Forum:Multiple Characters Articles

Since the situation with Abdullah and Jeet, I think we should talk this through and decide how to deal with multiple character articles.

In my opinion, characters who are introduced together and have very little change since they operate together and fall together, with an official team name, like Funk Brothers, Yeti Cool Brothers, Hyena Three, and so on, should be named by their team names. With no team names whatsoever, like Sodom and Gomorrah, Abdullah and Jeet, and Bushon and Stevie, should be split. I mean, look at Bushon and Stevie, they appear at different tracks and times, and they have no interactions with each other, so separate, they don't have enough to keep them in one article.

Also, for Mozu and Kiwi, I think we should change their article name to Square Sisters, consistent with Yeti Cool Brothers and such. 19:09, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

Discussion Starts Here
I agree this should be the rule. Merge the articles that are part of a team, separate the articles that have "and" in their title. 19:16, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

Yup, and like you said, we'd be merging Aunt with her children if we did so for multiple characters articles. No matter how little difference there are, multiple characters without a proper team name should stay as two or more articles. 19:18, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

That's a good way to deal with those articles, I agree with you. Also, I think in the event the characters would have different categories, then they should still be separated. Honestly, I wouldn't mind separating them all.

(Edit conflict) But even so, what defines a "team" enough to merge them? I mean, some teammates are individualistic enough to maintain their status as one page for each person, like Carue and the Super Spot-Billed Duck Squad. 19:20, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

I agree, its unorganized if we put on some multiple character articles both of their names and on some others the group name. In my opinion we should always put the group name. 19:22, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

Yep, Square Sisters sounds better, for consistency sakes. Now for another matter: Poppy and Pansy. We still don't know who is who, just a vague idea on seiyu. How to deal with these two? 19:24, May 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * It's also the Decalvan Bros, The Riscky Bros and of course we can't split articles like Danny, Denny and Donny. Nevermind, never knew thet have a team name. 19:28, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

I think that if two or more characters belong to a team but defer from each other we should have separate articles but also create an article for the team itself. Eg create a page about Sham and one about Bachi but also create an article about their team the Nyaban Bros. But this should be done only if there is much information about the characters. 19:26, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

I agree that characters introduced together as part of a named group should be together, but it should also apply to characters introduced together with close enough parallel histories regardless of whether or not they have a team name so long as the history section doesn't become jumbled. Sodom and Gommorah might have slightly different histories, but they are still a pair and the histories don't differ enough that it would be confusing. Same with Abdullah and Jeet if not more so. They were introduced together and so far have had the exact same histories. Sff9 mentioned on the Abdullah and Jeet talk page to look at these on a case by case basis, which I think is what we should do here. 19:27, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

And what about the Square Sisters? Should we change Mozu and Kiwi into their team name? 19:32, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

Square Sisters sounds horrible and they were only called that once. Most common name is the one that needs to be used. SeaTerror (talk) 19:34, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

(edit conflict)Do we even know if that was the official team name for them, as you put it? It could have just been some kind of colloquialism used to refer to them as a pair. I think they were called the Square Sisters as much as they were called simply Mozu and Kiwi. 19:35, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

Then we can say the same for "Nyaban Brothers". 19:38, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

Split them 19:40, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

The Square Sisters? 19:42, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

They shouldn't be split. Their histories are too similar. 19:45, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

If you don't rename them to Square Sisters then split them 19:46, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

That's hardly a team name. It was used maybe twice just to refer to them as a collective, not as anything with any type of renown. 19:49, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

Renown or not, it's the best we got. 19:54, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

But still, it was used at most twice, both times informally. 19:56, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

Then Mihawk's "Strongest Slash in the World" under Yoru's attack list, is also as such. That aside, we definitely should split Bushon and Stevie at least. 20:04, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, they at the very least need to be split. 20:06, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

Alright, no more arguments for Bushon and Stevie? Then we can split, no need for polls. And now, for others... Square Sisters, and the rest of the team names and other characters. How to deal with them all? 20:13, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

Like Sff9 said earlier elsewhere, on a case by case basis. I recommend setting up some sub-discussions on here with size 3 heading to keep things organized and in check. 20:17, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

Okay, what should the three headings be? 20:18, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

Whatever has merging/splitting potential, so the Square Sisters and the Nyaban Brothers. 20:22, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

Okay. But shouldn't we set up some guidelines on what qualifies a split/merge first? 20:23, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

