Leoben / Number Two

This warrants an own article, just as there are various articles for the different Sixes. The main Leoben Conoy is a very specific character with a distinct history, whereas Number Two is an introduction and lists various other appearances. It's really the same as with Six. We don't have one article there either. -- Serenity 13:03, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree that "Kara's Leoben" deserves a separate article, but disagree with the current division of the articles into "Number Two" and "Leoben Conoy". Prior to "Six of One" all' copies of Two are referred to as "Leobens" by both Cylons and humans. And we don't have separate D'Anna Biers/Number Three articles either.
In conclusion, I think the Leoben and Number Two articles should be merged, with only "Virtual Leoben" and maybe "Gemenon Traveler/New Caprica Leoben" as separate articles (although I'm not sure of what the name for his article should be, so I'd still leave him here). Having the Ragnar copy together with the Gemenon Traveler/New Caprica copy (assuming they're the same) in one article is like merging the Armistice Station copy of Six into the Caprica Six article. It's possible that they're the same, but it's highly conjectural. Ausir 13:10, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Well, that's a problem with this whole number crap, which is annoying to begin with. It's mostly a matter of definition. The Colonials, just like we, use the assumed name for all models only because they/we don't know the number. So earlier articles probably refer to them like "a Leoben model" or something like that. But it's not really worth it to go back and correct everything in all previous articles. However, I'd definitely say that the Starbuck Leoben is the Leoben, while the other models are more like a Leoben. Now we would call the "Number Two" in a general way. So for me, the separation fits as it is.
You may have a point about the Ragnar Anchorage copy though :) We could move that into the main article. -- Serenity 13:21, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
