Talk:List of Sailor Moon characters/Archive 1

message: My response to finding out about the Moroboshi Takuya article was not to merge it, but to delete it. The character appears in one episode and isn't even notable enough to be a minor character. With nearly 200 monsters-of-the-day, none of which have more than a paragraph of backstory, this kind of thing is totally superfluous. --Masamage 05:52, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Sprite is a fan term, I believe the official terms is either Guardian or Sailor Guardian. Shouldn't fan terms be purged? I need people to support this. I can dig up the support for the official term. The sprite comes from the often incorrect Tomb of the Unknown Senshi. Also I would say that the Sailor Guardians should be put all on one page and not have Guardian Cosmos alone. (Power Guardian is also a fan term.)

replies: text: Use Colons... Anyhow... Volume 15, Act 41, Page 82 has the term, however, it's in Japanese and English *smirks* I would go for the katakana since the other attacks use the katakana as well, though on the main page the Japanese might be worth noting. Umm... and Ian Miller would say to go with the Japanese, however, Rainbow Honeymoon Therapy Kiss plus a bunch of the other attacks clearly go with the Katakana, NOT the kanji. So this too should conform. セーラーパワーガーヂイアン So the FULL term is Sailor Power Guardian, NOT power Guardian or Sailor Guardian. I should also note that the manga says on that page "Sailor Princess" which might be worth noting on the Sailor Senshi page. However, their titles in the artbook read "Guardian" _heavenly body_ So for example, it wouldn't be Sailor Power Guardian Cosmos, but Guardian Cosmos.. >.<;; Oy, complex.

message: I know they dated anime side, but I'm pretty sure they didn't date Manga. Also is it worth noting that Naoko said that Umino was her favorite character to draw because he was the easiest to draw (I think she specified time in the video. I can ask a friend for the video in question.) Naoko has also said that he's a bishounen underneath his glasses, which was a previous theme in the Sailor V manga too. Anyway, can anyone confirm the manga match up? --Hitsuji Kinno 10:41, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I couldn't find anything in the manga about the two of them being an item. That's less precise then finding something that specifically says they aren't, though. Kunzite put that tidbit in there right at the beginning, with the inclusion of Naru, though since apparently it was a merging of other articles, who knows.

replies: text: Let's combine these as much as possible. RattleMan has a really good shot of Usagi's whole family, and I bet we can get Yuuichirou and Grandpa together, too. There's also the problem that some of these characters are so minor the implications scare me. We really can't include random victims-of-the-day like Mikan who don't affect the story; if we do, we have to include all of them, and that's well over a hundred. Scary scary scary. --Masamage 17:48, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Agreed. With many of them, we've even made an effort to combine them (like the Tsukino parents, and the Temple characters). I think we could probably do more--add Shingo to the family shot, combine Naru and Umino, that sort of thing. The Naruru/Ruruna/Hanmatsuura shots are also going to be moved to a new sidestory article as soon as we have time to build it. Certainly removing all of them is not necessary. The live-action shot of Motoki can probably go, however; two shots of one character is probably not defensible, especially considering he doesn't look all that special. --Masamage ♫ 04:11, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

If the door you're referring to is the one in this shot, I'm not sure that's necessarily a name--it could have something to do with the building. A search on kohan gets me (among other things) 古版, meaning 'old edition', but only the first kanji matches what's on the door. I can't find the second kanji at all, with or without the 'ko' in front of it. Searching for Kohan in the name directory gets a lot of hits, but nothing with 古 in it.

replies: text: Oh, the fake Phobos and Deimos thing you are talking about might be from the Super Musical, where the Manechas dressed up as the birds and Haruka and Michiru (which there was a remake scene in Last Dracul). The reason why they aren't listed is because the people acting as the Manechas imitated Phobos, Deimos, Haruka & Michiru, so only the Manechas (Death Ra, Ri, Ru & Re) are listed as cast (complicated right?).

