Talk:Cindy Chandler (Lost)

Merge
Pickett has twice as many appearances as Cindy and is up for merging. If he goes, so does Cindy. ShadowUltra 16:18, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

I'd say keep. She has further added to the mystery of the show. 4 episode appearances, 1 book apperance is plenty enough. By your logic Alex should go as well.(Black Dalek 18:55, 16 April 2007 (UTC)).
 * Strong merge: That's complete bollocks. 4 episodes? That's less than Anthony Cooper and his page was merged/deleted. -- Silva  Storm  
 * I created the page and I think that Cindy has the right to have her own page, just like Rose and Bernard, who haven't appeared in that much episodes either. Plus she is bond to come back in a new episode Siemgi

Again, keep because Pickett was just a minor other (he just beat up sawyer and got shot), and it looks like Cooper may desevre his own page after The Brig airs. Cindy has appeared in all three seasons, and added to the backstroy of the show. Oh, and it's five episodes. it's also been rumoured that she'll reappear in The Brig (yes, I am pinning a lot on that episode). Nikki and paulo, the two most useless charcathers ever, and they get their own page page, just because they got a flashback(Black Dalek 10:50, 17 April 2007 (UTC)).
 * [Spoilers] ABC have confirmed Cindy is back in the Brig, I propose waiting until after that episode to see what role she plays before making a decision here. It also features Cooper, though from the episode description I don't think he'll be around for very long.. Tphi 14:31, 17 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Actually as 3x20 - The Man Behind the Curtain, Kimberley Joseph (Cindy) will have been in 8 episodes (Pilot Parts 1 & 2, Everybody Hates Hugo, ...and Found, Abandoned, The Other 48 Days, Stranger in a Strange Land and The Brig), whereas Michael Bowen (Pickett) will have been in 7 (Three Minutes, Live Together Die Alone Part 2, The Glass Ballerina, Every Man for Himself, The Cost of Living, I Do and Not in Portland), Tania Raymonde (Alex) in 9 (Maternity Leave, Three Minutes, Live Together, Die Alone Part 2, The Glass Ballerina, I Do, Not in Portland, Stranger in a Strange Land, The Man from Tallahassee and The Man Behind the Curtain) and Kevin Tighe (Cooper) in 5 (Deus ex Machina, Orientation, Lockdown, The Man from Tallahassee and The Brig). --thedemonhog talk contributions 23:44, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * So a character's importance is by how many episodes they appear in? What is Cindy's total screen time - less that two minutes? What does she do? Walk past with the kids. Stand with the kids. Sit with the kids. Speak a couple of lines. Yes, I can certainly see how important she is to the story. LOST would be lost without its babysitter. MERGE the damn article. Einbierbitte 17:32, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Seeing how much she apperaed in Season 2's beginning I would say way more than 2 minutes. And anyway Bernard has pretty much the same problem and no one's saying anything. I still say keep. Siemgi
 * True, Rose and Bernard haven't even shown up at all so far this season, though they will in a couple of weeks. Tphi 12:40, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I think taking Cindy off the Character list should have been discussed first before giving her her own article. But what's done is done. Although Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, I guess the character of Cindy will be explored in much more detail in the future, and her section will be expanded (why would the producers spend all the money on unimportant cameo appearances of Cindy otherwise?). Also, Cindy is notable as she is the only crew survivor, and one of the only four remaining tailie survivors that the audience has some idea about (the others being Bernard and the two kids). I know it sounds like postponing the final merge decision to an unknown time in the future, but I'd say let's wait until we finally have an idea what the Others and the kidnapped Tailies are all about (maybe that's in next week's "The Man Behind The Curtain"), and we can still merge her as not-notable enough-for-a-separate-article. Until then, keep it as it is. – sgeureka t•c 17:46, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge: What you've just said is a load of nothing. It needs to be merged, as Cindy is a minor character. End of story. -- Silva  Storm  
 * Well, then go ahead and merge. Her article is already longer than that of anybody else of the supporting Characters of Lost (minus Anthony Copper). TPTB seem fond of her (10 eps, and she's still alive), so her article will rather expand than stagnate. And if it's just that she's a minor character (your opinion) then I'll give you a few more: Alex (Lost) and Tom (Lost) (who haven't really shown any give-them-their-own-article notable actions but might in the future), and Nikki Fernandez and Bernard Nadler (who are also minor characters who just happened to have a (in-universe-non-notable) flashback episode). Clearly (to me), Cindy is a borderline case, and I see where you're coming from; I just want to prevent her from becoming de-merged after next week's episode or the week after that. But if Cindy doesn't show up in the next few episodes and increases her notability, then I'm also in favor of merging her over the hiatus until Season 4. – sgeureka t•c 21:53, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Wait three weeks until the end of the season, and we'll have a clearer picture. She may not even make it to the end, after all. Tphi 01:09, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Hugh (Star Trek) has his own page, when (relatively speaking) he has appearing in fewer episodes of Star Trek then Cindy has in lost.(Black Dalek 17:22, 7 May 2007 (UTC)).


 * I condensed the page and it was really short so I merged it with Characters of Lost. --thedemonhog talk • edits • count  05:10, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Ok. WHO THE HELL remade this page? Delete ASAP, it's horribly written and irrelevant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.234.41.228 (talk) 13:35, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Okay first of all, I don't even get why this page was created at all. Their are more important characters in the show that don't even have a page. And they appeared in much more episodes than Cindy. Like Jacob, Karl, The Picketts, Omar and many others. Cindy only appeared in like 5 episodes the entire series. I'm sorry but making a page for Cindy was a mistake. Jacob is the one who actually deserves his own article. He has his own centric coming up, and still nothing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 5teevee5 (talk • contribs) 05:38, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Add on that, this is a horribly written article. Can someone mark for deletion? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.152.179.64 (talk) 17:40, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

What? Karls episode count is 11. Pikets is 7. Cindy's is 15 and still counting. Yes I agree, Jacob should have a page, especially given the forthcoming centric —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.22.105.236 (talk) 11:07, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Cindy has not appeared in the many episodes. If she had she would have been on here a long time ago. It's been around 5 at least. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 5teevee5 (talk • contribs) 00:39, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

To clarify, Cindy has been in: Pilot #1, Pilot #2, Everybody Hates Hugo, And Found, Abandoned, The Other 48 Days, Stranger In A Strange Land, The Brig, LA X #1, LA X#2, Sundown, Recon, The Last Recruit. Not sure actually, now where the 14th and 15th appearances have come from. I know her voice was used and uncredited in an episode. To me she represents the crash survivors who are not main characters. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.22.105.236 (talk) 15:18, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Look, we don't have articles based on episode count. If we did, Vincent would have an article, as would background others like Luke that crop up a lot. We have articles based on characters that merit them. Cindy is irrelevant, has had a few lines this series, has contributed nothing to the plot, there is nowhere near enough out-of-Lost information on development etc to make the article strong, and it's almost insulting to give her an article when more significant, developed characters like Naomi don't have them. Please, mark for edletion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.85.180.148 (talk) 11:47, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Okay this article needs to go.
It's pointless. Her storyline isn't going anywhere in the series.

Exactly we don't have articles based on episode count.

Merge proposal
Just to support the previous merger proposals, and to reach consensus. The character was a minor one on the series, without any impact in popular culture and without deep coverage and reception. A couple of lines in reviews are not enough to establish notability. -- LoЯd  ۞pεth  02:49, 3 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I performed the merger since there was no opposition and no evidence to support notability. -- LoЯd  ۞pεth  19:31, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
