Talk:Bran Stark

Is this really notable?
He is a pretty inconsequential character from a literary perspective, and I cannot think of a single piece of third party analysis about him. IMO delete the article.Eric the fever (talk) 23:39, 20 November 2014 (UTC)


 * I wouldn't have recreated the article myself, but since it was back I put in a few citations that assert some notability. If you're going to supporting deleting this one, you have to delete Arya and Sansa too at this point (as well as Baelish and Brienne), because they don't have much in the articles asserting notability. But this article is short and has enough external mentions to at least exist, in my opinion.&mdash; TAnthonyTalk 00:26, 21 November 2014 (UTC)


 * I disagree that he's inconsequential, but as a huge ASOIAF fan, I'd love to see as many articles related to the series created and maintained. Since you're a member of the ASOIAF Wikiproject, perhaps you could assise? — BranStark (talk) 14:08, 21 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Eric the fever and I do agree on the fact that not every ASOIAF really deserves a separate article, and even characters that seem important in the books or the TV series may not be worthy for the simple reason that there is no notable external discussion about them. So the articles end up being entirely plot, and invite casual editors to add even more plot details as time goes on. The examples we have right now on decent character articles are Ned, Tyrion and Jon Snow, and to some extent Margaery. I have collected some research that could flesh out a few more, but haven't gotten around to it. So we shouldn't create any more articles like Rickon that will probably be merged back into the List; most of the characters probably have extended articles buried in their edit history but they have been redirected for a reason. &mdash; TAnthonyTalk 14:19, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah I agree and whatever the outcome, I certainly wouldn't be offended in any way if Bran's page was reverted back to a redirect :) — BranStark (talk) 14:20, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

Bran is an important character in the story. Remember, he becomes King in the end. Why does Bran become King? Most people don't get this. Bran is a literary analogy of the history of the people of Westeros. Bran is the only source of what really happened during the current cycle of Ice and Fire. By killing Bran Stark, the Knight King intends to destroy history. The Knight King is a necromancer who raises the dead, turning them and their new lives into something monstrous. In our world, the history of humans on Earth, history is always written by the victors. The real history always loses. However, in GOT, Bran becomes King, history for all wins, and the knowledge of history guides the future; lies about the past are no longer possible; just ask Little Finger.JoaquinDMenendez (talk) 02:30, 25 March 2024 (UTC) JoaquinDMenendez 24/03/2024

Why are these articles using pictures of the TV show characters?
Seems strange. You don't look up "Aragorn" and see a picture of Viggo Mortenson.
