Talk:Doctor Lynn Hyashi

We should not have articles for characters that don't exist. --KilMichaelMcC 02:06, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

We have articles for, say, Leatherhide for a random example.

You could argue that Red Alert's death sequence in TF:TM does not exist- but we have astoryboards of it, and it's discussed here.

Pre-production information of all sorts makes it into the wiki. Sometimes notorious instances of 'things that do0nt' exist' end up creeping into and influencing later material. I guess the question is just- where do you say what will and won't be included? -Derik 03:07, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

I had forgotten about the all the "unreleased toys" articles when I wrote my previous statement. I do think those are more article-worthy than a human character from a script who was taken out and replaced with another human character. It seemed to me that Lynn Hyashi oughta just be a trivia note in the "War of the Dinobots" and Chip Chase pages. --KilMichaelMcC 11:41, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Well, you make a good point. (but dont' tell anyone I said so.) There's really nothing 'here' not also elsewhere. I think I'll change the article into a redirect for WOTD. -Derik 19:13, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

I second that. Merge and redirect. --Ratbat 02:45, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Somebody either delete this thing or say it's not getting deleted already. --Andrusi 20:47, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Replacing her with Chip in the final script does not invalidate the possible existence of Doctor Lynn Hyashi.

Given the fundamental nature of TF-- it's entirely possible that Doctor Lynn Hyashi will SHOW UP in TF at some point- put in by a writer who wants to be playful.

While it is not the Wiki's mandate to provide a reference source for professionals and fanfic writers... let us not kid ourselves that it doesn't happen. If we're restricting ourselves to 'just what made it into final production,' dozens of other articles (like the aforementioned Leatherhide) have to go too.

I think it should stay though. Because... Doctor Lynn Hyashi is part of TF. She was in an official script that was part of a DVD release. There you go.

(Of course, following this logic means that Cubbie needs an article too.) -Derik 01:30, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

I say this is something much more suited to trivia note on the actual episode page.--MCRG 02:53, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Seriously, folks, it's been pending deletion for six months now... --Andrusi 23:22, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
