Whatever connection you think you see there, it is entirely original research and cannot be included in the article. —Farix (t | c) 18:47, 24 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Reverted cleanup of the "Characters" section edit

My edit of the "Characters" section was reverted by User:TheFarix. I disagree with this reversion for the following reasons: (1) my edit cleaned up minor errors, including fixing incorrect sentences like "She's is a Port Mafia executive and has the ability, 'Golden Demon'", and (2) linking the characters' names to the authors whom they were named after violates MOS:EGG, as those bolded links refer in this context to the anime/manga's characters rather than the authors themselves. Essentially, my edit helped to specify and somewhat clean up the section's language, which I would not characterise as "[e]xcessive wording". –Matthew - (talk) 21:58, 26 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

As TheFarix has failed to respond to the above discussion, as have any other editors who might care to weigh in, I've decided to conduct an RfC to complete this discussion quickly and civilly. Should the "Characters" section of the article link characters' names to the authors whom they were named after (e.g. the character named Atsushi Nakajima links to author Atsushi Nakajima), or should the distinction be specified in the characters' descriptions (e.g. the character named Atsushi Nakajima does not link to anything, and with the link instead being included in the description, where it would be noted that the character is named after Atsushi Nakajima). –Matthew - (talk) 21:30, 27 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

The link should be in the description since the characters are not based on their namesakes, just like Clone High#Characters. Linking the character name to the namesake implies the two are supposed to be the same person. Argento Surfer (talk) 13:32, 3 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
