This really ought to be more its own infobox and less a clone of the character box. It should have things like members, sites, and equipment, and not things like significant others, children, etc. In other words, info should be about the group, not the members.--Hardvice (talk) 17:18, 17 May 2007 (EDT)
- Agree. This is a good start, but it's not where it needs to be yet. I found the home variable to be ... odd. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:22, 17 May 2007 (EDT)
Died?
How does a group die? All of the members could die, but I wouldn't say the group died--even for something like D.L.'s crew (which should probably be split into separate character pages).--Hardvice (talk) 12:48, 18 May 2007 (EDT)
- When it's members are killed off, the group is essentially dead... the died option is for D.L.'s crew, the Deveaux Society and the Linderman Group. Died was already listed in the character box for D.L.'s crew, so all I'm doing really is converting it to a group.--MiamiVolts (talk) 12:54, 18 May 2007 (EDT)
- Characters are not groups and groups are not characters. We should treat them like separate entities, like Places and Locations. Linderman is dead ... the Linderman Group isn't. And since both Jessica and D.L. are alive, the crew really isn't either. It just doesn't make sense to say that a group is "dead", or has a home, or has powers. All of that applies to individual members, who should now have their own articles.--Hardvice (talk) 13:34, 18 May 2007 (EDT)
- Good point, and I like the distinction between groups and characters. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 00:15, 19 May 2007 (EDT)
- Should we list D.L. and Jessica as members, then, of D.L.'s crew?--MiamiVolts (talk) 00:23, 19 May 2007 (EDT)

Former members
So for a group like the Company or the fraternity, shouldn't there be an option for former members (such as deceased or people who quit)? --Bob (talk) 02:55, 30 October 2007 (EDT)
