thread_title: New article split from [[Gynoid]]

message: Manga instances of gynoids would be appopriate under literature. As we know, many animes mentioned do have manga instances, but I assume that in all cases we will give them presidence? Even in cases where the manga precedes the anime? In which case manga would only be listed if there were no accompanying anime, just as Ping Chan from MegaTokyo. Tyciol 04:23, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Can Dot Matrix really be considered a gynoid or cyborg? If so, why aren't Hexadecimal, Daemon, AndrAIa, Mouse, or any of the other female characters from ReBoot mentioned? I personally don't think any of them are gynoids, given that the characters are simply computer data or programs as far as the series is concerned, not physical cybe'''

message: I would argue that just because an android is female doesnt make it a gynoid at that isn't a meaningful term if not used within the media from which we name them as gynoid is a usesless term anyways and to say someone is a gynoid is OR if not sourced--209.181.16.93 (talk) 22:44, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Gynoid V Female Android 

message: I see the Borg from Star Trek are not included in the list, and think they should be.  At least notable ones (Seven of Nine) and the Borg queen should be.
I disagree.  The Borg from Star Trek are humans with human minds, with cybernetic implants.  They're not robots or androids at all.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by HungryGuy (talk • contribs) 18:19, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: And yet the Bionic Woman is on this list of female cyborgs, being herself a human with cybernetic implants. Plus isn't the word "Fictional" a little redundant since every female robot/cyborg/alien race is, by definition, fictional? Why don't we just call this "List of All Machines With Secondary Female Characteristics," since anything and everything can put here provided some fanboy can say "oh, that looks vaguely female, it must be a fembot."

replies: text:  The article title says "female robots and cyborgs" so it is perfectly correct to include Sommers and the Borg females because they are both described on screen as being cyborgs. As to the question of "fictional" being redundant, it might well be but it's a necessary piece of shorthand since there are actual real-life robots and gynoids being developed (maybe not to the same degree of sophistication, mark you, but check out reports from robotics and science shows in Japan and some "gynoids" have already reached celebrity status, with one even featuring in the finale scene of Battlestar Galactica. 68.146.70.124 (talk) 13:53, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

message: I thought we weren't using plot summaries from IMBD as references since, like Wikipedia, anyone can go on it and write any fool idea that comes into their head, sort of like this list. Is it fair to remove them? Chalchiuhtlatonal (talk) 14:24, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

message: It makes no sense to split them up and I believe there's a Wikipedia policy forbidding "American-centric" formatting, so I added the Doctor Who and Japanese entries to the main list. 68.146.70.124 (talk) 13:45, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

message: Dot Matrix was neither an android nor a cyborg, so I removed her from the list (technically, if we included her we'd have to list every female character in the series, from Mouse to Hexidecimal, as they're all the same as Dot). 68.146.70.124 (talk) 13:09, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

message: Need your opinions on whether these alien races or characters should or should not be considered androids/gynoids:
DISPUTED: Cylons in the newer Battlestar Galactica series - more of an alien race rather than pure android
* Cylons are an android species. Notable Cylon females include:
** Number Three alias "D'Anna Biers"
** Number Six alias "Shelly Godfrey", "Gina Inviere", "Natalie", "Lida", or "Sonja"
** Number Eight alias "Sharon Valerii"
** Tory Foster
** Ellen TighAdded back to the article with source that discusses them as gynoids
DISPUTED: Cybermen - alien race rather than pure android
** It has also featured a number of females who have been turned into Cybermen such as Yvonne Hartman in the Doctor Who episode "Doomsday" (2006), Jackie Tyler and Sally Phelan in the Doctor Who episode "The Age of Steel" (2006) and Lisa Hallett in the Torchwood episode "Cyberwoman" (2006)
DISPUTED Although she acts like an Artificial Intelligence and inhabits a body, the series takes place in the afterlife so all bets are off whether any of these characters are still considered human or android
* Janet, a celestial angelic guide from The Good Place (2016–present) GQ article says her character is not a robot:
DISPUTED Transformers characters - Are protoform/Transformers characters that take a human form considered androids?
* Sari Sumdac from Transformers Animated
* Transformers, such as Nightbird, Arcee, Elita One and Thunderblast (1984–1987)
DISPUTED The World of Narue, alien characters who can transform into spaceships / space mecha  and also transform into humans.  Bathyscaphe, Haruna, Rin Asakura, Rei Otonashi, and Ran Tendo. Not clear if they were created as androids to begin with.
DISPUTED Neeya, from Humanoid Woman (aka Cherez ternii k zvyozdam) (1981) - fictional humanoid clones that can be controlled. It doesn't mean they were mechanically designed.
Any thoughts? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 20:59, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Everything else does seem like they would qualify, although perhaps they should be sorted into different sections depending on whether they were mechanical or some kind of homunculus or biorobot (e.g. a designed organic life form). It gets into somewhat unclear territory when we are talking about beings like the new Cylons who are basically just humans 2.0. In this case, I believe that if two androids have a baby, then that baby is no longer an android but an organic being.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 01:26, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks. What about the Transformers? I think they're more of a mechanized alien race rather than androids/gynoids. They don't really assume human form just that giant robot kind of look with a human-like face. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 04:27, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yeah, I am not convinced the Transformers mimic the human form enough to call them androids. They are really more like giant robots.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 08:23, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