Why are Bushon and Stevie unmerged. . They appeared together the whole time. 20:34, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

I don't think there can be a specific rule. 20:35, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

@Galaxy9000, really? I thought they were separate the whole time... 20:36, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

Nope.. They're basically best friends in both the anime and manga. 20:38, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

I thought they were introduced separately, and then had a different station, but were rescued one by one and barely made screen-time together. I did ask and no one objected. 20:39, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

I think if a pair of characters' articles are pretty much the same, and they are "together" in nearly every situation, a multi-article is fine. Other characters would be something like George Black and Roche Tomson. They never "appeared" together, but their articles are more-or-less the same and they are only mentioned together. 20:41, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

Well, I would have objected, but I was at school while the discussion was happening. 20:41, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

We should unmerge the Yeti cool brothers, their history is different. 20:45, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

we should also keep Abdullah and Jeet merged, at least for now, cause they have been introduced together and are always seen together 20:47, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

Problem is the infobox images, like the and Mummy Mee and Daddy Dee. They have separate images each, unless we can find a one-pic with both characters at the same time (and NO collages). 20:49, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

Hmm, what about the Groggy Monsters?

Also, I'll look for pictures, but I know the Mizuta twins are impossible to find together. 20:50, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

wait how do the histories of the yeti cool brothers differ? 20:51, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

With the Groggy Monsters, Hamburg's the only one featured outside the Groggy Ring, so he's the only one whose individual page is a must-have. I don't care whether you keep Big Pan & Pickles separate or merge them on a Groggy Monsters page.
 * 海賊☠姫 (talk) 20:58, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

Thing is, if we don't include Hamburg, there isn't a point in doing it. The Groggy Monsters don't even have their own page at this moment, they're just merged with the Foxy Pirates. With the differing histories that come from the filler episodes, it's probably best not to merge them. 21:00, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

Point. Plus they each have quite a list of individual attacks so it'd be a bit hectic to put their Abilities & Powers section togehter.
 * 海賊☠姫 (talk) 21:03, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

Just like the Monster Trio of the Straw Hats, right? 21:06, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

The Groggy Monsters and Monster Trio are fine as they are. We need to keep Big Pan and Pickles separate for the sake of categorizing because they're different species. We don't have to fret about every single named group we come across, especially informally named ones like the Groggy Monsters and even moreso the Monster Trio. 22:47, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

Now, then. How about other characters like Abdullah and Jeet, Nyaban Brothers, Square Sisters, and Poppy and Pansy? How should we set up the standards on how each of these are to be split/merged? 01:46, May 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * Same histories.
 * No major ability and power differences.
 * Always appear together.
 * Can be merged in a way where categorization isn't messed up (Races, etc)

This seems to be the best criteria to use for these.

(By the way, can you remerge Bushon and Stevie?) 01:49, May 14, 2013 (UTC)

At least we should merge Bushon and Stevie. They are always together. --Klobis (talk) 02:20, May 14, 2013 (UTC)

I thought those two were introduced at separate situations. 03:20, May 14, 2013 (UTC)

The panel I linked above is their introduction. 03:27, May 14, 2013 (UTC)

Well, in that case, okay. 04:06, May 14, 2013 (UTC)

Then we should merge Bobby (Movie) and Pogo. 18:15, May 14, 2013 (UTC)

Question: why do you want to merge so many articles? If there is no "group name" which can legitimate a merging, we should avoid that. Copy&paste works just fine. I personally don't like merged characters article, first because how the infobox looks like and also because if I open a link about Mozu I want to read about her and not about Kiwi.

Can't disagree much there, but we do have problems with Poppy and Pansy: who is who? How to split that one? 20:41, May 14, 2013 (UTC)

In cases like Poppy and Pansy, we have to leave them merged. Levi, that's kind of silly, since it specifies in the article which character is being talked about. It's a waste of space to have two different articles that say the exact same things. 20:43, May 14, 2013 (UTC)

Actually I support unmerging articles like those too and merge articles only when the characters' names are unknown like the Decalvan Brothers or in cases like the Hyena Three. 20:47, May 14, 2013 (UTC)

And what about Crescent-Moon Galley? Its practically two different people of completely different times, we can separate it into two pages. 23:53, May 14, 2013 (UTC)

I disagree about Galley. It's of two different continuities, but they share the same aspects in pretty much every other way. The page servers a great purpose by including them both, while also talking about their connections to each other and the series. 00:00, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

