thread_title:  DB character names 

message: I click on some of those names on the inactive list, and see not only have they been active on Wikipedia this month, but also in anime and manga related topics.  made a post just today. I don't see any communications done on their talk pages asking them to confirm they were a member of the project.  You can't just kick someone off like that.  Also some on the active list haven't made any edits on Wikipedia for months.  Active list member  hasn't made any edits on Wikipedia since March.  So, how is it determined who is on what list?   Dream Focus 17:11, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Who has kicked anyone off? The list is generally left up to the users themselves to edit and to declare themselves as active/inactive. It is not, however, based on their being active on Wikipedia or anywhere else beyond - do they consider themselves to be active in the Dragon Ball project. If there are users who have not edited anywhere in months, or who are now banned, I'd see no problem with moving those users to inactive (or removed all together for banned editors), but otherwise I'd say leave the list as is.-- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 17:17, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Redbird 41 is proposing to move some characters from current secondary character status to main character status since he considers that they have a relevant participation through all the series:
*Tien Shinhan
*Yamcha
*Yajirobe
There was a previous consensus that determined to handle these characters as secondary characters (you can read it here.) So, in order to do the move, we need a new consensus to determine if these characters are main or secondary. Please share your comments on this topic to reach a new consensus.

thread_title:  [[Talk:Son Goku (Dragon Ball)#Appearances in other media|Goku]] 

message: I have realized that there is nothing on wikipedia about some notable stuff from the Dragon Ball series that aren't characters. Like some objects for example Dragon Radar, Kinto'un (Flying Nimbus), Nyoibou (Power Pole), Scouters and Capsules. Also for stuff like Super Saiyans (which are pretty notable since they have appeared in popular culture and have made a cultural impact. Also stuff like Races such as Namekians, Saiyans and Majins along with some notable locations like Mount Paozu, Kame House, West City, Papaya Island (World Martial Arts Tournament), Penguin Village, Planet Namek, Korin Tower & Kami's Lookout/Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Im wondering how we can incorporate this stuff into Wikipedia like a section in the Dragon Ball article briefly talking about stuff like this or articles like List of Objects in Dragon Ball or something. Any Opinions - SuperTiencha (talk) 01:40, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't believe that to be a very good idea; such information is trivial and in-universe and the purpose of the article is to maintain real-world perspective on Dragon Ball. Also, the technology and locations from Dragon Ball aren't particularly notable on their own. Such an article describing those things would likely end up similar to this--GroovySandwich 01:48, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

text: If it's only notable to Dragon Ball fans then it's not particularly deserving of its own article. Articles need to be informative to a general audience, so to speak. A glossary of Dragon Ball terms would quickly turn into a crufty, OR-filled mess, most likely, and would end up like the Evangelion article I mentioned previously. There used to be articles on those things: Races, Attacks, etc. But they all got merged and redirected and the same would happen again. Any relevant information regarding the impact of Dragon Ball's concepts, like the Super Saiyan as you mentioned, can be added to the main Dragon Ball article--GroovySandwich 02:09, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

message: I have watched Dragonball GT, where at the end Goku flies off with Shenron, but at the start of Dragonball Super, it's like it never happened.

replies: text:  Chronologically Dragon Ball Super takes place soon after the conclusion of the Majin Buu arc in Dragon Ball Z, but well before the ending of Z where Pan and Uub are still young children, as opposed to being pre-teen/teenaged in GT. Think of GT as the Dragon Ball equivalent of the Clone Wars animated TV show for Star Wars which is ambiguously canon (since the events in the show may or may not have happened and the Star Wars films almost never discuss or reference the events of that show save for some easter eggs and cameo appearances), or any of the Expanded Universe stuff which have been retconned as Legends and definitely non-canon. I am more inclined towards the latter since Super has introduced story elements which contradicts the stuff featured on GT like the Black Star Dragon Balls and the Pilaf Gang. Most tellingly, GT's story arcs never had a manga equivalent, just like the various Dragon Ball films.  Haleth (talk) 09:50, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
