It seems like nobody is going to voice any new opinions. So, what now? A vote? A discussion of what opinions that were already voice? Something else?
I wouldn't call it an ellipsis disagreement. by

Just a regular disagreement, really.
But, anyway. I'm of the opinion that a wiki is for information, so the page should be a catalog of assassination methods, as complete as we can be bothered to make it. That way people can look up what's been done before and/or use it to go browsing for ideas.
HOWEVER, I'm also of the opinion that really obvious stuff like "the agents shot her in the face" need not necessarily be there, because it's a safe bet the obvious, mundane stuff has been done before. I shouldn't think we really need a wiki to tell us that.
Perhaps as a compromise, one of your criteria could be "first time using a unique canonical feature," which would include stuff like Silenthunder's pushing her off Caradhras (probably; I share DawnFire's skepticism that no one's ever done that before) without the need to add in everyone's bows and swords and whatnot.

Honestly, I say just let the page contain whatever people want to add. It's one of the least informational pages on the Wiki: it's just for fun, so let people add their shove-off-mountains and stab-in-faces and shoot-in-foots, if they're proud of them.
Frankly, I think we have enough pages throughout the Wiki that "need" to be maintained as new missions come out, and I don't fancy this one being added to that list. (I didn't even know I had my own assassination on this page until I saw it on there just now.) Let's leave this one as a silly, informal "throw it on, if it please ya" page, and not create a need for regular debates about whether an assassination is or isn't notable.
Sounds reasonable to me. by

I agree with the listed terms. Assassinations happen in a majority of missions, and attempting to list every method is simply unfeasible and more hassle than it would ever be worth. If an assassination is listed on the page, it needs to be due to unique circumstances, a notable target, or extraordinary creativity from the agents.
I propose two pages. by

One of "notable" assassination methods (the current page) and a catalog of all assassinations. Briefly described, of course. That way we have a compilation of interesting methods, and a handy reference list that'll give all sorts of cool data, like the most common method of assassination in different continua. It will help keep us original, and think of new ways to assassinate Sues.
That being said, making the new list would be pretty hard. Someone would have to go through all of the missions and record the Sues' demise, and in a certain order. If such a page were made, I would suggest that a post be made asking all authors to make a list of their killed Sues and the ways they died. That would hopefully eliminate a fair share of active Boarders, leaving the inactive and those who simply didn't see the post. Do we have an up-to-date list of all PPCers?
I suggest in this way. by

I suggest that you arrange the methods of death as I try to show below.
Methods of death:
- Common:
- Impalement (Fic a, Fic b, Fic etc...)
- Heart Attack (Fic a, Fic b, Fic etc...)
- etc (Fic a, Fic b, Fic etc...)
- Ironic:
-Eg: Drinking the wrong Grail (In FATE/The Last Crusader, Sue Indianita Jonahness drank from Fate/Stay Night's Fuyuki Holy Grail instead of the wooden cup from Indiana Jones)
- TOS stuff
-Example a
-(Fic a, Description a)
-Example b
-(Fic b, Description b)
- Rare things
-Example a
-(Fic a, Description a)
-Example b
-(Fic b, Description b)
I hope I can make myself be understood.
Agree with this 100%. by

You already know my stance on this, I'm just restating it here for everyone else.