Seems like we're going a little merge crazy here. Let's focus on the ones that prompted this forum in the first place, unless you want me to argue that just about every Kuja save for a select few could/should be merged? Didn't think so. Anyway, Poppy and Pansy we leave as is because we'd look silly if we split them with no idea who was which. We should keep Bobby and Pogo as they are because merging them is only a slippery, annoying, and hopelessly repetitive slope to Dorry and Brogy. As for Mozu and Kiwi, we'd be just as correct calling them the Square Sisters as we would be leaving them as is, so the path of least resistance would be not to touch them. On to Sham and Buchi, we should merge those for the reasons mentioned above. So, ultimately, the only ones we should do anything with are the Nyaban Brothers. 01:59, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

I like that so far. However, what about Mummy Mee and Daddy Dee, and let's say characters whose infobox images cannot be placed into one image (no collages, please). You know what, I will list out the ones who have no team names (and a briefing on each one) and we can decide how to deal with them: These are all articles without a probable team name, and I know some have already been discussed about remaining merged for their respective reasons, but still... just to list them out so we can see which ones we're dealing with and how to deal with them. 04:10, May 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * Abdullah and Jeet (decided to merge)
 * Bushon and Stevie (still questionable as their history does diverge a little)
 * Chip and Dip (I guess that's fine)
 * Gyoro, Nin, and Bao (I guess that's fine)
 * Heppoko, Peppoko, and Poppoko (anime gives them separate intros)
 * Hotori and Kotori (brings in Satori, the third of the three bros)
 * Koze and Packy (I guess that's fine)
 * Michael and Hoichael (I guess that's fine)
 * Mummy Mee and Daddy Dee (no proper infobox image for both of them to appear together, sans collages, and different genders)
 * Poppy and Pansy (I guess that's fine, not knowing who is who, though anime credits can help)
 * Sodom and Gomorrah (history does divulge a little)
 * Splash and Splatter (I guess that's fine)

Yeah, Mummy Mee and Daddy Dee are different genders, so we really should split. We may have some clue based on anime credits for Poppy and Pansy, we did for Kibin, right? And then for the Nyaban Brothers, they do divulge in history a little, like Sodom and Gomorrah. As for Galley, we could just use brackets for separating them, like Hack (Human) and Hack (Fishman), etc. (just a suggestion for Galley). 04:15, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

By the way, don't the Nyaban Brothers also have different attacks? 17:01, May 16, 2013 (UTC)

Hotori and Kotori are twins and were introduced way after Satori. as for Poppy and Pansy, former attempts to discern them have exhausted just about every bit of evidence either way. But if you think you have something go ahead. Last I remember they didn't have any voice credits. The three pokos should stay as they are. They may have been introduced at different times, but they share the same small window in which they appeared. I guess I could see splitting the Dees, but that's about it. 17:14, May 16, 2013 (UTC)

We should split Mummy Mee and Daddy Dee because they have different categories, and I think we should not merge the Nyaban Brothers because their history and powers are different, idk wtf we're gonna do with Galley and we should split characters like Shodom and Gomorrah since their histories differ. 17:22, May 16, 2013 (UTC)

As I said elsewhere, the "team name" criterion is rather sloppy. Let's just decide this on a case-by-case basis. When the characters are introduced together, have always been featured together, and have mostly identical articles, merge them. If not, don't merge them. And I strongly disagree with using the team name as the article title. The article about Mozu and Kiwi is the article about Mozu and the article about Kiwi, which happen to be the same article. The rule is to use real names as titles, not epithets or invented names.

At the very least, the first thing is to split Mummy Mee and Daddy Dee, right? 00:35, May 18, 2013 (UTC)

There is no need to have two pages for that short article. --Klobis (talk) 08:51, May 18, 2013 (UTC)

The categories differ. 08:55, May 18, 2013 (UTC)

Isn't it trivial? They are those who appeared only in one page. Creating two pages for them is inconvenient to readers. --Klobis (talk) 09:29, May 18, 2013 (UTC)

No matter how short will the articles be, we should separate articles that gave different categories. 10:02, May 18, 2013 (UTC)

Bump. They're still merged. 07:20, May 21, 2013 (UTC)

What about Baskerville? That's technically 3 separate people and is a group article. At the very least, the individual portraits/images should be there in a gallery or something. And should it be renamed? 21:04, May 26, 2013 (UTC)

