Name
This page should be "Black Walder Frey", not "Walder Frey (Black)". What naming conventions require it to be "Walder Frey (Black)"? If anything, he's officially credited as "Black Walder".--The Dragon Demands (talk) 20:41, November 21, 2012 (UTC)
- Naming conventions indicate that the article title must be the character's name and use "(xxxxxxxxx)" for disambiguation, that's the reason we have Brandon Stark (the Builder) and not Bran the Builder and also Rhaenys Targaryen and Rhaenys Targaryen (sister of Aegon I).--Gonzalo84 (talk) 03:35, December 3, 2012 (UTC)
- Oh...well "Walder Frey (Black Walder)" is okay, it's just that the earlier "Walder Frey (Black)" sounded like a descriptor (I.e. "the Walder Frey who is ethnically black").--The Dragon Demands (talk) 03:53, December 3, 2012 (UTC)

I knew he was supposed to look like a weak-chinned, weasely son of a bitch...but I'm surprised they managed to find someone that ugly.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 05:39, April 29, 2013 (UTC)
Merging with Walder Rivers
http://viewers-guide.hbo.com/game-of-thrones/season-3/episode-9/people/15/black-walder-rivers
Just ignore updated viewer guide? I know it contradicts that book continuity, but does it change anything from the show? It seems to square up that Black Walder Rivers is a composite of Black Walder Frey and Walder Rivers into one and recast from S1. Is he called "Frey" ever on-screen or other behind-the-scenes material? The original casting post from WinterisComing.net site sources it to the actor's website and it's only "Black Walder" there http://www.timplester.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=728 Ardilaun (talk) 02:51, April 22, 2014 (UTC)
We don't know how much input the show's production has over the Viewer's Guide. Until someone like Brian Cogman addresses this issue I vote to keep it as such.--Gonzalo84 (talk) 03:07, April 22, 2014 (UTC)
We have no idea how much input the production team has over the Viewer's Guide. Yes, we need to consider the possibility that the Frey...herd may have certain condensations in the TV series.
But Walder Rivers prominently appeared as a separate character in Season 1.
I mean, if you think about it, the entire argument centers on "Walder Frey has a bastard son also named Walder"...which is sort of like revealing that "the sun rises in the east". How do we know they're the same bastard?
But I am reticent to update Black Walder's page with that Viewer's Guide info until on-screen dialogue confirms it.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 03:11, April 22, 2014 (UTC)
