Justifying the article edit
Despite the bureaucratic discussion being closed without addressing any of the policies referenced by the nominator (myself), I will honor the system. However, my plan is to reinforce this page with relevant, reliable, verifiable, notable information regarding the Khaleesi within the context of the fictional universes. The mere usage of the name is all of these things, but it is not enough for a stand-alone article. As is, it is still a WP:BADFORK, but I will work to add the required information and context to avoid violating this content guideline. TNstingray (talk) 20:30, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
- I don't know that a lot of detail regarding the fictional character and plot outlines is appropriate. More information about how the author came to create the name, any information about real world sources he might have used as inspiration, and references to the created language used on the show and how it applies to these names would certainly be relevant to expand and improve the article. I'd also probably agree to a redirect from Daenerys (given name) to Khaleesi (given name) since they're related topics and this one is the stronger of the two.

- That sounds like a good idea, and it looks like you are off to a great start. I wonder if it would be better to move this page to just Khaleesi to maximize the information we can talk about on this page. So, one section could be about the lore and development briefly discussing Daenerys, the Dothraki, and the Dosh Khaleen (obviously not to the level of violating WP:FANCRUFT). Then, the second section would have the real-world application about names and popular culture. Thoughts? TNstingray (talk) 12:55, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
- I don't have any real objections to that since Khaleesi (given name) would redirect to it. The standard title for a given name article is Name (given name). However, I also anticipate that there will eventually be a list of people named Khaleesi and links to articles about them in this article. There is a poor little girl with the name who was a murder victim and that attracted some news coverage, for instance, and there is a child model with the name. None are notable enough for Wikipedia articles but that will probably change. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 13:07, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
