# Talk:Lord Viren

Should this article be nominated for GA status? I feel that this article is ready for GAN. DarkFallenAngel (talk) 17:03, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

Preferably not yet. I'd like at least a copyedit, if nothing else, to happen first. PanagiotisZois (talk) 08:33, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
Oh, oops, I didn't read the peer review before I took the copy edit request because I have watched the show. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 23:20, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

Hey, I'm going to be reviewing this article. Expect comments by the end of the week. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 14:32, 16 June 2021 (UTC)


### Basic stuff and comments
Infobox and lead
Don't use WP:SMALLFONT in the infobox.
Done.
Add alt text to the character's image.
@Some Dude From North Carolina: Done. I haven't done alt text in a long time, so I hope the description I wrote is good enough. Not sure if I should also mention his race / skin colour. --PanagiotisZois (talk) 15:18, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
Use "plainlist" instead of <br>
Done
Feel free to remove unused parameters.
Done
The lead is well-written; no issues there.
Other stuff
Add a serial comma after "master of dark magic".
Done.
Remove the comma after "recognizes the mirror".
Done.
Remove the comma after "exposes his treachery".
Done.
"when told is was" - typo?
My mistake. The sentence is saying that when the friend in question was "told he [Viren] was" practical, he agreed for his name to be used.
"Remove the comma after "retained its layers".
Done.
Slashfilm → /Film
Done.

### Progress
I still don’t understand how character pages for shows work how is it this guy has a full Wikipedia page while characters like Callum, Reila, Ezran, and Zim don’t. I’m still understanding how this works. 0Detail-Attention215 (talk) 16:03, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

Well, a large part of it has to do with notability. Now, as to why Viren has an article while Callum, Ezran, and Zym don't (Rayla actually does), the answer is quite simple. Because I wanted to create his article, but wasn't all that interested in the others. It's not rare for a character who's more of a supporting character to have their own article, while the main characters don't. Again, this circles back to notability. As you can see, Viren's article isn't just a biography, detailing his character from an in-universe perspective. There's an entire section dedicated to how the character was created, cast, and further developed, as well as a section detailing the response to Viren's character (one which is almost entirely positive, I might add). --PanagiotisZois (talk) 11:12, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
