It is not "actually" known is Nerus is dead. Although it may look like it, there is too much speculation to say for certain. -Alosel 13:16, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm just going by what it says here ("Killed by Baal") as well as what I see. If you wish to dispute this, then feel free to do so. -therearenospoons 03:36, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wish to state my own speculation. Baal aims and opens a staff weapon pointed at Nerus. Shortly thereafter, Baal ship is destroyed by the Lucian Alliance. Whether Baal did shoot him or not is immaterial. If he did shoot, Nerus was either dead or incapacitated. If he did not shoot, depending on thier location in the Hat'ak, they might have made it to a scout ship. The only thing wrong with this is we don't see a scout ship launch from the Hat'ak. Either way, whether he was shot or not, it seems pretty clear that Nerus and several of Baal's clones are dead. ----Willie 12:07, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Even if Baal did not kill Nerus (unlikely), he certainly would not waste any effort to save him, or even allow him so save himself.

"false information" -> "disinformation"[edit]

I've changed the wording, as Nerus' information was accurate, it just wasn't complete, nor were his real intentions made known. I'm fully cognizant that the disinformation article defines such "information" as "false", but I think the definition of that word is sufficiently fluid to allow for inclusion of "failure to provide full disclosure".

It is a shame the content on this page has been effectively taken down[edit]

The redirect to List_of_Stargate_SG-1_characters#Goa'uld was quite useless to me.

I had to find an old version of this page to tell me anything remotely interesting about the subject.

There are more than enough wiki-tags to flag disputable and disputed content.

There were 40 attempts in Nov 2021 (by bots and others) to access the article via the character name.

How many of the people who wanted to read about this character were served by redirecting them to a page that told them nothing about the topic of interest?

How much harm would have been done by the imperfect content (with adequate tags for the purists) to the few people who wanted a quick reminder about the character?

Maybe the page would have been preserved if the character inspired fear about climate change. -2601:156:1:9D10:0:0:0:2AA4 (talk) 23:59, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
