious example and cannot be compared to Taylor from "After School Special," who while also a minor character, has more substance to her character; a name, an affiliation, and actually interacted as herself. And, Gourgeist, that depends on the users and what level of substance, or lack of, and inconspicuousness their wiki's able to tolerate. I edit the Harry Potter wiki and they seem to document everything, however that does not mean that we just create pages for every-frickin'-thing for this wiki. -- ImperiexSeed, 10:45 PM, December 23rd 2014
I don't see why not. This is an issue of granularity; it comes down to how much of the Supernatural universe we want to document. It makes the Wiki more comprehensive as a source to document as much of the Supernatural universe as we can - because keep in mind, the fictional universe is not the same as the real-life universe. This is the idea behind documenting even the mundane (such as toasters in the HP Wiki) - so that we can capture as much as we can about that universe. There's nothing erroneous at all about the information here and it makes us more comprehensive. I would say keep. Calebchiam Talk 03:56, December 24, 2014 (UTC)
I'd say we've reached somewhat of a consensus to keep it. :D Tysonjackson (talk) 04:18, December 24, 2014 (UTC)
No.... As I've said, it's too unsubstantial to keep. -- ImperiexSeed, 12:10 AM, December 24th 2014

I vote to keep it, too, especially because I think that there is a decent amount of information that could be added to the page about the character. I also agree with Tysonjackson on naming the page "Coma Girl," since that was the only name applied to her in canon and therefore, in my opinion, works better than "Ruby's vessel," which also has the disadvantage of being a confusing page name because there are four potential vessels it could be referring to. "Coma Girl" lets you know instantly which vessel the page is about and also uses the canonical nickname used to refer to her. If we do decide to use the "Ruby's vessel" format, it might be a better idea to use something like "Ruby's brunette vessel" to help distinguish her from the other three hosts Ruby was seen using.--NaiflidG (talk) 06:19, December 24, 2014 (UTC)
