:Um, that's tricky, and we have to think of something here, but in general, I'd say no. That's just awkward. They're the same universe, but when reading something about ''Caprica'', I'm reading from that show's POV, which is generally present tense. When including ''Caprica'' information into a TNS article, present tense fits though. Or for people who are dead. -- [[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 16:40, 7 April 2008 (UTC) | :Um, that's tricky, and we have to think of something here, but in general, I'd say no. That's just awkward.

Deletion?
Why the delete tag? We have articles for characters from upcoming BSG episodes, like Emily Kowlski and Reza Hebrides, so I don't see why we can't have articles for Caprica ones as well. Ausir 12:57, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- I second that. -- Noneofyourbusiness 14:03, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- Agreed. It's subject to change of course, but is confirmed by two sources so far. -- Serenity 14:07, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- Fourthed. (Is that a word?) If the information changes, we can nuke the article, but so far it is supported by reliable sources. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus 14:21, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- Removed, but we should probably cite both these sources in the article. OTW 14:33, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
By the way, since the RDM episodes are written in present tense (regarding information on status as of the last episode), I assume all Caprica info should be written in past tense, even when the show is on air? Ausir 15:27, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
