GA? edit

Should this article be nominated for GA status? I feel that this article is ready for GAN. DarkFallenAngel (talk) 17:03, 11 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Preferably not yet. I'd like at least a copyedit, if nothing else, to happen first. PanagiotisZois (talk) 08:33, 12 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
Oh, oops, I didn't read the peer review before I took the copy edit request because I have watched the show. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 23:20, 27 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Question, why does this page exist? edit

I still don’t understand how character pages for shows work how is it this guy has a full Wikipedia page while characters like Callum, Reila, Ezran, and Zim don’t. I’m still understanding how this works. 0Detail-Attention215 (talk) 16:03, 30 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Well, a large part of it has to do with notability. Now, as to why Viren has an article while Callum, Ezran, and Zym don't (Rayla actually does), the answer is quite simple. Because I wanted to create his article, but wasn't all that interested in the others. It's not rare for a character who's more of a supporting character to have their own article, while the main characters don't. Again, this circles back to notability. As you can see, Viren's article isn't just a biography, detailing his character from an in-universe perspective. There's an entire section dedicated to how the character was created, cast, and further developed, as well as a section detailing the response to Viren's character (one which is almost entirely positive, I might add). --PanagiotisZois (talk) 11:12, 22 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
