They ARE though! I just need to know more about him/ her, but I HAVE spoken to him. He's real!

I'm really sorry, I'm still pretty new to the combine and didn't know where else to post this. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.... ?—Unsigned comment by Nimm Proga‎ (talk • contribs).

If you have spoken to him then use his real name, articles aren't create for alias. Sign your posts with ~.~.~.~. but without the . Venari Haliat 02:01, 23 November 2015 (GMT)

Leave it be, Venari. I like the mysterious nature of this, and the Combine needs a little spice-up. Nothing better than this to do so. As for the Cardinal, we have some clues. But by now, that‘ll have to wait. Better to confirm. Julio Weston 23:33 GMT -3, 22 November 2015.

There are already these "Mysterious puppetmasters" in the Combine, they do not need pages. Venari Haliat 03:12, 23 November 2015 (GMT)

I HAVE spoken with them, but they obviously did not use their real name, and as to your pointing out of their lack of pages, perhaps that is exactly why they are still "mysterious," as opposed to us all knowing about them and becoming capable of protecting ourselves from them on the Combine.

It is not a person, organisation, planet, or another similar feature in the game, therefore does not need or deserve a page, it is merely an alias. Venari Haliat 07:24, 23 November 2015 (GMT)

I don't know, I agree it adds flavour. Is there a rules section, saying that an alias can not have its own page? Please link me. Thanks! Alexander von Ismay 15:41, 23 November 2015 (GMT)

It IS a person, we simply don't know what their name is yet. The very purpose of this page is to let people know that the Cardinal exists and to possible accrue more information on him. Nimm Proga 10:47, 23 November 2015

If it is a person use their name, not their alias. Venari Haliat 21:21, 23 November 2015 (GMT)

Michael Bourne, or whoever does it, might as well do this for him. Venari Haliat 00:18, 24 November 2015 (GMT)

Okay I see no problem with "The Cardinal" on two conditions - 1)It is the alias of a PC and NOT an NPC. 2)His existence has been revealed in an IC context. This means The Cardinal is mentioned in a GNS Post, White Scenario, Scenario Hall Scenario, Character backstory, or any rp medium recognized as such under SWC rules(then you can add the link to the article). Unless someone can prove that either of the conditions are not true, I do not see any reason for "The Cardinal" article to remain as it is now. Further I removed, the redirect as it is unnecessary and placed the discussion back on the proper page. —Unsigned comment by Prard`aga Rono (talk • contribs).
