'''This is currently a heated debate among our sysops, and since we've reached a standstill on conversations, I'll be putting up a vote regarding our Warrior criteria policy. This is specifically towards warriors who are a stage presense portrayed by an actor, such as a magician with combat in his act or a WWE fighter.''' 

Admins/Bureaus, please choose one of these propositions. After we all settle on our votes, I'll give a week for us to discuss and change our opinions, and then our consensus will be implemented when we go over policy later this year as a note under warrior criteria.

A) Stage Peformers, nor the personas they portray should not be used as warriors. It is too difficult to seperate the two entities ans this will lead to massive confusion in voting and creating a profile page, so unless the actor themselves have demonstrated combat abilities outside of their performance, they should not be counted or even considered. Since all the actions on stage are part of a predetermined act, nothing they do should be considered as real combat.

B) Both the performer and the role they play should be considered as equally correct candidates for a warrior, similar to actors such as Bruce Lee, who fit this criteria. The stage personas follow a coherent narrative, and can be considered their own enity with abilities and powers, as well as the person who is acting as them.

C) The Personas do not follow a coherent narrative, and each fight, if we're even calling them a story, follow a different line of logic, therefore to create a single profile for someone like "Hulk Hogan" would be the equivilant of creating a composite character. However, the actors themselves should have feats demonstrated in preformances considered and be qualified as warriors if they perform combat in their act.

D) Only the personas should be considered, as the actors themselves are inseperable from the roles that they portray. I.E., we should not have a "Hulk Hogan" profile and a "Terry Gene Bollea" profile at the same time.

Please say if you support a different argument than those listed above.

Personally I argument A. I do not think we should make our wiki's policy a mess over the one or two fringe battles that include these "warriors".
