Talk:List of The Belgariad and The Malloreon characters

message: Thanks for creating this page, I think it was a good idea. i added links both to and from the main page on The Belgariad. In future if a page is split off the main page, please be sure it links both ways when created. DES 18:20, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: Eriond is not the third Child of Light, there have been hundreds through the ages, though most just for a few minutes.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.109.98.211 (talk) 08:49, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Minor Change 

message: Belgarath the Sorcerer on this page currently links to the book that serves as his biography, which seems counter to standard practice to me.  Shouldn't it be the other way around ("this page is about the book; for the character, see <anchor on the characters page>")?  I'm not saying there needs to be a page for Belgarath (although, for a character who is co-eval to Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings within the Belgariad/Malloreon mythos and has his own book, it could be appropriate).  In any case, I suggest beefing up the one-liner he has to set him apart as a principal character cf. Polgara, and then fixing the links.  What do you all think? - Banazir (talk) 17:51, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Belgarath 

message: I don't think Sadi or Velvet are mentioned in the Mrin Codex.  I think Cyradis identifies them as The Man who is no Man and the Huntress.  I believe Poledra's identity is from the same source.  I'd change this, but I'm not complete sure.  I'm about to read the Mallorean again, so I'll check it then.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.93.204.1 (talk) 13:23, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Protagonists 

message: I've noticed the use of "Beldaran II" and "Geran II", I assume this is because Beldaran is named after Polgara's sister and Geran was Belgarions father.  However, should the numerals be used?  I've never seen them used in the book.  Beldaran maybe because she was Iron-Grips wife, but Garion's father Geran was never a reigning monarch.  If we use the other basis, like in the USA where numerals are often used in family names, I've never seen any mention of that form of useage in any of the Belgariad/Mallorean books or even the Sparhawk books.  So is this proper?  I will admit to not having read the Rivan Codex, so if its mentioned there, apologies. Douglasnicol (talk) 19:33, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Naming basis

message: I placed Mordja in the list of antagonists but did not otherwise meddle with this section, but I do suggest it be removed entirely. Cyradis can be considered either a 'Protagonist' or a 'Supporting/Minor Character' depending on one's views (I lean toward the former) and Senji is clearly a 'Supporting/Minor Character.' There really isn't a need for this section at all. Chrismrich (talk) 05:40, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  'Other Characters' 

message: The original name, "List of The Belgariad and The Malloreon characters" was moved to "List of Garion characters" with the edit summary  "The list title should reflect the series title rather than the titles of the constituent novels." I've never hear of The Belgariad and The Malloreon series be referred to as "Garion" novels.  If so, it would be more correctly "List of Garion novel characters" or "List of characters in the Garion novels."
If there was just one series of books, the article would be properly named "List of The Belgariad characters" or "List of characters in The Belgariad" or some variation.  Having two series of books just means include them both in the article title. — MrDolomite • Talk 19:07, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article name after move 

message: Neither of the characters in this epic are sufficiently individually notable to justify their own articles. The deities and races lists have no secondary sourcing and very little primary sourcing, meaning that much of the content can be shortened and a merge would result in a reasonably sized list. As such, the following articles should be merged here: Zandramas, Belgarion, Deities in The Belgariad and The Malloreon and Races in The Belgariad and The Malloreon.

replies: text: Sounds good, but don't you think the article will get kindof bulky? Sadads (talk) 18:01, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

text: Stephen, please do not remove the merge templates while the discussion is ongoing. If these four articles were merged here without any reduction in content, this list would still be a reasonable size. If size gets to be a problem, content will simply have to be cut; literally none of it is currently referenced in secondary sources. As for Belgarion, he only needs his own article if he is sufficiently independently notable apart from the series as demonstrated by secondary sources, and such sources do not appear to exist.
