Trivia
A trivia section with one item, which is an almost character-defining fact, is moronic. The fact that this trio are numbered rather than named is not a trivial fact. I will revert any edit putting the trivia section back unless it is adding other facts and accompanied by reasons why this should be considered trivia. --Thepdv (talk) 22:29, September 22, 2018 (UTC)
 * Those are their names, and that's where that note goes on every character article. You don't want to follow article consistency, be my guest. Munchvtec (talk) 22:48, September 22, 2018 (UTC)
 * Article consistency my moldy toenail; there are many pages which include the literal translation in the top-level name, particularly when it's as significant as *literally being numbered instead of names*. If you have a source for the three of them having the names One, Two, and Three before becoming his followers, then you have a leg to stand on. Until then, you have none. --Thepdv (talk) 23:00, September 22, 2018 (UTC)
 * What? How many character articles do that? Do you have a source for their names not being those previously? They literally called each other by name in-film. You've gone and done nothing but add that they're nameless (a fanon point) and mess with article format. Munchvtec (talk) 23:07, September 22, 2018 (UTC)
 * I checked and could not find any actual Japanese people whose given name was a number kanji. That, plus the idiocy it would imply for someone to go looking for minions whose names were already One, Two, and Three - with One and Three being close enough in appearance to be twins - are sufficient evidence. And it took me only five pages of Special:Random, skipping episode titles, to find an example. --Thepdv (talk) 23:37, September 22, 2018 (UTC)
 * Articles do usually have literal translations up there, but never character articles. Those always go in the trivia section. Go through every character article whose name actually means something, is a play on words, or something like that. Always in trivia. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:40, September 22, 2018 (UTC)
 * Most articles don't have it, because for most articles it would be meaningless gibberish. For groups and characters whose names have specific meanings and reason to think those meanings are in-universe deliberate (codenames of ANBU, Pain's six paths, people who are literally numbered) it is obviously correct to put that information front and center in the field that the translation template has for that purpose. --Thepdv (talk) 23:46, September 22, 2018 (UTC)
 * Nope. Names are just names. You are also inserting false information by saying they're nameless. That's how they were credited, and that's how every source of information on this movie lists them. If you insist on changing it, I'll have to block you. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:51, September 22, 2018 (UTC)
