Maybe I'm being the PC police, or maybe not, but can someone explain why the racial backgrounds of Herb Jefferson and Grace Park are relevant enough to be mentioned here? I can't shake the thought that if the actor playing the character was European-American we wouldn't think to mention it. And since Boomer exists in a fictional universe whose inhabitants have never heard of Africa or Korea, these racial distinctions have no relevance to the character itself.

: It's intended as a disambiguation page, since there are two versions of the Boomer character: [[Lieutenant Boomer]] and [[Sharon Valerii]]. But it does have a little too much information for a disambiguation page; I guess it could be trimmed or maybe even deleted entirely.[[User:Darthmix|Darthmix]] 18:51, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

The problem with deleting it is that there's another disambiguation page, [[Boomer]], with one link to this page; if we delete this we need to create another entry on that page, so that there's one for each version of the BSG character.

:{{ping|SamStrongTalks}} I think your way is the best, since we have (Battlestar Galactica) disambiguator in the title it should be a disambiguation page about relevant Battlestar Galactica terms.

Twice the same

[edit]

Why this article and Lieutenant Boomer? Xx236 13:03, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's intended as a disambiguation page, since there are two versions of the Boomer character: Lieutenant Boomer and Sharon Valerii. But it does have a little too much information for a disambiguation page; I guess it could be trimmed. The problem with deleting it is that there's another disambiguation page, Boomer, with one link to this page; if we delete this we need to create another entry on that page, so that there's one for each version of the BSG character.
