Its amazing that Wikipedia had an article on Naomi Wildman, but not on Ensign Kim, whose a main character and whose actor is credited in the opening credits. But on deeper reflection, he's one of the more boring characters on Voyager. Perhaps the creators were afraid to offend Asians, so they made his character bland.

[edit] Harry Kim the mayor and Harry Kim the fictional character
I think we are going to have to turn this into a disambiguation page, pointing to Harry Kim (Star Trek) and Harry Kim (mayor). Normally, I'm loath to append "(Star Trek)" to the title of an article on a Star Trek character, but in this case it appears that the mayor may have a stronger claim to having the article "Harry Kim" without any parenthetical clarifications.

- I looked at Wikipedia:Naming conventions for guidance on this issue. I did not find anything that gave a clear directive to this specific case. But, given my understanding of the naming conventions, this is what I think we should do: like it or not, Harry Kim the fictional Star Trek character is more widely known so he keeps the article titled Harry Kim. Harry Kim the mayor gets Harry Kim (mayor). Robert Happelberg 14:29, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- I think it would be much more fair to use this page as a disambiguation page and link them to Harry Kim (fictional) and Harry Kim (politician). --Gerald Farinas 16:29, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)

- Agree with you the Council does, Gerald Farinas, except on the small detail of what to put in parenthesis for the fictional character. For Star Trek characters needing disambiguation, the usual format is characterName (Star Trek), so in this case we would have Harry Kim (Star Trek). Though I suppose Harry Kim(fictional) would be OK since as far as I know there are no other fictional universes besides Star Trek with a Harry Kim. ShutterBugTrekker 18:59, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Should future years be linked?
I'm of the opinion that future years should not be linked, because even if there are articles for those future years, most Wikipedians generally disapprove of putting fictional events in those articles. ShutterBugTrekker 21:00, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Middle names
Memory Alpha suggests that Kim's middle initials are S. L. Does anyone have a source on this or know what they stand for? 81.77.238.24 23:15, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
It is seen on a personnel file in the episode "Non Sequiter." ----Willie 09:00, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
