The only reason why I created these lists in the first place is because most of these articles weren't real encyclopedic articles, but plot summaries centering around one character or fictional biographies written from an in-universe perspective. From a real world perspective, there's not much you can say about the characters without reiterating the plots of the game and the Resident Evil 4 characters demostrate that (the Ramon Salazar and Bitores Mendez articles were pretty pathetic to be honest).
I don't know why someone persists on splitting HUNK from this list. There's not much you can say about him from a real world perspective, other than he appeared as a hidden character in two games. Jonny2x4 01:06, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
True. HUNK did appear in a total of three games, but his only notable role is still in RE2. In RE4, he was merely a bonus character in a non-plot minigame and I don't count his appearance in the Outbreak games since he was only accessible through game modifying cheat devices (which I think constitute copyrights infringement). Marvin has appeared in a total of three RE games (RE2, RE3 and Outbreak 2), but his primary role is still in RE2.
As for HUNK'a face. I don't think it's revelant enough from a real-world perspective (especially since the character is seen more and seems more like trivia. Likewise, anyway who wants to see the Resident Evil 3 epilogues could get them from any fansite like vgmuseum.

I think HUNK needs his own page. I came on here looking up info about him and all I found was this article and it wasn't enough. I mean, the guy has 3 different action figures that I know of, that's more then Wesker I think. Why not just give him his own page? There is alot of info about him and I feel it needs to be on wikipeida. Wieners 16:33, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
HUNK has a fair amount of information in the Resident Evil Archives book, and this article pretty much covers it. I do think he should be shown unmasked here as well though, it makes it easier for people. What's the relevance to Killzone? There are a lot of similarities between LOTS of soldiers and the HUNK design. Who cares?
HUNK should recieve his own page for the same reason that Leon has his. Although there isn't as much info regarding HUNK as Leon, that doesn't detract from the fact that he is a character in the RE universe. Likewise, the other characters on the list are worthy of their own articles as well. I'm sure if someone put as much effort into an article regarding someone like Chris Redfeild or Jill Valentine, that a HUNK article would be possible. Also pistures of him in his masked and unmasked states would be useful.
HUNK should have his own page separate from my main argument, look the whole talk page is about him. also it's the fact that he is a "playable character"that separates him from marvin. also you can count the fact that he is essentialy to resident evil what chameleon is to Mortal combat but... he has a story line and background info. also look at all of the other separate RE character pages all they are is one gigantic filler with nothing telling of relationships with other characters or their personality.

HUNK can easily have his own page. With Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, there is a LOT of information on all the characters from the first four RE games in the "Archives" section, and HUNK has some additional stuff there, too. There are also rumors that Capcom expects HUNK to have a more important role in Resident Evil 5 somehow, so we'll soon see what kind of information we can get on HUNK.
I removed the part about Hunk being in Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles for the Wii, since there has been no reliable or official information regarding this. SeraphisCain 18:30, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
I've always seen "HUNK" spelled in all capital letters when referring to him. Though it was only 3 times: During and at the end of the Fourth Survivor, his signature on his report found in Code Veronica, and in The Mercenaries in Resident Evil 4. Yet, in the article here his name is never once spelled in all capital letters. Was there some discussion on the matter that I'm not privy to? Wildodeelf 10:32, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games regarding the status of individual character articles and a proliferation of articles dealing with RE fiction. Please join in if you are interested. Ham Pastrami ( talk) 00:05, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Frankly, I'm very disappointed that this edit war has been going on for two weeks and not one editor on either side has attempted to discuss the problem here. Due to the continued edit warring, I've fully protected the page. Please discuss the problem on this page. A couple of you have already violated WP:3RR more than once, so be warned that edit warring after protection is removed may well result in blocks. -- Sabre ( talk) 21:58, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
Ok, it's scenario is the same as Hunk's, but he(?) is another character hidden in the game, and should be mentioned. This soldier is a block of tofu (alga-gel), and he only differs in the graphic and the opening-screen from the soldier, Hunk - and that it is a harder version of Hunk, as it has more limited resources and only a kinfe as weapon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.133.27.75 ( talk) 14:01, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