message: I'm proposing the merge-in of the Ail, Ann, and Makaiju characters to this article. My reason is that that article is almost 100% plot, even the character sections, so if you removed all but what was absolutely necessary there'd be about two paragraphs left, combined. The characters themselves appear in only 13 episodes of one of the adaptations and are never thought of or mentioned again; I don't think they get any outside coverage, either. Naru fares much better, and she's in the list. So I think they should be moved, and their images deleted (except maybe the one in the infobox).
I also think that, once we move them here, we should change our treatment of their names to either Eiru and An or Ali and En. The first is the correct transliteration of their names, but is never used anywhere. The second is inaccurate pun-preservation, but is used in the official English sub release. Whichever we choose, it's time to face up to Ail and Ann being fan spellings. --Masamage ♫ 17:30, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

That's why I propose to merge the contents into this page, with Cosmos having a sub-section under ChibiChibi.

replies: text: Actually, my suspicion goes the other way--that the Starlights will probably end up here soon enough. :/ Once we get our anime and manga plot summaries down, we can remove the plot summaries from their article, which will leave it extremely short and perfect to be merged into a longer list. --Masamage ♫ 16:43, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Kakyuu 

message: It's a pun. Umino... Umi can also mean Pus (膿)... different kanji, but I think the pun was meant. Gurio refers to a poet... Griot. (According to the Jeffrey's dictionary which also states there are no names in native Japanese that are Gurio, but it still is used as a name in katakana) So Poet of Pus? Might be an alternate. http://linear.mv.com/cgi-bin/j-e/jis/nihongo-de/FG=b/BG=w/dosearch?sDict=on&sName=on&H=PS&L=J&T=gurio&NOFUZZY=on&wc=none  At least the pus part I'm pretty sure of. =P That's why you should name your kid Kai if you want to name them after the sea.--Hitsuji Kinno (talk) 04:54, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I dunno... I can't think of any reason why this character is obviously associated with either pus or African bards. Since the kanji for "sea" is specifically used, and since Umino is only gross in that he's annoying, and since he's neither poetic nor African (though he does tell stories), I think this would be way too much speculation to put in the article. --Masamage ♫ 07:03, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Where did a lot of these dub surnames come from? Particularly those of Umino, Motoki (and Unazuki), and Yuuichirou. I can't recall any of these surnames being used in the English dub at all. Same goes for the dub first name of Naru's mother. --72.77.253.36 (talk) 05:11, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dub surnames? 

message: Where did this romanazation come from. Our previous sources indicated that the two names were blatantly supposed to read Alien. Ail and En. Eiru is just a bad romanazaion. Lego3400:  The Sage of Time (talk) 04:32, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The katakana for his name are e i ru. It's a literal transcription. --Masamage ♫ 17:21, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I have a source to back up my claim however (and considering it's me that's a shocker!). And it's one we're familiar with too. Dies Gaudii has a lengthy article on this. (Actully he uses Al (and En) but it's better then Eiru), And since we're alway looking for more sources to back up our claims I propose we use these translations (As they do hold more weight then ours) Lego3400:  The Sage of Time (talk) 19:46, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. I'd rather have Al, Ail, or Ali than "Eiru". If we were using the literal katakana transcriptions we would have things like "Seeraa Nepuchuun" instead of Sailor Neptune or "Runa Shukuru Kyandi" instead of Luna Sucre Candy. Sentōkisei (talk) 19:04, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  I just did a pass on the page to get rid of "Ail" and "Ann" because these are not the character's names.  They're fanon mistakes, as one of the sources in this discussion points out.  I've switched them over to "Al" and "En", which are at least correct.  I'd ask that they not be changed back to "Ail" and "Ann" without a valid source. Rebochan (talk) 09:28, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Eiru? 

