Forum:Unnamed/known characters

♫♪Here we go againnnn I think I wanna be more that fr-oh wait <_< >_> Uhm I think this article will probably pop up continuously if we don't decide on a general standard for all these articles. So if it's possible manyhaps we can create a page that redirects from the main article page to a "List of unknown clan members" and when or if they are named they can then graduate to an article page with infobox y todo? Something like this page layout.--Cerez365™ 11:45, June 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Did we talked about this unknown members, to just put them in one single article lol! Maybe we separate if ever the next databook gave their names. --Ilnarutoanime 11:46, June 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think a list of unknown characters is the best option. I see no point in creating articles for people who only appeared once and didn't do anything important to the plot. I don't like the fact that we are creating articles for unnamed characters who have barely done anything.--Deva 27 16:12, June 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * But we have to set perimeters for the "unknown" or else we'll end up with a list filled with people who will probably never be named.--Cerez365™ Hyūga Symbol.svg 16:24, June 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't we put him in the Inuzuka clan article? --Ilnarutoanime 16:32, June 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Not sure what you mean, but he's already listed under "Other clan Members" in the article.--Cerez365™ Hyūga Symbol.svg 16:52, June 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * I've never liked articles on unnamed characters or jutsu. Never ever. Unless it's painfully obvious that it will be named in the the next databook, I don't think it should have an article. Reasons include:
 * The articles are rarely linked to. That means they exist solely for someone to find with Special:Random.
 * On the occasions that the articles are linked to, the articles that link to them are typically equally informative. What does the link in, "Minato was teamed with a member of the Inuzuka clan," provide that the sentence it appears in doesn't?
 * These articles' existence lead to really questionable standards of inclusion. As Cerez points out, we have an article on a character that appears in one panel. Granted, characters like this have been named in databooks before, but we didn't create the articles until they had the name.
 * So I'd like to see many of these articles deleted. I don't even care for the clan lists that much because they scream of, "Hey, did you notice that? 'Cause we did."
 * (Possible exceptions to unnamed stuff come courtesy of the anime. Nameless, single-episode villains have no hope of ever being named, yet are sometimes easier to refer to if they have an article.) ~SnapperTo 19:01, June 17, 2011 (UTC)

How peculiar is it, that this forum talk came in right after i created the page about our new clan Inuzuka member. Vecanoi (talk) 19:08, June 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * It'd be even more peculiar if you were the first one to create it no?--Cerez365™ Hyūga Symbol.svg 19:12, June 17, 2011 (UTC)

So are we going to make a list of unnamed characters or what? There are a lot of unnamed characters that I believe do not deserve to have articles.--Deva 27 22:01, June 17, 2011 (UTC)
