{{Infobox VG character}}

firstappearance vs firstgame

Should both be used? Only one? Which one?

• Keep both - The first notable appearance might not be in a video game. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 18:55, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
• Keep firstappearance as it is, in my opinion important information that is almost always included in the lead, Indifferent to firstgame. Harry Blue5 (talk • contribs) 08:41, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

creator vs artist

Are they the same?

• Keep both - The original creator and the current artist may not be the same. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 18:55, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
• Keep both They can be the same, but not neccesarily. Harry Blue5 (talk • contribs) 08:41, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

japanactor

Is it undue weight?

• Indifferent - I think the Japanese voice actor just be listed in "voiceactor". _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 18:55, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

motionactor vs liveactor

Is there a difference?

• Keep both - I think there was a consensus that they are different. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 18:55, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

nickname

Really?

• Delete - I don't really see the purpose of this. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 18:55, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
• Delete Not really needed and doesn't appear to serve a purpose. Also does not appear to exist. Harry Blue5 (talk • contribs) 08:41, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
