== (Notable) Forerunner Names ==

There seems to be some dispute over who qualifies as a "notable" Forerunner...

On the one hand, there are those that believe that any Forerunner's whose names are noted in the games, novels, anime, etc should be considered "notable" or worthy of mention. On the other hand, there appear to be those who feel that only those Forerunners who actually '''''did something''''' noteworthy should be included in in that section. Before we start a potential edit war over personal opinion of what constitutes "notable", perhaps we should hammer out guidelines on that particular subject, to avoid needless reversions. Oh, and for the record, it's my own personal opinion that "Filial Devotion" isn't a Forerunner's name, and thus I do agree that it should be removed from the list, because the nature of the the content to which it is attached (Halo 3 Terminal 7) strongly indicates that the writer of the letter is the one who fired the Array. Based on the fact that it's not the Didact (Specifically, not the Ur-Didact because the symbol isn't his), the evidence suggests to me that this was a communication from Bornstellar to his father before he "pushed the button" so to speak. In this instance, I believe that "Filial Devotion" was meant to be a form of salutation, along the lines of "Sincerely Yours" or "Yours Truly".
