How are we defining supplemental materials with regards to this list? It has clearly been decided that ''Allan and the Sundered Veil'' and the ''New Traveler's Almanac'' are not supplemental. I would argue that much of the dossier material seen in the Black Dossier is not really supplemental but an integral part of the novel. It is not, in my opinion, 'extra' to the story, but is more of a formal experiment in terms of blending various styles of storytelling. If we exclude those three sources, what is left as supplemental? I don't think it makes sense to add every character mentioned on the boardgame, for example.

Billy Bunter was a classmate of Harold Wharton, a.k.a, Big Brother, but he wasn't Big Brother himself, I believe, as Billy is still alive, and Jimmy Bond killed Wharton. I'm changing it. |

Hornblower not Nelson
Horatio Hornblower does not replace Nelson in the world of League. In the last, unfinished, Hornblower novel he is responsible for leading the French into a trap at Trafalgar that is sprung by Nelson, basically becoming responsible for Nelson's victory, thereby becoming more important to the victory, which is why Hornblower's statue appears in Trafalgar square rather than Nelson's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Khat Wordsmith (talk • contribs) 09:13, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
Lint?
"Jelly Result" appears in a book stand, so do you think Jeff Lint should be added (he is, of course, from Steve Aylett's "Lint")? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.113.229.35 (talk) 16:07, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
Scope
What is the scope of this list supposed to be? Should we include only characters that actually appear, or actually have a part in the plot, or are we including--as the current list would suggest--all literary characters that have been indicated to exist or have existed in the world of LOEG?

Billy Bunter, Big Brother?
Billy Bunter was a classmate of Harold Wharton, a.k.a, Big Brother, but he wasn't Big Brother himself, I believe, as Billy is still alive, and Jimmy Bond killed Wharton. I'm changing it.