message: I propose to rename this page into "List of Sailor Moon characters", since several of the characters are not minor, but have a larger role that can be considered "supporting" or "secondary". Such is the case of Naru, Helios, Chibichibi or Kakyuu. With the proposal of the split of the Silver Millennium into several other pages, Queen Serenity would be placed in this article. At the beginning of the article, two sections would be added: one for Protagonists, that will include links to the ten Senshi and Tuxedo Masks, and one for Antagonists, with links to the 5 major villain groups.
Furthermore, I propose to merge Luna, Artemis, and Diana into this article. Though the cats have a strong presence in the whole series, their article have not managed to prove Wikipedia:Notability outside the series, which is one of the premises for a separate article. This merge would not represent loss of content of the Luna, Artemis, and Diana article, since all the information will be place under a new section called "The cats" (or whatever name someone else proposes). To avoid having an extremely large article, the Makaiju section can be placed in the Sailor Moon R article under a "New characters" section, in a similar fashion to the movies.
Thoughts? --LoЯd ۞pεth 21:06, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Rename proposal 

message: I have been thinking about nominating this for FLC soon. I think we should merge the film characters into this article if its possible and trim down the  trim down most of the character sections for a well-written, well-sourced list. We should use Template:GNR and Template:Cite episode for episodes and manga chapters, respectively. I highly suggest looking at the following article series as an example:
*List of Naruto characters (FL)
*List of Tokyo Mew Mew characters (also FL)
Any thoughts about this would be appreciated. Thanks. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 03:17, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  FL status? 

message: I noticed the line "This article may contain an excessive amount of intricate detail that may only interest a specific audience. (November 2014)" in the Multiple Issues box. I don't know why it's there; this article goes into less detail than do List of Star Trek characters (A–F), List of Star Trek characters (G–M), List of Star Trek characters (N–S), and List of Star Trek characters (T–Z).
The only difference I see is that those pages deal with a topic that appeals to male SF fans, while this page deals with a topic that does not appeal to male SF fans. I was under the impression that Wikipedia was trying to attract a wider variety of editors; that won't happen if we delete content of interest to a wider variety of editors.
I propose deleting this so-called issue from the page.

message: This is one of the better character lists I've seen tagged, with lots of real-world context.  A few notes:
*I reduced a lot of the use of bold, particularly for names which already had a section header directly above. Otherwise, I could see bold being useful for major alternative names that a reader might follow from a redirect.
*I italicized some of the Japanese words less-commonly seen in everyday English (MOS:FOREIGNITALIC).
* – could this be better stated as boyish or tomboyish girl?

thread_title:  March 2018 copy edit 

message: As per the current request to merge Death Busters, Dead Moon Circus and Shadow Galactica into this article, I strongly oppose. There was an ongoing debate over the past years which resulted in merging several individual characters (like Galaxia, Chaos, Nehellenia) and sub-groups (Witches 5, Animamates, the Amazon, etc.) into greater articles. Those 3 articles have had their sections trimmed, with just brief paragraphs for each character's appearance in the manga and anime (and musicals where it applies). As per Wikipedia:Merging, "Merging should be avoided if: The resulting article would be too long or "clunky" (Wikipedia:Article size says that "> 100 kB	Almost certainly should be divided"). Also, Wikipedia:Notability recommends "to merge or group two or more related topics into a single article" and that "articles on minor characters in a work of fiction may be merged into a "list of minor characters in ..."  That is what we did with all these individual villains; editors might check the revision history of the Sailor Moon template and see that, in the past, almost every single villain had its own article. We rather merged all of them into a single group to avoid having stubs and lots of articles on non-notable characters. --LoЯd ۞pεth 14:16, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Two weeks have passed. I addressed the issue by creating reception sections in all three articles. In the case of Shadow Galactica, it needs major expansion, but the three subjects clearly pass Wikipedia:Notability. Furthermore, the user that added the merge tag never started any discussion, so I am removing the tags. --LoЯd ۞pεth 14:00, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
