Talk:List of Haruhi Suzumiya characters

message: The 'SQL incantations' were discussed in the main article'stalk page.  And while I was the one who brought the link, etc up, I'm not sure if that is enough evidence to justify calling it fact, not speculation.  I just thought it ought to be pointed out. Mekryd 14:56, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Is it true that "Kyon" means "nobody"?—Preceding unsigned comment added by User:Mightyfastpig (talk • contribs) 
This is not true.  "Kyon" is just a nickname.  While 虚 (kyo) can mean emptiness, there is no connection.
So what does it mean?--Mightyfastpig 03:21, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: AFAIK it looks like a contraction of a regular name, but since Tanigawa, the author, is keeping his silence on this matter, there's nothing we know for sure. E.g., he is quoted as saying that he has not thought about Kyon's real name, in the official fanbook. --朝彦 (Asahiko) 13:38, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I was wondering if it would be okay to credit the actresses who played Haruhi, Yuki, and Mikuru in the live action previews for the R1 release on this page?

replies: text: Take my word.  I hope that is the case; personally, I'd lose my mind if Mikuru = Kyon's sister.  As thankfully, any such notion of Kyon's sister being Mikuru is speculation and rumor. KyuuA4 18:28, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Mikuru as Kyon's sister

message: This article is getting over 32kB, and several sections (the SOS members) are fairly long.  So the main characters should be split off into individual article pages, with stub summaries here on this list. Afterall, ENOZ has its own page. 70.55.88.125 15:47, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: More like this article: Data (Star Trek). KyuuA4 07:26, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

text: Indeed.  That'll require a bit of clean up; and that's a more do-able (and easier) task with greater emphasis on reorganization.  Dividing into article subsections. Cut of wordiness, etc.  And maybe add more necessary... stuff. KyuuA4 07:21, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Comment: When split i think separate sections for anime and book plots are in order (The book section taking up from where the anime left off). So that people who have seen the anime can have a clear spoiler cut of point and more information, speculation ect can be added to increase the value of the pages. Seperate sections about personality and character interactions could also flesh this out --Seth Turner 00:08, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

text: I think it would not be premature to split because of the popularity of Haruhi Suzumiya. Consider all those youtube dances... (or the CUHK Haruhi Dance Competition). Aside from this, there is the fact that American TV shows have less popular and more minor characters with articles of exterme lengths. (or even characters who just are cameo appearances) --Zyxwvutsrqp 13:46, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That doesn't necessarily mean there will be enough encyclopedic information to warrant an article split.. but.. maybe it's the fanboy in me.. I started to think about it and I think we probably can find enough encyclopedic info for these characters. I mean.. it's one hell of a series. -- Ned Scott 03:21, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think a good amount of the information will come from people who have read the novels or when the second anime series comes out. In the mean time, we can start to clean up these articles and prepare them for the influx of new data.--十八 14:59, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

message: *Agree.  In fact, other anime series have individual character pages.  Furthermore, this can give extra room for more info.  Also, a character summary must be made for the main character listing. KyuuA4 18:48, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

message: In regards to that, then some material can be purged.  Only to make room for more significant information.  Plus, it'll allow division of the information into subsections, thus making them more "focused".  Better descriptions on Character Personalities, History, Roles, etc.  When having character pages, it is best to compare with some already existing anime character pages.  Namely: Belldandy, and two featured articles who happen to be Pokemon: Bulbasaur and Torchic.  KyuuA4 18:38, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I changed the term "Playboy bunny costume" to "bunny girl costume." I did this because in Japan, unlike in America, bunny costumes are no longer strictly associated with Playboy bunny costumes. Rather, they tend to be a general sexy costume, similar to a French maid or fishnet stockings. If anyone objects, feel free to change it back. 74.140.92.81 05:54, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I mean, removing Mexican voice actor credits and saying "fabrication"? I think the Wikipedia hates Mexico because of illegal immigration! I suspected the same thing around a lot of the voice actor pages. I think prejudice among users is becoming rampant due to the issue of illegal immigration. That's just my opinion, and everyone's entitled. But seriously, who agrees that there are traitors among us in league with the Border Patrol in Mexico (the real reason why Mexican information is being taken off all too quickly)? --Ryanasaurus0077 19:08, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't think the series was licensed yet in Mexico, which is why I suspected the information to be false. I could be wrong on that, but if so, could you please provide a source for your information? --EmperorBrandon 19:52, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Now now, please try to be civil in your discussions. I saw that a user (EmperorBrandon?) removed the mexican voice actors for a lack of source. I had seen that the voices were listed at the ANN page at one point, but it seems they have been removed from there as well, most likely because from what I remember, no mexican licensing company was listed along with the voices. If you do not have a source, then we can only assume fabrication at this point.--十八 20:15, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I pointed them out on ANN, since they listed this Wikipedia page as a source and I was a bit skeptical. I don't have anything against Latin American voice actors being listed on this page, as long as the information is true. --EmperorBrandon 20:41, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I've been reading Suzumiya Haruhi Volume 5 : Snow Mountain Syndrome, and I came along an interesting statement. 
"Let's do this! I will train Mikuru, Imouto-chan will go with Haruhi-nyan. As for Kyon-kun and the rest, think of something on your own." 
Tsuruya-san's proposal could not have come at a better time. I needed some time to get used to the feel of being on skis. As I gave a passing glance off to the side... 
"..." 
The absolutely emotionless Nagato, with poles in hands, had already taken off smoothly. 
In the end, my sister didn't learn anything. Was Haruhi's teaching method flawed?
