|||
Should Tangle the Lemur, Whisper the Wolf and Sage get added to the page? |
|||
I only ask as for Tangle & Whisper, even though they're in the IDW comics they both are in Sonic Forces Speed Battle and Sonic Dash. And Tangle also gets mentioned in Sonic Frontiers. |
|||
And with Sage, although she's only been in Frontiers game-wise, she was in the Prologue Animation (which is canon too), and Frontiers' mid-credits scene has shown she's to have been restored by Eggman (with it being possible she'll return).

I was mainly wondering whether it's time to add Tom & Maddie to the "Characters in Other Media" section. As they're very important characters for the movie franchise, with them both being in three films as lead characters by the end of the year and Maddie even having a big role in the Knuckles show too (plus they were both in the "Prequill" comic for Sonic 2). |

[[Sonic the Hedgehog|''Sonic'' series]] may have a huge cast however, despite the oversize cast of the series, only about six of them get their own independent article while characters like Amy Rose can get into argument over she can have her own article. For Big, I have been writing a draft about Big within [[User:NatwonTSG2/Sonic#Big the Cat|a sandbox]] and I think it's ready and loaded to become an independent article on [[Wikipedia]] because I was able to find my three best sources which are 14 or 21, 22 and 24. Also for some still-in-topic discussion, I also to believe other ''Sonic'' characters might get it own independent article instead of being a section the list article so.

As said in the criteria, in order to be an entry, the character must have 2 major appearances in either the games or other media. Two entries on this list stand out to me as they’ve only had one major appearance in the games. Those two entrees are the ''Deadly Six'' (besides ''Zavok'') and the ''E-100 Series''. I suggest converting the ''Deadly Six'' section into Zavok’s own section while deleting the ''E-100 Series'' entirely. I also have the same concerns with ''Tikal'', ''Tangle the Lemur'', and the ''Wisps''. Feel free to object.

:Generally supportive of this, though I believe the E-100 Series and Deadly six stuff is going to be a constant maintenance headache because every casual editor is going to assume it was an accidental omission and try to add it in. But then again, this article has really always been one giant maintenance headache, so maybe it's not that big of a factor... |

:The Wisps were here as a compromise from some heated debates years back from an overzealous editor who tried to create their own article that consensus found did not meet our notability requirements.

Should Tom & Maddie Wachowski be added to the "Characters in other media"?
I was mainly wondering whether it's time to add Tom & Maddie to the "Characters in Other Media" section. As they're very important characters for the movie franchise, with them both being in three films as lead characters by the end of the year and Maddie even having a big role in the Knuckles show too (plus they were both in the "Prequill" comic for Sonic 2).

I'm perfectly sure Big should have his own article
Sonic series may have a huge cast however, despite the oversize cast of the series, only about six of them get their own independent article while characters like Amy Rose can get into argument over she can have her own article. For Big, I have been writing a draft about Big within a sandbox and I think it's ready and loaded to become an independent article on Wikipedia because I was able to find my three best sources which are 14 or 21, 22 and 24. Also for some still-in-topic discussion, I also to believe other Sonic characters might get it own independent article instead of being a section the list article so.
