Talk:List of magical girls

Some characters are not magical girls
Some characters listed on this page are not magical girls or not from magical girl series. Magical girl is a very specific genre originating from Japan that heavily depends on young girls using magical powers, where transforming into an alter-ego is key to using powers to solve their problems. It does not mean "any female character who can use magic." In addition, I noticed you listed villains like Izuru from Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch, who is not a magical girl because older women are almost never magical girls. lullabying (talk) 20:59, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Regarding the redirect
