Talk:List of characters in Neon Genesis Evangelion/Archive 1

message: I've merged in what was formerly at List of ancillary List of characters in Neon Genesis Evangelion. (I'm going to have to retitle this page now, but eh.)   I'll be moving List of ancillary List of characters in Neon Genesis Evangelion to a subpage of this soon, to preserve history, so i'm going to copy the sole comment from its talk page here (which reflects why i merged it):
:Is this article even necessary or useful? I don't think so. – Mackeriv 04:47, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  merge of "List of ancillary characters" 

message: As with WP:FICT, and the fact that the page is quite long, the main characters should have their own article pages again (as was the case before they were merged into this one). Since NGE is a seminal anime work, it's only fitting. As before, there were short descriptions on this page, and longer articles on character pages, this should probably be done now. (You'll notice that since NGE articles were written, tonnes of inconsequential anime have character articles, along with other forms of fiction, and many works have episode articles)
I propose restoring/creating the character articles for
* Shinji Ikari
* Rei Ayanami
* Asuka Sorhyu Langley
* Misato Kitsuragi
* Gendo Ikari
* Ritsuko Akagi
I would think that the following also should have character articles:
* Kaji Ryoji
* Maya Ibuki
* Yui Ikari
* Mana Kirishima
* Touji Suzuhara
* Kawarou Nagisa
* Kensuke Aida
* Hikari Horaki
* Keel Lorenz
* Pen Pen
Bearing in mind, we can more easily integrate information from the "GoS" and "GoS2" universes into character pages, as well as manga information, since the manga has a somewhat different storyline than the tv show.

replies: text: It's a good idea, but it's also a big job. Some of the characters don't have enough information on them to warrant their own page. What do we do with them? --cheese-cube 05:40, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

text: see main article:character name
at the top of each section for that character. 132.205.46.188 23:11, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah that would work. I'll see if I can start work today. --cheese-cube 01:38, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I've made a start by giving Rei Ayanami her own article. Is this the way in which I should proceed? --cheese-cube 01:51, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

text: I disagree, this is a pretty short character page and doesn't need splitting any time in the near future. At most give Shinji, Asuka and Rei seperate articles. --zippedmartin 02:50, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  split 

message: Didn't Anno say in an interview that Kaji's death was not of interest, that he was shot by a security guard or some other low level personnel like that?  --Maru (talk) 23:50, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Kaji's death 

message: I think we should settle on one set 'dogma' for spelling character names. Personally, I disfavor shortening all long sounds to one letter (e.g. Gendou -> Gendo, etc.) for the reason that it degrades the quality of information being given about the subjects. Also, I find that they look ugly.
If I may be so bold, I'd like to propose a list of relevant names with their spelling:
*Asuka Langley Sohryu
*Touji Suzuhara
*Kaworu Nagisa
*Gendou Ikari
*Kouzou Fuyutsuki
*Makoto Hyuuga
*Ryouji Kaji
*Kyouko Zeppelin Sohryu

**That's how I spelled them all when I last edited this page. I see someone has changed some back and not others. But I completely agree with you, Anony-mouse, and will try my best to change them back. Unless someone else thinks I shouldn't, for some reason. Kyou
