Name

Shouldn't this article be moved to "Doom Marine" or "Doom Slayer"? As far as I can tell, "Doomguy" is only a colloquial name used by fans and not an official identifier. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 15:05, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The name "Doomguy" is also official. In particular the character is identified by that name in Doom Eternal when speaking dialogue, and by NPCs. "Doom Guy" is also used as a name for the character in the Tony Hawk's crossover. As "Doomguy" is both official and the prevailing usage, I think it should be moved back there. -- DiplomatCreate (talk) 14:23, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

According to John Romero, Doom Guy's name is Doom Guy. 2A02:A312:C539:8D80:CD40:72BA:9C37:3793 (talk) 19:31, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Video about the lore

In an video about the lore it is stated that DOOM 1, DOOM 2, Doom 64, Doom (2016) and Doom Ethernal is the same guy and explains it based on official / canonical information in and around the games. see here --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vepBNAoTe7c In which relation the Doom 3 Marine stays is open in this explanation. --Gunnar.offel (talk) 15:10, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Citation issue?

In the opening paragraphs, there are 2 citations for the following claim:

According to designer John Romero, the Marine is meant to represent the player.

Neither of the linked articles has any source from John Romero stating that that was his opinion or intent. One of them doesn't even mention John Romero's name, and is pure speculation on the subject.

Given what I know of the DOOM franchise, and of the opinions of FPS game designers at the time, I suspect that Romero really did intend that as the article claims. Is there a better source to cite, though? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JMCatron (talk • contribs) 16:36, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Protection

I think this page needs semi protection. Because many users are changing this article without login to Wikipedia. If I'm right then do it and if I'm wrong delete this.--Tow7864 (talk) 03:36, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just because we're IP, it doesn't mean we can't contribute to Wikipedia. Also you're literally on wikipedia for only 4 days and you're reverting now someone's edit. Its considered vandalism. When you created a non-notable school like Narayanpur High School, I don't believe you know Wikipedia rules yet. 180.194.149.181 (talk) 04:10, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Could you both please remain civil. Reversions made in a good-faith effort to improve the article are not vandalism. Tow7864, semi protection isn't for high-volume IP editing but for unconstructive editing by new or unregistered users. I haven't reviewed all the edits, but it seems they are also good-faith improvement efforts (I'm especially a fan of the reference fixes, often thankless work).

@180.194.149.181 I may create a new account or old it doen't mean anything as you are not login in that means you are also new because there is no evidance that you are old!. And if my school is wrong then it should be deleted but that is not your work. You think this edit was right?[1]?--Tow7864 (talk) 05:44, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
