Forum:Birkans: Unofficial Name

The name Birkans is not official, as Oda never gave it to us in anyway (unless I missed it). I think some editor just made it up based on the word "Birka". Therefore, it is unofficially named (fan term), and should be deleted. Please discuss about it. Yatanogarasu 20:38, April 9, 2011 (UTC)

While the name is probably true (If a country ends in a vowel the citizens are usually called something-an (america->American; Skypiea->Skypiean; Morocco->Moroccan etc.) I feel that Birkans could easily be merged with Birka instead of being deleted. Angel Emfrbl created the Birkan page, so we should probably wait to hear her input though Panda 20:49, April 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * While we're on the subject, is Skypieans and Shandians official too? I think Shandians is, but I don't think I ever heard of Skypieans. If not, let's merge it, after this discussion is finalized. Yatanogarasu 21:55, April 9, 2011 (UTC)

You are going conjectural-names-crazy. The fact that some name is unofficial is not a reason alone to merge/delete/... an article! It's only an additional reason to get rif of articles about minor, insignificant things. I don't remember about Skypieans, but to merge the two pages is not a good idea, I think: we have a separate article for each race/tribe, and it would be strange and inconsistent not to have it for Skypieans or Birkans.

 * Yeah, it they are too short, then merge. If they are long, like Franky Schematics or one of the fake Straw Hats that haven't been named yet, then we keep. But let's hear some opinions on how to handle Birkans and Skypieans. Yatanogarasu 23:16, April 9, 2011 (UTC)
