You closed the healthy discussion we were having on the "My Stuff" thread, and blocked me from edited the "Raza" page (I actually held off on editing my point of view onto the page precisely because we were discussing what to do, so blocking me from it is kind of offensive given the fact that I wasn't vandalizing it). Furthermore: "Administrators should not use their administrator powers to settle editing disputes; for example, to lock a page on a version he or she prefers in an editing dispute that isn't vandalism. Administrator powers should be used to help keep the wiki clear of vandalism, spam, and users who make malicious edits, but not for simple disagreements between users acting in good faith. Ideally an admin shouldn't be considered "in charge". The ideal admin is just someone who is trusted to have a few extra buttons and to use them for the benefit of the Wikia community." So you're in violation of the rules pertaining to administrators.

Relating to Raza, here is the policy on character status: "Status refers to the current status of the character as of the character's last appearance or mention. Status list Alive: The default status for a character. Deceased: Used for characters who have been confirmed as having died in their last appearance or mention. In Custody: Used for characters who are alive, but are currently imprisoned and/or deprived of freedom. Unknown: Used for characters whose status has been intentionally left ambiguous by Marvel Studios. As such, very few characters fall under this category (e.g. Red Skull, Franklin Hall or Donnie Gill)." (emphasis added) Under these criteria, seeing as how Raza is not confirmed dead, he falls into rare category of "Unknown". In fact, while I agree that the Red Skull's fate is ambiguous; if anything, given what we see and hear in the scene with his final fight against Captain America, he's the one who shouldn't qualify for the "Unknown" category (Rogers flat out says "Schmidt's dead", and "HYDRA died with the Red Skull)! My point is, if the criteria for "unknown" loose enough to include the Red Skull, it's loose enough to include Raza.

In one final, desperate point, you have the ability to look into a page's edit history. I invite you to look at the Ten Rings page here on this wiki, where you'll find the following quote, under the section "Kidnapping of Tony Stark": "Days later in the desert, the Ten Rings found the remains of the armor Stark used to escape and rebuilt it, informing Stane about it. Ten Rings commander Raza proposed a deal with Obadiah Stane, he would give him the armor free of charge only if Stane supplied him with an army of Iron Soldiers. Obadiah refused, instead paralysing Raza and taking the suit. Stane's men then executed the remaining Ten Rings soldiers, and possibly Raza.[3]". Look at the edit history for the page, and you'll see it wasn't me who put "and possibly Raza" there. This is proof that I'm not delusional and alone in thinking his fate is ambiguous, which in turn bolsters my position that Raza does not have the hard confirmation of being deceased that inclusion in that category requires. If this can't be settled between us, I recommend a vote with both of us being allowed to make our cases and letting the wiki public decide Raza's status: Unknown or Deceased.
