Characters of Halo	Master Chief (Halo) - Cortana - Arbiter (Halo) - Gravemind - Nicole (Dead or Alive)

I have run this by David Fuchs, who nominated the original topic, and he supports this addition. If you would look back to the original nomination for this topic, you'll see there was some controversy over the inclusion of Nicole (Dead or Alive) in the topic. Proponents of this article's inclusion (myself included) pointed to the fact that excluding the article may constitute an obvious and notable gap, thus violating criterion 1.d) However, opponents pointed to the fact that this article was not at the time properly integrated with the other articles (specifically Characters of Halo and Template:Halo characters), thus violating criterion 1.c), and hence the result of the nomination was that it passed, but without the Nicole article.

Since then, I have integrated the Nicole article with the others, where it has sat for over a month now, and feel that this should remove any objections to its inclusion here. On the other hand, I think that excluding the article would still violate criterion 1.d) (now more than ever). While Nicole has not appeared in any media outside Dead or Alive 4, she is still regarded as an in-continuity character of the Halo Universe - rst20xx (talk) 20:09, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

• Support - now that it is linked with the others in the template and the lead article summarizes it, it can and should be included. Zginder 2008-08-04T20:26Z (UTC)
• Strong support - Nicole is now mentioned in the lead article and the template of the characters of halo, which she should be, and should now be included in this topic to make it 100% complete. Great job. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 02:04, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
• Support - Properly linked with the rest of the topic now. James086^{Talk | Email} 08:42, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
• Support I guess. By the way, was Nicole actually ever in any Halo video games? Xnux the Echidna 15:34, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Quote from above, "Nicole has not appeared in any media outside Dead or Alive 4" - rst20xx (talk) 17:17, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
• Oppose There are other characters, more relevant to Halo that need to be added before this one should be introduced. Surprisingly, other characters even appeared in the game! Who should get priority: A character that appeared in several dozens scenes, or a character that appears in a different game? Nergaal (talk) 08:54, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Which other characters? None of the other characters have enough out of universe information or secondary sources about them to write an article. James086^{Talk | Email} 10:46, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
    • I agree. No other characters can be added besides Nicole, because she is the only other Halo character notable enough for an article. Well, maybe with the exception of the Flood and the Covenant, but they're more in line with factions of Halo rather than characters of Halo. Xnux the Echidna 02:33, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
      • Yes, exactly. The other characters are all covered exclusively in the main article - rst20xx (talk) 15:45, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
• Close with consensus to promote - rst20xx (talk) 14:20, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
