This is going to be the first of two or three of these lists we will be posting over the course of our evaluation, and represents exactly one quarter of all Sue pages currently on the wiki. If anyone in the community feels a Sue page slated for deletion that they did not write deserves to be kept, speak up!
Note: Original Series Sues have automatic immunity from deletion, since the consensus seems to be that they are all notable. However, since they may need re-write, they will only appear on the list of pages to be kept after they have been reviewed by two people who both agree that no re-writing is needed.
The following Sues (for the purposes of these pages, Stus fall into the category of Sue) have been deemed by at least two individuals who have never written a Sue page before to not meet the criteria the community felt a Sue needed to meet in order to deserve a page. Total on this list: 22

I can tell you, at least on Heather, that I don't consider her that special. I've read the mission in question (since I follow the exploits of Cadmar and company) and there really isn't that much special about Heather- she's a wraith, and long term possession has been known to cause nasty side effects. Granted, genderbending is unique, and yes, I was (slightly) on the fence on this one. However, her uniqueness seems to mostly deal with her importance to Cadmar, and the consensus us reviewers came to was that Sues whose only importance is to individual agents are not (usually) notable. I'd like to know what others think about this. If the community really likes this page, well, I think we should keep it.
As for Emily... maybe. Others should weigh in on that too, but I'm much less on the fence with her.
Strictly my own opinions:
The thing with Heather is that she managed to posses Cadmar because of a faulty dummy. Which means that it had less to do with Heather and more to do with the dummy and the agents. It made for a superinteresting mission, but that doesn't necessarily translate to a superinteresting Sue.
About Emily: Wraits are well established, but I'll admit that I haven't seen other, who started out as OCs and then switched over to possessing a canon character. But it seem more like a variation on a theme, than something new.
Would it be possible to include a brief summary about each?
About what? As to who they are, or as to why they are being deleted/kept? If the former, I can provide links for all of them (although that's kind of time consuming, and they can all be found in the slain Sue category) but if the latter, well, I didn't even write down my reasons for deletions- it's a lot easier to say why a Sue should be kept than why it should be deleted, since keeping one involves something special you can point to, where as a deletions tend to be a lack of anything interesting to say about them.
