Endless lists of tertiary characters

The IP editor 108.192.97.195, as well as Rama.hermawan, have been inserting extremely long lists of very minor characters which really don't belong in this article. Farix and I have been trying to keep them out of this article, but we don't want to create an edit war. So, IP/Rama.hermawan (as they are likely the same person), please explain exactly why they need to be in this article. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 04:01, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

I'm going to do a two part edit. First removing the patent trivia: age, sign, blood type, body measurement, uniform color, etc. The second is to remove the clearly tertiary characters. —Farix (t | c) 15:21, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

A lot of those characters are fairly major. What do the fifth-and-sixth-years section have that the others lack? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.192.97.195 (talk) 07:47, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

What makes are those characters major? Their descriptions suggests that they play very minor roles in the plot and are not significant. And there are far too many of them for the article in too many subsections. Character sections should not list every character that appears in the series, so stick to just the main characters. —Farix (t | c) 11:26, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

While the descriptions on some may not be very detailed, many of them are in fact frequently occurring characters. The descriptions given for the fifth-and-sixth-years may be more in-depth, but those characters are not any more major than characters found in the other years. Also, this is hardly every character found in the show and not any longer than character lists for other shows I've seen here. Perhaps a separate page should be set up? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.192.97.195 (talk) 06:13, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

But which ones are important? The list should be limited to just the central characters. —Farix (t | c) 13:20, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

That's a hard question to answer. Rantarou, Kirimaru, and Shinbe are the three main characters, but it's a series that focuses on different characters for different episodes. It's an ensemble show. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.192.97.195 (talk) 04:39, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

Move

Why was this moved? I don't think the official English title is the most common name, at least not yet. Raymond1922 (talk) 03:21, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
