Revision as of 19:41, 2 April 2021

This topic might have a better name.

When coverage of Action 21 is finished, the majority of sources will depict Captain Scarlet as a real person, not one of fiction. As such, the page should be renamed as per standard dabbing policy to Scarlet (Captain Scarlet in Death Crash!). Obviously a redirect should still exist to the current name.

Talk about it here.

This article needs a big cleanup.

Needs to be rewritten with "account" language to consider sources which portray Scarlet as real.

These problems might be so great that the article's factual accuracy has been compromised. Talk about it here or check the revision history or Manual of Style for more information.
