Talk:Mr. Satan (Dragon Ball)/Archive 1

message: The pattern for Dragon Ball character naming appears to be that we are using the English language manga names instead of the real Japanese names or the English anime names. This makes sense because the manga is the best translation we have and the names are closer to their Japanese counterparts in most respects. ('Krillin' -> 'Kuririn', 'Goku' -> 'Son Goku', etc.) Hercule / Mr. Satan has not yet appeared in the manga (close, only 10 more chapters to go) so we do not yet know what name will be used. We may need to change the title of this article down the line for consistency. JRP 22:05, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)

text: Not in the manga, which is our highest level of canon.  I'm going to cast for using Mr. Satan as well. Beowulph 22:57, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm gonna go ahead and agree that this article needs to be changed to Mr. Satan, since Hercule is a name only in the edited dub and is not canonical.--GeneralDuke 22:47, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Mr.Satan *Hercule* (Dragon Ball) → Hercule (Dragon Ball) … Rationale: Moved by User:Starone, but name does not adhere for WP:NAME for reasons on Talk page. The page can be "Mr. Satan" or "Hercule (Dragon Ball), but not this weird mix of both. … —JRP 03:27, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

*I put Hercule in the title as a sort of compromise for those that wanted Hercule, but I'm all for it being just Mr.Satan. Starone 19:45, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hercule is not his official name. There is nothing to indicate that a name made up by Funimation due to censorship is official. Doesn't the uncut dub name him Mr. Satan anyway?--GeneralDuke 19:47, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

text: Also, the move is really poorly done. This is going to be really confusing for readers.--KojiDude 00:15, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The English manga(which is considered official) says his real name is Hercule with Mr. Satan being his characters name. So it shoud stay at "Hercule (Dragon Ball)". TJ Spyke 03:52, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
