Talk:Whisper Man

Name
Surely this should follow wiki conventions and be named after the singular rather then plural? So "The Whisper Men" becomes "Whisper Man" ScotchAutopilot ☎  19:33, May 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * I agree. I tried to make a link to "The Whispermen" or "The Whisper Men" page and it's impossible. We never saw one individual alone over the episode, they only appeared as a group. Badwolff ☎  19:11, May 19, 2013 (UTC)

the thing is, in the episode, they were never, ever called Whisper Man. All the rhymes, they were all known as The Whisper Men, so me, the one who created this page, thinks that it should be the same. Although I did make the same mistake creating the Cybermite page, I think I have made the right choice. StevieGLiverpool ☎  21:22, May 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * Not to put too fine a point on it, but, um, you haven't. T:NAMING governs the naming of our articles, and it always preferences the singular over the plural, except in the case of "mass nouns".  Quite clearly, it's possible to count Whisper Men, so we go with the singular.  01:09: Sun 19 May 2013
 * I think we can allow a redirect at Whisper Men to save on typing, but definitely not at the Whisper Men. {{user:CzechOut/Sig} 01:12: Sun 19 May 2013


 * But there is both a page for "The Silent" (which I bet there are very few links to) and "The Silence" which refers to the group (and which I bet receives a lot of links, even when it's referring to a group and not THE group).What if "Whispermen" is, similarly, the name of the group? We don't see any solitary Whisper man. Badwolff ☎  19:15, May 19, 2013 (UTC)

Do you remember the Trickster with "Sarah Jane Adventures"? Is there a link between Trickster and Whisper Man?
 * Speculation belongs at Howling:The Howling, not here. Anoted ☎  18:06, May 19, 2013 (UTC)

"Kill with a whisper"?
I might have missed it but I didn't hear anyone say that The Whispermen's name "is derived from their ability to kill with a whisper". If this is true, why did they reach into to the hostages' bodies to grab their hearts when they could've just whispered? Badwolff ☎  19:24, May 19, 2013 (UTC)
