Tyrion Lannister (A Song of Ice and Fire) → Tyrion Lannister – no disambiguation needed Jaqen (talk) 17:01, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Histermge with Tyrion Lannister, this article was created before and then merged away before being recreated again, so the previous creation should exist in the history of this article -- 70.50.148.248 (talk) 15:18, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

out-of-character actor image
Because using out-of-character actor photos as illustrations of characters makes no sense, I have removed the OOC actor photo. Copyright-free images of either a drawing/illustration of the character or of the actor in character - if they can be found/acquired - would be very welcome additions to the article.-- Ty rS  06:47, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

RfC on Oathkeeper
There's an RS-related RfC on Oathkeeper. Participation and fresh voices would be welcome. The matter concerns a single-line reference to the chapters upon which the episode was based. Darkfrog24 (talk) 21:38, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

Do we really need plot summaries for both the television and the novels?
For the most part, the TV show follows Tyrion's plot fairly precisely. Where they deviate is usually not notable as the character is basically the same.

Do we really need two plot summaries? Eric the fever (talk) 04:33, 29 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Are there two separate summaries here? The TV series-centric section touches on plot points mentioned in related articles or to give context, but I wouldn't call it a summary.&mdash; TAnthonyTalk 15:22, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

Tyrion's former wife
I found something in this article and the List of A Song of Ice and Fire characters article perplexing. I started a discussion on that article's talk page. Nightscream (talk) 00:23, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

Tyrion's name
In a blinkbox books interview, Martin said that he researched into medieval 'English' names for inspiration.. however due to England's upper-hand in representation of the UK, 'England' can mean; Wales, Northern Ireland & Scotland. and the closest name to tyrion in all those countries is Tirion, which is a Welsh given name. I tried to include 'Tirion' in the description, but two people removed it.. and because I don't have enough editorial experience, I cannot argue with them, which is why I'm asking if anyone else could verify and edit 'Tirion' into the article please? I don't want to get banned for disputing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hogyncymru (talk • contribs) 03:17, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for starting this discussion. I'm one of those who removed your addition here, and I've just watched the interview again so I can better explain why. Basically, Martin says he researched medieval names, and though he mentions things like changing Edward to Eddard, he never mentions Tyrion. He also doesn't make any blanket statements suggesting that most or many of the characters in this series were named based on this particular research. It is the very definition of what we call original research for you to take what he did say and interpret/assume that his research applies to an unmentioned character, research names that you believe fit the bill, and then present such a name as Martin's inspiration. Yes, it's entirely possible and maybe even likely that Martin added a Y to Tirion, but no actual sources seem to exist to allow us to assert that per our policies.— TAnthonyTalk 04:14, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I've removed a similar passage from Daenerys Targaryen for the same reason.— TAnthonyTalk 20:28, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
