Why do we not have a section for characters from Portable Ops? There are several introduced, such as Gene, Python, Elisa/Ursula, etc... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 32.178.104.167 ( talk) 04:04, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
An anon above had stated that the characters from this game are omitted from this list. They also pointed out that there are several characters we could add. I'd also like to state that Portable Ops is indeed canon to the Metal Gear series. Someone needs to add a section for Portable Ops and put the characters in it. 134340Goat ( talk) 03:48, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
So should we make a section for it? Like I said, it's an important game in the series. 134340Goat ( talk) 04:31, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
I think we should. 71.251.166.213 ( talk) 02:45, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
I apologize in advance if I seem pesky or annoying, but I am not getting any responses for the above section called "Portable Ops". We must add a section for characters in this game. If you disagree, then please state why. 134340Goat ( talk) 04:43, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
This is still unresolved. 134340Goat ( talk) 08:15, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
Please, please, PLEASE respond to this. State why you would or would not add this section. 134340Goat ( talk) 20:25, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
So is there a general consensus here or not? A simple "yes" or "no" plus rationale will do, unless we must bring this to a vote. 134340Goat ( talk) 20:08, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
I am considering a merge of Sniper Wolf back into the main article. I think the article's scope is limited, and Sniper Wolf was demerged without discussion. Unless we can find more reliable sources, I believe we should merge Sniper Wolf back into Metal Gear. Any comments or objections? Darth Sjones23 ( talk - contributions) 16:17, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
It's Sniper Wolf, also no. -- Niemti ( talk) 16:28, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
And by no I mean don't. No more reliable sources are even needed at all, because it's already complete (unless someone wants to check some reviews for what they said, but that's not me). Or paper magazines for something from before 2006 and especially from 1996 (or 1997, for awards), but I don't really see any urging need for that neither because it's more than enough already . -- Niemti ( talk) 16:41, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
But speaking of it, Psycho Mantis has loads of reception. I just never liked him, but maybe someone else does. -- Niemti ( talk) 16:52, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
I don't know. There are an awful lot of third party sources in the reception section for me to argue in favor in need of merging. However, a lot of the sources aren't really used very well. Quotes like "this character takes a special place in our hearts." doesn't serve much of a purpose. I kind of wonder if things were cleaned up some, with some more meaningful quotes, if it wouldn't be in better shape. (I don't know for sure though, I haven't gone to check the sources to see if there's much else to pull from them, and I tend to stay away from working on Character type articles very much for the very reason that there seems to be so much disagreement as to what the threshold is for notabilty with these characters.) Sergecross73 msg me 17:33, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
OK, close it already. Btw, it's B now. -- Niemti ( talk) 18:15, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi,
I have played a few Metal Gear games. I think "the Patriots" deserve a special article here, as they were a significant influence in the plots. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dajo767 ( talk • contribs) 07:44, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
Big Boss and Naked Snake are the same character, just with different codenames. So why do they have seperate sections? Heart of Destruction ( talk) 10:39, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
Meryl is listed in the chart as "main" in MGS2 when, from looking up transcripts, she plays no role in that game, outside of the non-canon, optional Snake Tale missions which are only in Substance, which I think would qualify her for either "guest" or "recurring".
