Talk:List of Sonic the Hedgehog characters/Archive 6

Can Sage be on the page now?
SPOILERS: Sage has now appeared in two games, both Sonic Frontiers and The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog. And considering the criteria, can she be added to the page? Plus it's likely that she'll be in more future games too, Tribal-Mand0 (talk) 02:57, 3 April 2023 (UTC)


 * No. She must have two substantial appearances in either the comics or games as per the list criteria. Sage in The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog doesn’t do anything substantial. Pizzaplayer219TalkContribs 16:48, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Seconded. Sergecross73   msg me  16:55, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

WHERE IS MECHA SONIC!!!!????
Please add him okay? 3rf8ugeruifcg e3tiuv befwwk jfkvgnewfmfhvi (talk) 20:53, 2 February 2023 (UTC)


 * He CANONONICLY showed up and fought Sonic 2ice!!! 3rf8ugeruifcg e3tiuv befwwk jfkvgnewfmfhvi (talk) 21:01, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Please read the inclusion criteria at the top of the page. Sergecross73   msg me  21:02, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Considering that Mecha Sonic appeared in more than one game, I'd say he qualifies for inclusion. Bluest Bird (talk) 07:45, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Feel free to workshop an entry that meets the inclusion criteria here. Sergecross73   msg me  13:56, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
 * He also appeared in the comics (More specifically, he was the main antagonist in Sonic the Hedgehog: Scrapnik Island.) Pizzaplayer219TalkContribs 14:19, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Please fix the “installments” typo on the following line found in the Vector the Crocodile section: “In all instalmentsBold text of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, he is a playable athlete.” 2603:9001:6F07:61C0:154B:F8FB:9D5F:8B96 (talk) 01:18, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

Please omit the false claim that Vector is a “modern exclusive” character in the following line: “Vector was also the only 'Modern exclusive' character (besides Shadow) to appear in the Sonic Boom franchise,” Although redesigned for the “modern” era, Vector was still introduced in the “classic” era, making this statement both unnecessary and false.

(God, the amount of errors on this page is making me want to make a Wikipedia account!) 2603:9001:6F07:61C0:154B:F8FB:9D5F:8B96 (talk) 01:25, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

Silver the Hedgehog comment (fan dislike)
The 2 sources cited to support the claim of Silver being disliked by all fans are merely opinion pieces when actually explored, but their inclusion on the article is prefaced with the assertion that fans widely agree on this issue.

That’s an impossible measure and way too subjective, meaning the comment is false and misleading.

The same source, when read fully, goes on to insinuate other characters are hated by a specific ranking which is simply unsourced itself or unverifiable.

If the sources were actually talking about demonstrated fan feedback or evidence from the fan community itself, that would be different. But the sources don’t do that.

Citing 2 blatant opinion pieces from non-authorized sources should not be allowed. Thus the comment should be removed. 2607:FEA8:1C1E:6800:11FA:8167:F470:85AD (talk) 15:04, 14 July 2023 (UTC)


 * I'm not following - why are opinion pieces off limits for the reception of a character. That's what reception is - opinions. Sergecross73   msg me  15:46, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I’ll agree with the IP’s point but not fully on the reasoning, because both sources are by Jim Sterling. I’d be okay with it being stated it’s his opinion, but knowing how pointed he can be I wouldn’t say he speaks for all fans in any given situation.  Red Phoenix  talk  18:02, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
 * The current prose just says The character has generally not been very well received by critics, not anything related to the fanbase, but I agree that if both are Sterling, then we need to either adjust the wording or find another source or two so we can justify saying "critics". Sergecross73   msg me  18:56, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Agreed. I thought on it but couldn’t as of yet sort how to do it given it’s a paragraph on its own and I think it would be undue weight to give Sterling the weight of a paragraph in this list.  Red Phoenix  talk  19:31, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Missing Carecter
"Sticks the badger" is a badger from sonic boom and it is missing in the carecter section can somebody please add it? Connorj2341 (talk) 15:56, 1 September 2023 (UTC)


 * She's already on the list. At the bottom, at List of Sonic the Hedgehog characters. Sergecross73   msg me  16:18, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you i did not see it Connorj2341 (talk) 15:49, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Shadow the Hedgehog
I'm merging shadow the hedgehog into list of sonic characters! 2A02:842A:864E:E101:C898:A18A:CBC0:55D9 (talk) 14:06, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

Fang the "Sniper" is now called Fang the "Hunter" by official sources (even in Japanese), his section name (as in the headliner called Fang the Sniper) in this article should reflect that. 155.4.59.43 (talk) 04:24, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 15:22, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

I believe it is about time for Amy Rose to have her own article
I believe this article about Amy Rose is ready for publication. Amy Rose is notable. She has been around since 1993, i.e., for 30 years at the time of writing this. That is enough time for people to be aware of her existence. Amy has been a playable character in multiple games, a major non-playable character in others, and has been featured in a plethora of other media. What will it take for her to have her own article? I believe enough years have passed, a bunch of reliable sources have been cited, and sufficient edits have been made for this article to be polished to a level where it is ready to be published and viewed by the general public. Will it take her appearance in a future feature-length film for this article to be published? If anyone disagrees, please feel free to provide your explanation as to why Amy can't have her own article. I would love to hear it, but with all due respect, I truly hope a consensus is reached where everyone agrees that she should have her own separate article before another decade goes by.

 * On Wikipedia, whether or not a subject has its own article isn't dependent on how many games or films they appear in. It's whether or not it meets the WP:GNG. I'd recommend looking into the reasons her article was eliminated before, and providing evidence on how things have changed, instead, as that would be far more persuasive. I can dig up past discussions for you if you're serious about pursuing this. Sergecross73   msg me  00:22, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