Post-Poll Discussion
Alright, now we can decide: What is circumstantial that we split or merge? 18:11, June 8, 2013 (UTC)

I'm bumping this. Mummy me and Daddy Dee still share the same page. Somebody must unmerge them. 14:55, July 7, 2013 (UTC)

Those two only appeared together, so they will not be unmerged. 20:44, July 7, 2013 (UTC)

They must be unmerged since the categories are not the same. 20:59, July 23, 2013 (UTC)

Alright, Mummy Mee and Daddy Dee should be split. Now, seeing the Funk Brothers were forced to split due to one possessing a Devil Fruit and one does not (as far as we know), who else should we split? , since no screenshot of them together is available. 01:51, August 6, 2013 (UTC)

There is nothing that separates the Mizuta Twins that warrant individual pages. They have almost identical histories in terms of length and events, and apart from having two separate paragraphs in the appearance section are the same in the other sections as well. 02:07, August 6, 2013 (UTC)

Their infobox image is not right, manga and anime, there is no image that shows both brothers in the same screenshot. 02:36, August 6, 2013 (UTC)

I agree. Unmerge articles that don't have the suitable infoboxes. 02:41, August 6, 2013 (UTC)

We could use a switch template instead, like we use for pre and post timeskip infoboxes. 06:06, August 6, 2013 (UTC)

I felt the need for a bump, since Mummy Mee and Daddy Dee are still one page as well as all other Multiple Character articles except for Galley and Gally. On the Mizuta Twins, they have slight differences in their personality, abilities and powers, and history sections. The older one also has trivia while the other doesn't. Since they have an insufficient infobox as well, I agree that a split is in order. Montblanc Noland (talk) 11:22, August 20, 2013 (UTC)

Bump. Issue is still unaddressed. Montblanc Noland (talk) 17:41, August 31, 2013 (UTC)

Bumpity bump bump. We didn't split any articles, and some of them have somewhat legitimate reasons for it. Montblanc Noland (talk) 00:54, September 23, 2013 (UTC)

Gonna split Mummy Mee and Daddy Dee. 19:31, September 28, 2013 (UTC)

Ah, it needs admin to rename it. Can you please do it? 19:33, September 28, 2013 (UTC)

I'd like to discuss the idea of splitting the Mizuta Twins. I have tried to bring this up a few times and no one has gotten back, but, as of now, they have an insufficient infobox and info divulges in three different sections. Plus, one of them has trivia while the other doesn't. Needs a split in my opinion. 98.235.153.176 00:56, September 29, 2013 (UTC)

So split Mommy Mee and Daddy Dee? And what about Mizuta twins? 01:08, September 29, 2013 (UTC)

Yes Yata, please split Mummy Mee and Daddy Dee. And I also agree that we should split the Mizuta twins but let's not do that yet. 09:11, September 30, 2013 (UTC)

When shall we split it? 09:13, September 30, 2013 (UTC)

When we decide when to split the Twins, tell me. I have the manga infobox images already. Montblanc Noland (talk) 19:56, September 30, 2013 (UTC)

So, is everyone ok with splitting the Mizuta Twins? And Mummy Mee and Daddy Dee are still unspliit. 05:41, October 3, 2013 (UTC)

I'm ok with it. 05:42, October 3, 2013 (UTC)

I'm obviously on board with the Mizuta split and Yata splitting Mummy Mee and Daddy Dee. Do you guys want me to handle the Mizuta Twins and upload the images? Montblanc Noland (talk) 12:00, October 5, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, so. I have exerted all my effort to read what you people have debated. As what I voted on the poll above, splitting the Mizuta twins is fine with me. 4:22, October 6, 2013 (UTC)

Sure split it Noland. 08:55, October 6, 2013 (UTC)

All done. Can someone get rid of the "Mizuta Twins" redirect? Montblanc Noland (talk) 12:31, October 6, 2013 (UTC)

Mummy Mee and Daddy Dee split. 16:58, October 6, 2013 (UTC)

Any other articles that need to be split? 10:26, October 10, 2013 (UTC)

Poppy and Pansy. We can just use the voice actors to figure it out and split them. Maybe the Square Sisters. They have a history diversion during the Enies Lobby Courthouse raid. It might not be enough, but what do other people think? Montblanc Noland (talk) 19:59, October 10, 2013 (UTC)

