Talk:Ruvé Adams

Ruvé Darhk
After watching these episodes, it seems pretty overwhelming that Ruvé Adams isn't her real name.


 * 1) First, she used fake ID to avoid association with Damien Darhk in Blood Debts; if her real name was Ruvé Adams then the police wouldn't likely make the connection with Darhk and she wouldn't have to use fake ID (unless they knew Darhk's wife was called Ruvé Adams... in which case she wouldn't have stood for election under that name, claiming that she wasn't married). Would also be odd to use a completely different ID to the police if she knew that she would be standing for election the next month, as surely there was a decent chance the officers would realise that she had given them fake ID, as she became one of the most high profile people in the city during the campaign: there would be a serious risk that they would remember her and it would come out. So most likely the fake ID would have been under the name "Ruvé Adams".
 * 2) Secondly, Team Arrow researched her, and had her name as Ruvé Darhk in their systems (e.g. in Code of Silence). When she met Oliver he said: "Ms. Adams... I'm just curious, is Adams your maiden name?" afterwards, the conversation goes like:
 * 3) *Oliver, scornfully: "Ms. Adams"
 * 4) *Felicity: "More like Mrs. Deceitful-Darhk."
 * 5) *Oliver: "I feel like Adams probably polls better."
 * 6) *Diggle: "It's not like we can prove that Adams isn't her real last name."
 * 7) *Oliver: "How is our opposition research coming?"
 * 8) *Thea: "Uh, nothing yet. She's apparently clean, but the more we do digging into her and her background, the more likely she's gonna dig into ours."
 * So, they researched her, know that Ruvé Adams isn't her real name (even if they can't prove it), and seem 100% sure she's actually called Ruvé Darhk.

I understand how when the series was live, that's how she was referred to nearly all the time, with her name on the election posters etc., so readers would search for her by that name. And in April 2016, MakeShift moved the page back to Ruvé Adams saying:
 * Her name is not really clear, it's as if they call her "Ruvé Darhk" (and she's credited as such) due to her close association with Damien.

While that was true at the time, by the end of her time on the show, all of the evidence was pointing to the fact that this wasn't her real name, and she was most likely, in fact, called Ruvé Darhk.

Now that she's long since gone, what does anyone think about moving the article back to Ruvé Darhk, with a redirect from Ruvé Adams, and noting right at the start of the article that that was what she called herself during the election, as well as a summary about this in a Trivia section? -- xensyria T 13:10, February 22, 2018 (UTC)
