Witches[edit]

Should the Witches be listed on this page? 96.238.30.200 (talk) 15:58, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would add them if they are major villians or minor villians which are notable. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 01:27, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well, there are only 14 or so Witches, and 4 from Oriko Magica, and just listing the major witches would be pointless, seeing how they only appear in 1 episode, so it'd be best to list them all just for the sake of it. After all, the Witches are very essential to the plot of the anime and manga. 96.238.30.200 (talk) 23:12, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Homura's Earring[edit]

"Ultimate Madoka's powers are sealed within her earring, which can change to and from a lizard form, and walk around on its own." - Where did this information come from? 184.144.2.118 (talk) 07:22, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Split Discussion[edit]

See Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2019_January_28#Kyoko_Sakura, a request to accept a separate article on Kyoko Sakura. Robert McClenon (talk) 07:24, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sayaka Miki section -> Linking to the Sayaka Miki page instead?[edit]

I just noticed that there is a separate article for Sayaka Miki. That article has most information already listed word for word, the only missing thing would be the "(オクタヴィア・フォン・ゼッケンドルフ Okutavia Fon Zekkendorufu" after "Oktavia von Seckendorff" as well as the paragraph comparing Sayaka with the little mermaid ("Because of this, Sayaka seems to be based off the original story of the Little Mermaid, [...], who is like a mermaid.").

I'm not really used to editing Wikipedia (especially removing content), so not sure how to deal with this. I personally would replace the Sayaka-section with a {{Main|Sayaka Miki}} without adding the "lost" information to that article, because it seems unsourced/speculative and to me the tone/writing style seems a bit off compared to the rest of the article (because of that I personally wouldn't like to add that section to the existing page). I would appreciate it if someone with more Wikipedia experience would chime in.

Kyoko Sakura draft[edit]

Draft:Kyoko Sakura has been submitted to AFC again. Is it ready to go into mainspace? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:39, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I'm planning to expand the reception section and then nominate the article to GA status. With all the information's I wrote, I believe Kyoko Sakura should have her own article. NotEnglishSpeaker (talk) 16:21, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Robert McClenon, Knowledgekid87, what do you think of this newer draft? Is it good enough to put in mainspace? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:23, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
User:AngusWOOF - I haven't looked at this in months. I will review within 24 hours. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:06, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
With just a quick glance I removed promotional mentions of merchandise as this is common for anime characters. The fluff isn't needed as the reception of the character matters more. I am a bit concerned about the amount of primary sources in the creation section such as the fan book, but Megami Magazine and Yosensha help this out a bit. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 18:05, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It's not a fan book, it's an official guidebook. Also, why remove merchandise? Sasuke Uchiha has a "merchandise" section and it looks fine. NotEnglishSpeaker (talk) 18:13, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
User:AngusWOOF - Well, I complicated things a year ago by using a Redirect for Discussion as a vehicle for deciding whether to accept an article, and I didn't realize that RFD usually doesn't get much attention and seldom gets consensus on anything. In retrospect, it could have been accepted a year ago. I think that the case for accepting it is better now. I think that it is either Class C or Class B. I don't think that it is a Good Article, but that isn't the question. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:26, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I agree....it can be kept but it needs cleanup. I am not happy with how the merchandise is being included in the article as many different sellers routinely sell these things for every single series out there. WP:EXISTENCE does not equal notability here. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 21:50, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The merchandising can be trimmed down to be comparable to other characters in the series. I'll go ahead and proceed with requesting the redirect to be removed and we'll take it in as a class C. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:04, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is now in mainspace. Feel free to WP:TNT any excessive sections. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:45, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