It'd be nice to confirm who Poppy and Pansy are, but I don't think we need to split them. Or the Square Sisters. 02:53, October 14, 2013 (UTC)

Poppy and Pansy are too similar to split, but I see a pretty good case for the square sisters (since they did do different things during Enies Lobby). Gonna have to see how much can be written first though. 02:55, October 14, 2013 (UTC)

This forum is dead. The "decisions" of certain ones seem to have moved to talk pages (and was successful in splitting the Four Wise Men), so I suggest we do it in those. 02:24, October 22, 2013 (UTC)

Discussion 2
After the situation with Poppy and Pansy is solved and the article is split, I think it is prudent to reactivate this forum. Should we split some of the merged characters, depending on the situation? My suggestions are any of them with an official team name are kept (unless they have differing history at some point or a Devil Fruit), while those kept together by "and" should be split, them being: As a side note, I think Mozu and Kiwi should be moved to Square Sisters, just like the Yeti Cool Brothers and Medaka Mermaid Quintuplets. Keep them together by their team name, rather than "[name] and [name]".

Of course, we could discuss each of the articles I've listed individually, who to split and who to keep merged. 01:38, August 25, 2015 (UTC)

I strongly support splitting Abdullah and Jeet, Heppeko crew, and Sodom and Gomorrah. The reasons? The triple article is messy and one has non-canon history. Abdullah and Jeet has different categories and slightly different histories. Sodom and Gomorrah really have different histories. I am okay with other splits, but I'd like to hear reasons. 01:54, August 25, 2015 (UTC)

I think they all should be split except Hotori and Kotori, as they are pretty much impossible to visually tell apart, share the same voice actor, the same personality and are never seen away from each other.

Characters that are visually distinct should be separated, in my opinion. KingCannon (talk) 02:52, August 25, 2015 (UTC)

Splitting these articles would just make it more inconvenient to read. Who needs information about Hotori and not Kotori? Plus, with all the repeated information, we're not doing readers any favors. Merged pages are just easier for the purposes of an encyclopedia. 02:47, August 25, 2015 (UTC)

We can probably get away with separating Sodom and Gomorrah, Abdullah and Jeet, and Bushon and Stevie. The rest appeared at the same time and had the exact same things happen to them, so splitting them would result in a one word difference between articles, which isn't significant enough to justify separating them. That, and/or if we know distinct differences betweent their personalities and abilities like we did with the Funk brothers, we can justify splitting them then. 02:51, August 25, 2015 (UTC)

...I just realized that in the Poppy & Pansy discussion, I accidentally said to keep them separated even though I wanted them to be together. Dammit all...too late now. Here's what I think: If the characters all interact with literally the exact same characters as each other in their entire histories, they should be on the same page. If there's a significant difference, a split might be needed. 03:00, August 25, 2015 (UTC)

Abdullah and Jeet, and Sodom and Gommorah should be split. I'd need to hear more to decide on the other cases. 05:01, August 25, 2015 (UTC)

You know, we could technically split the Risky Brothers to "the taller Risky Brother" and "the shorter Risky Brother", as those are their official credits. But I'd hate to bastardize this discussion.

Abdullah and Jeet belong on the same article. 95% of their articles would be identical. One has never been shown without the other. The only sections that would be different would be appearance, and the brief sentence about their weapons. Their fighting styles actually depend on each other. Quoth the Wiki; " Abdullah and Jeet seem to fight in a sort of tandem style. While people are busy attacking one of them directly, the other attacks the foes from the rear, catching them by surprise" If we did split these two, than we would have to reference to the other in every paragraph. If I were a casual reader who didn't remember ol' Abcruncher and Jetboy, I would be switching between both articles to discover the exact same information. Isn't it better on our end as the providers of organized information to give them both characters on one page? 17:49, August 25, 2015 (UTC)

Risky Brothers don't have separate, actual names (taller and shorter doesn't count as an actual name). Mozu and Kiwi have their individual actual names, but they can go under the title "Square Sisters", like Rock and Scotch under "Yeti Cool Brothers". This also brings up the point of moving Mozu and Kiwi to "Square Sisters". 23:58, August 26, 2015 (UTC)

If they stay as one page, then Square Sisters works as long as that is a sourced name. I personally am for splitting them because of divulging histories and clutter of images on the page.

