Talk:Assassination

The Banker

I was browsing through the Animus Database in ACB the other day, and was very surprise to find that it didn't include a single word about The Banker, one of the only actual 'Targets' ezio gets to assassinate in Brotherhood (not counting Templar Agents). I'm talking about that fat guy he assassinates in a memory well into the game.

I searched this wiki for anything about him, realized he isn't even mentioned in it. When typing "The Banker" in the search bar, I was redirected to an entry about some multiplayer character.

Compiling an entry about the character is, in my humble opinion, important for the completion of this wiki. DiamondBlade1 19:57, December 15, 2010 (UTC)

Vali cel Tradat

In Assassin's Creed: Revelations, Vali is assassinated by one of Ezio's apprentices, not Ezio himself. In fact, it is impossible for Ezio to assassinate Vali in any manner. Should Vali be moved to the list of Templar Agents in Constantinople? I don't want to simply edit it, because some of the Templar Agents (Cyril, Mirela, Odai and Lysistrata) are 'canonly' killed by Ezio himself, so they are 'his' victims, but are not a part of the main story.

You will just need to move him to targets killed by other assassin's then. 90.215.74.146 17:42, November 30, 2011 (UTC)

Maria Thorpe"

According to the page "Assassination targets were individuals that the Assassin Order deemed necessary of elimination.". Should Maria Thorpe be included on this list as she wasn't an actual target but a decoy. LancelotLoire (talk) 23:30, November 29, 2012 (UTC)

Deletion discussion

I see that Jasca marked this page for deletion, with a reason of "duplicate of Assassins#Known victims." I agree that is is somewhat a duplicate, but I don't think it should be deleted. I think that the "Known victims" section of the Assassins page should be merged with this page, as victims of the Assassins doesn't really give much info on the Assassin Order itself - which is the purpose of the Assassins page in the first place; that information, in my opinion, is irrelevant to the purpose of the Assassins page. nucl3arsnake (talk) 13:28, November 4, 2013 (UTC)

The article, in its current form, actually provides less information than the same section on the Assassins article (i.e. there are no dates of death, or victims from non-playable individuals). Frankly, I don't ever see there being enough information to warrant a completely separate article, as the impetus to keep the information all on one article will still be there. --Jasca Ducato _{Council Chamber} ^{Assassination record} 13:47, November 4, 2013 (UTC)

I was already planning on removing the list on the Assassins page as it is entirely unnecessary there, and put it here. -- Master Sima Yi _Talk 19:39, November 4, 2013 (UTC)

That's good to here. And Jasca, saying that isn't enough information to warrant a page is pretty much like saying that there isn't enough information on... well almost every stub article on the wiki to warrant a page. I also don't quite see how "the impetus to keep the information all on one article will still be there" just because it lacks a large amount of information, even when said information is completely irrelevant to the topic of the page. nucl3arsnake (talk) 21:47, November 4, 2013 (UTC)

Assassination targets offers us the opportunity to detail people killed by the Templars as well, so it would be more beneficial to merge the list from Assassins with this page and then detail the Templars' victims as well. For this reason, I am effectively swapping the delete template for a merge one, because it shows a better precedence to discuss a merge than to have conflicting opinions on the talk page of a semi-crucial page like this to decide a set-in-stone outcome.
