Talk:The I-Land

Background/crimes section
I propose we start a section explaining and depicting the background and crimes of each of the characters, as well as talking about their connections. I would definitely help with the section, and if anyone would want to as well, most of them start in episode 5. However, I want to reach consensus first over the idea of adding it into the article.

 * I think it should be on the episode table instead of a separate section. — Young Forever (talk)   19:36, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
 * But with the limit of 200 words per episode summary, there's no way all ten character's backgrounds will fit. I was also playing around with the idea of creating a separate article (List of The I-Land characters) since there is a lot to each character. Jayab314  19:39, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
 * We could put the code in between to separate from the plot summary. — Young Forever (talk)   20:12, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
 * That still breaks the 200 word limit. And anyway, backgrounds of characters isn't plot. It's background. It would also be unclear as to what episode to put it under as the background of characters starts in as early as episode 2 and goes all the way until the final minutes of episode 7. It would be much clearer if their backgrounds were listed in a flowing manner instead of the order which the appear in the episodes, but that's my opinion. Jayab314  20:16, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
 * The section/article will not be limited to just the ten "criminals" either, it will include the warden, the nurse, Bonnie and Clyde, and other notable people in the facility. Jayab314  21:55, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

 * This is a short series, and I personally don't see a reason as to why we need to create a separate article detailing the crimes of the ten characters. Personally, I think a short summary of their crimes in their character description should be fine. Elainasla (talk) 12:49, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Another option as said background of specific characters can be add on the character description under the Cast and characters section. —  Young Forever (talk)   01:12, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I guess leaving the descriptions in the currect characters section is sufficient. Jayab314  01:54, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
