I would say that you are not interested in the player-behind-the-keyboard. I can think of all sorts of potential articles for "player". If nothing else, it makes an easy reference to the people who play the game: the Marathon community. Plural forms of words are (or should be) redirected to the singular form. "Players" will redirect to "Player". The article could easily talk about the estimated number of players the game has had during its lifetime, talk about the number now, talk about what keeps the players playing, and include links to more thorough articles of all of the above. But whatever. This is all irrelevant for now. The player is not the player-character and as such there should never be a collision on their articles, whether the articles exist now or never will. The wiki should handle the possibility of articles for both because it is theoretically possible for both to exist and because there is no harm in making the distinction. Sorry for getting a little snippy, but I really just want some sort of agreement so I can start updating a wiki no-one even reads. Semantics are great, and even relevant, but this particular hair-splitting is not needed now and is just getting in the way.
