Talk:Toei Animation/Voice Actors

Why did you remove the nicknames of some of the characters (i.e., Pearl the Iron Wall or Gin the Deam Man). I find that unnecessary... - BattleFranky202 13:29, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Mass Deletion
I think all articles about voice actors and seiyu should be all deleted. Most of them are stubs, and they don't really have much relations to articles of One Piece, other than minor references. If we want to link to such articles, we should link them externally to Wikipedia, rather than create a small, insignificant article in One Piece Wikia. Yatanogarasu 17:45, 19 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Also they are largely responsible for the high number of red links. I think the stub pages shall be redirected toward the wikipedia pages if it exist and the link removed if it doesn't. Kdom 12:43, January 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree. A Wikipedia article about a VA wil always be better then our one because they should include a full list about their roles in other anime or dubs which is completely unrelated to One Piece. El Chupacabra 14:36, January 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * That's about 190 articles you guys are asking for deletion. Kinda of alot of hard work was put into making them and kinda alot more hard work to delete them. Practically an entire section of the entire wikia.


 * From what I gather from some of these actors, many of them aren't covered in Wikipedia. Mostly the Japanese cast I believe.


 * For the red links of the actors, they are primarily red because they are kinda wanted. Not everyone who writes down an actor's name knows a good enough deal about them to make a good article. Those that do however can click on the red link and aid the community.Mugiwara Franky 14:54, January 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * we are not speaking of deletion but redirection toward wikipedia articles which have more chance to evolve than here. Also I'm pretty sure it would solve half of the Red links (I tried 4 randomly and their wikipedia page exist) Kdom 15:11, January 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Which pages are these again?Mugiwara Franky 15:16, January 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure I understand your question... Kdom 15:33, January 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay, I tried using the redirecting code with Mayumi Tanaka so that it would redirect to her Wikipedia article. When I wrote her name on our search engine, it just led to the redirect page on our wikia not her Wikipedia page. So even if the goal is redirection, we are still going to have to delete 190 articles.Mugiwara Franky 15:25, January 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Why not keep the redirect page ? The actor names are also in the character boxes and probably in other articles too. Even if the search engine does not provide a direct link, it is not that difficult to access to the information Kdom 15:33, January 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * That's the thing, a redirect page is a page that supposed to redirect people to the proper page directly. If the page is just going to redirect you a empty page with just a link then it's basically a double redirect which a bit of hassle for some people. I'm going to test it out again for short while though to see if it redirects people to the right page via normal linking.Mugiwara Franky 15:42, January 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * No go either. If I go to Luffy's page and then click on Mayumi Tanaka, it'll just go to the redirect page on our wikia. For it to truly go to her page on Wikipedia directly, it will have to be a direct link on Luffy's page to Wikipedia. This would have to apply to the other ariticles as well. That however will mean not only deleting 190 articles, but also changing 190+ links that go to 190 articles within our wikia to 190+ links that go directly to Wikipedia.Mugiwara Franky 15:47, January 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well if you prefer having 50% of the 190 pages with only Mr x is born then and this much high. In One Piece he dubs xxxx and yyyy only to please some lazy guys... Maybe we can ask the Mediawiki staff is there is a solution for that redirection thing Kdom 15:57, January 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * If the state of the articles is the problem then the solution to it would be to create a committee or something to help improve the articles. Saying delete or redirect almost right off the bat to a rather massive problem like this is kinda like choosing a quick lazy shortcut instead of investing some time to fix the problem. True fixing the pages would take a very long and exhausting time however construction would certainly be better than deconstruction. The wikia wasn't built in a single day and it's still not finished in a way.


 * You know, this same type of problem occurred with the Episodes and Chapters. There were all one time or another asked to be deleted I believe. However since they were given enough time, they're currently looking greatly improved than what they looked like before.Mugiwara Franky 16:13, January 30, 2010 (UTC)