On the note of Abdullah and Jeet, I understand that they fight in tandem, but so do the Funk Brothers. While I am reluctant to make such a comparison, as Kelly has a Devil Fruit and therefore more reason to be isolated, both pages share the issue of category difference. It's why we splitted Mummy Mee and Daddy Dee. 01:07, August 27, 2015 (UTC)

Yes, clashing categories and subtle history issues arise: And let's not forget that they have different voice actors. 02:30, August 27, 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) Abdullah is a polearm wielder while Jeet is a swordsman.
 * 2) Heppoko, Peppoko, and Poppoko make separate appearances in the anime.
 * 3) Bushon and Stevie had a differing debut location.
 * 4) Sodom and Gomorrah differ in their history as they battled onto Enies Lobby.

I just want to point out that Bushon and Stevie appear in the exact same chapter, on the same page, doing the same job. The skinny one has one or two extra lines and then they always appear together. While I am fine with a split, I thought I should clarify their situation. 02:44, August 27, 2015 (UTC)

From what I remember Bushon and Stevie were never actually revealed who was who anyway and appeared as the same databook entry with just the names being there. I don't know why the article says who is who. SeaTerror (talk) 02:47, August 27, 2015 (UTC)

Probably voice actors. That's how we split up Poppy and Pansy. 02:49, August 27, 2015 (UTC)

Which was speculation since it wasn't canon. SeaTerror (talk) 02:58, August 27, 2015 (UTC)

Which is still more reliable than us guess-working. Heppoko, Peppoko, and Poppoko definitely should be split, since their anime incarnation is different than manga. Abdullah and Jeet for their differing weapons. Bushon and Stevie for a differing starting location. Sodom and Gomorrah for a diverging battle path. 17:07, August 30, 2015 (UTC)
 * I mean, we call the technique Inugami Guren because it was named in the anime. Anime is still more reliable than no source at all. 17:09, August 30, 2015 (UTC)

Making two almost same articles is unnecessary. --Klobis (talk) 07:53, September 2, 2015 (UTC)

Problem is, some of them isn't "almost same". Differing categories should be enough to separate them, such as Abdullah and Jeet. Different anime history (Heppoko, Peppoko and Poppoko). Diverged history (Sodom and Gomorrah). 08:03, September 2, 2015 (UTC)

Split the pokos and Sodom and Gomorrah. 23:28, September 9, 2015 (UTC)

Agree. The Poko split is like splitting the Kero family a long time ago. Also split Abdullah and Jeet.

I just don't get Bushon And Stevie. It's like two sentences of a difference. 01:04, September 11, 2015 (UTC)

That's plenty enough, they have a different starting point. 02:57, September 11, 2015 (UTC)

Split Bushon and Steve guys, the pages have many differences. 11:48, September 25, 2015 (UTC)

I agree that we should either start splitting ir actually get some discussion going. So far, it seems clear enough to split Bushon and Stevie, Sodom and Gomorrah, and the 3 Alvida Pirates. I personally also support splitting Abdullah and Jeet.

We need more discussion or someone just needs to start splitting. We haven't gotton much opposition, and the discussion has been pretty dead since August. If anyone else wanted to protest, we should've seen it by now. 12:05, September 25, 2015 (UTC)

Yup also agree on Abdullah and jeet's case. Can we start splitting those 4 pages guys? And we will discuss the rest later. 07:25, September 26, 2015 (UTC)

Sodom and Gomorrah and Abdullah and Jeet for now. I already gave a reason why Bushon and Stevie shouldn't be split yet. SeaTerror (talk) 20:17, September 26, 2015 (UTC)

Let's split everything else, and we'll poll Bushon and Stevie on their own talk page. This forum has gone on long enough, right guys? 20:24, September 27, 2015 (UTC)

We don't need a poll. We just need somebody to check the databook RAW. SeaTerror (talk) 20:32, September 27, 2015 (UTC)

Regardless, let's start splitting everything else in this forum and discuss it on Talk:Bushon and Stevie. Leaving this forum active while we wait for the work to be done. 20:35, September 27, 2015 (UTC)

I moved the discussion on Bushon and Stevie to their talk page. Now, who is going to split what pages? We need to split Heppoko, Peppoko, and Poppoko, Abdullah and Jeet, and Sodom and Gomorrah. 02:22, September 28, 2015 (UTC)

Oh yeah, and what are we gonna do with these pages too?

All we need now is for the 'pokkos to be split and we can close this. Also, Sodom and Gomorrah need separate infobox images. 23:00, October 2, 2015 (UTC)
