- We know that the producers don't include things for random. This person probably has some sort of meaning, even if a minor one. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lilduff90 (talk • contribs) .

Seriously...not important AT ALL. -- Sam McPherson T C E 20:22, 8 August 2008 (PDT)
- Keep! they may be minor but they have multiple appearances! and the upside down shot in the orchid film is not the same clip as the barracks orientation film(the orchid one is in front of the tree while the barracks one is in front of a picnic table). --Daviddesmondhume (talk) 21:05, January 4, 2018 (UTC)
- Keep: he is a character that appeared in both the Barracks video and Orchid Orientation film outtakes , so he has appeared more than Opal, Casey, Dharma Rep 1, etc (even though he doesn't talk or has an identified name). He isn't any less important than Dharma Rep. 1 or other breifly-seen Dharma workers. -- CTS Talk Contribs 21:17, 8 August 2008 (PDT)
- Keep due to multiple appearances, even though he is uncredited. --Blueeagleislander 21:39, 8 August 2008 (PDT)
- Keep Hes had more than one show and probably not but may have some importance conoreff
- First of all - minor credited characters, such as Dharma Rep. 1 are always to be considered of more importance than minor uncredited characters. simply because we know they are there for a reason - uncredited characters (especially those with no lines) might just be props.
- Secondly - has the man (how do we know its not a woman, btw?) really made two appearances, or is it just the same clip being used twice? If the latter is true, there absolutely are no reason what so ever to keep this article.
- And last - there is nothing in this article that can't be said in the articles about the two videos the characters are seen in. It might be that the character will have some importance in the show, but to make such a claim at the moment (which we do by giving him an article) is just speculation, which we all know belongs to Lostpedia's theory pages.

The camera focused on him a bit before turning to Pierre in the welcome video when Jack and crew watched it. Significant?--Mistertrouble189 03:59, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
- I think he is meant to demonstrate the idyllic (hippie) lifestyle at the Dharma Barracks. But it's been shown again and again, so it's either somewhat significant or a fun in-joke. Either is notable! --Sfoskett 22:39, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Merge with Earl[]
This man is Earl. There's only one red-haired DHARMA extra in 3x20. Sroczynski (talk) 05:29, August 23, 2012 (UTC)
- We can't make that assumption. The same clip of the guy riding a bike was shown in the Barracks video when Earl is in the processing center.--Baker1000 (talk) 01:12, January 26, 2013 (UTC)
Oh come on, the black guy and the old man also in the clip when they were at the processing center. This isn't assumption, it's clearly him. Sroczynski (talk) 10:18, January 26, 2013 (UTC)
- One extra may well play both parts. But that doesn't mean they're the same character. In fact, the Man on bike appears in the Barracks video when Earl is processed for the first time, and Earl watches the man on the screen. That seems to say that they are quite clearly different people.
- (The current "Earl" page tries to resolve that contradiction by saying "Later, Earl appeared in the new edition of the Barracks video." But this is incorrect, so I'm removing it - I see no evidence of two video editions, and even if there were two videos, the Man on bike appears in both of them.) --- Balk Of Fame ♪ talk 12:59, January 26, 2013 (UTC)
- Wait, hold on. We've got an image on the Earl page, allegedly from the Barracks video, of Earl in his labeled jumpsuit. That must be our source for the name "Earl." So the man on the bike, the man who appears in the Barracks video - he is indeed named Earl. But the man who the Earl page currently describes? He isn't Earl at all. He's an unnamed background character.
- Adding to the confusion, that image is currently named "Carl" because it's hard to read exactly what the suit says. Does anyone know exactly where that image is from so we can look closer? --- Balk Of Fame ♪ talk 13:14, January 26, 2013 (UTC)
