Talk:List of Mobile Suit Gundam characters

message: I'm starting to think all the major characters from Char's Counterattack, Gundam 0080, Gundam 0083, and The 08th MS Team should each have a brief description on each respective article for the story they appear in. Then maybe there should be a list of characters for each of the shows - Mobile Suit Gundam, Zeta Gundam, Gundam ZZ, and Victory Gundam. 
What do you think? Shaneymike (talk) 19:59, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I see there is already a separate List of Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam characters. I suppose we should rename this the List of Mobile Suit Gundam characters and then start separate lists for Gundam ZZ and Victory Gundam. Shaneymike (talk) 21:03, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've removed all of the characters that were exclusively in Zeta Gundam as there is already a list for them. As soon as the other shows have their own lists, I'll gladly remove the rest. And then maybe we could rename this List of Mobile Suit Gundam Characters? Shaneymike (talk) 14:12, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I just finished dividing the remaining protagonists according to their respective series. As soon as we have lists for them, I'll happy remove the ones that aren't in First Gundam Shaneymike (talk) 17:27, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clean Up 

message: I'm deeply biased, but if you have seen Mobile Suit Gundam, Frau has a bigger role in the story than Hayato, Sleggar or Matilda, and certainly an equal one with any other WB crew member.  Please stop this silly nonsense about merging her.  –ConkblockedWiki 01:53, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It has nothing to do with her role in the series, but with establishing her notability via reliable third-party sources. Many of the other characters will eventually be merged with the current exceptions of Char Aznable and Amuro Ray, which have established their notability outside of the series. —Farix (t | c) 03:45, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Where and when did all this merging consensus come about, exactly? –ConkblockedWiki 19:40, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: There have been numerous discussions on merging unnotable characters (i.e. characters lacking real-world notability, not just "significant" within the series) all across Wikipedia, and particular with the anime/manga project. There have been very lengthy discussions and a ton of merges done at List of Dragon Ball characters, List of Naruto characters, etc etc. There are also have been many discussions on the Anime/manga project page (search archives for character list). -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 03:20, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

text: Ryu Jose should be merged. Hayato Kobayashi continues to appear in Zeta and Double-Zeta, but isn't significant enough to have his own page. Frau Bow isn't very significant either, and should remain merged. Traece (talk) 07:26, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Frau Bow 

message: The article is currently tagged to have Matilda Ajan, Frau Bow, Paolo Cassius, Ryu Jose, Sleggar Law, Tem Ray, General Revil, and Black Tri-Stars merged to this list. Starting a discussion to go with the tagging. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 03:16, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Despite the 11 hour expansion that incorporated a great deal of original research, there isn't really anything to merge as the character is inconsequential. So inconsequential that even GundamOfficial doesn't list him among their list of significant characters. —Farix (t | c) 12:53, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds like a redirect then. Probably with a brief mention under Amuro's entry. Dandy Sephy (talk) 14:43, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
