replies: text: Merge the minor characters, keep at least the main characters separate. MythSearchertalk 13:49, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  The main characters may be able to be brought up to snuff; at the moment all of the character articles fail to establish notability and are written in an in-universe style. The minor characters would appear to not have a snowball's chance of being appropriately improved. --Jack Merridew 14:02, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Furthermore, character information can still be expanded within a list of characters.  If a split is needed, then it would be best to do so at the time. KyuuA4 21:13, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

text: The trend I've seen in some of the other anime articles is to incorporate the character descriptions into the article itself.  It means that major character descriptions have to be pared down, but that minor characters would be in the article itself which, I think, would be more appropriate than separate articles.  Having said that, merging all of the characters into an article/list like this one is a workable solution that would consolidate characters and make it possible for the "in universe" writing style issue to be addressed. talk toSailorAlphaCentauri 17:00, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Interesting. I had not considered merging to the main article but it seems reasonable and, apparently, precedented. --Jack Merridew 10:35, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, according to WP:FICT it should be the very first action to do in the very beginning when the article is created.  However, in this case it is simply making the main article too long if all are dumped there. MythSearchertalk 10:47, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: (Edit conflict) That page is already 33 kilobytes long (20 kilobytes readable prose), so one should be careful about merging much more information into it. However, the proposed WP:FICT rewrite did state "Editors should note that a summary of this subject should remain in the main body."; and WP:MOS-ANIME also states "This describes the characters in modest detail, including voice actor credits (if applicable, see ). There is no need to create a separate voice actor section". So in any case, the main article should be expanded with a bit more of the information (as I believe the current list is insufficient—per WP:SS more information should remain in the article).

replies: text:  current list is a recent stub and needs expanding - I created it to be a merge target. --Jack Merridew 10:59, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I meant this list. It need not list every character, and can provide a bit more information on those that it does list. Refer to WP:MOS-ANIME#Series for detail. G.A.S  13:14, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

text: (Edit conflict) They were created some time ago and I have no idea what FICT said at the time. Most of the prose could easily be pared-down and some of the characters probably don't even need a mention at all. For example, Sigel (Oh My Goddess!) doesn't even have a voice actor and would seem to only be a bit of fan service in the closing credits. --Jack Merridew 10:59, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Sigel hasn't been introduced in the anime yet since its storyline hasn't advanced as far as in the manga. She appears fairly regularly in the manga after her introduction in volume 15. Lando242 21:42, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

text: How time flies when things get disrupted. I agree that this needs to move forward. I expect the Belledandy and the boy are the significant characters and the others should get a quick summary... somewhere; need to look at all the above talk again. See this tidbit I just got about the jp.wiki's coverage of this. Cheers, Jack Merridew 17:58, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, the Japanese page link is simply wierd, to a certain level of WP:OR.  Belldandy's original counterpart in the Norse Mythology is Verdandi (in which is pronouced and spelled as Verthandi in the Japanese page) and thus there is no point in directing Belldandy (ベルダンディー) to Verthandi (ヴェルザンディ).

message: Just noticed from the OMG anime (season 2, episode 18, 21:24) that Marller's name was spelled as Mahler.  Has any of the spellings of her name been confirmed (Mara, Marller or Mahler)?88.112.225.129 (talk) 18:20, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

message: The Almighty One - currently his entry states "Many people affirm The Almighty be the father of the three Norns, but He has never been identified as such in either the manga or the anime." Actually in DarkHorse Comics release for Mystery Child (vol.16) the first chapter has Belldandy answering the phone from him, with Urd picking it up 2 pages later and squealing "Oh, Goodness! Daddy?! It's been ages!" i just don't know how to condense that into something fitting the rest of the entry...
Peorth - do we want to mention her role as Urd's examiner for a Goddess First-class license? it's mentioned in Urd's char page but not here Throwaawy (talk) 05:12, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
