Talk:Mulan (Disney character)

Fair use rationale for Image:Moolawn1.jpg
Image:Moolawn1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Surname
It's not terribly common for the Chinese to adopt their husbands' surnames. Is there a source for an actual change, or was it just some editor's assumption? — LlywelynII  13:12, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Move proprosal
Wikipedia's all about using the most common name of the character, and after running a quick search of both Mulan and Fa Mulan the former is the most common used name from what the search proved, by a huge margin (2,220,000 give or take for the latter). I know this is a minor thing to complain about but just saying. The most common name is the one that should be used. And Mulan, just Mulan seems to be that. I'm putting this in the discussion so as to "warn" others of my motives because I used to get major flack for minor things like this, so if any objects, or not, or whatever, I'll move the page to Mulan (Disney) per the common name rational.

 * Unnecessary disambiguation. See Aurora (Disney), Snow White (Disney), etc. Fortdj33 (talk) 03:27, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Object clearly it isn't unnecessary, since the movie is also called "Mulan" and is also from Disney. Therefore the disambiguator is ambiguous. Aurora is not the name of the movie, and neither is Snow White (it's called "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves") -- 65.94.78.9 (talk) 04:16, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

Category question
Should this article be added to the category "LGBT characters" owing to the depiction of Mulan as LGBT in Once Upon a Time? I'm uncertain because to date only the TV version of Mulan falls into this category, not the film version. 68.146.70.124 (talk) 17:40, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

Commentary on gender norms
Mulan is a fantastic representation of gender norms and what happens when those norms are violated. Disney shows how there is a clear expectation of what women are supposed to do. In 2 different songs, “Honor to Us All” and “A Girl Worth Fighting For”, they talk about what men want in women. These things include girls with tiny waist, cooks well, thinks her husband is flawless etc. Clearly the masculine view of women is what is being portrayed. Then there is Mulan who can’t seem to fit into this gender norm.

Mulan (Disney character) → Mulan (Disney) – See: Categories for discussion/Log/2014 August 25 --76.175.67.121 (talk) 21:42, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Strong oppose this is not about the Disney Mulan franchise, nor the Disney film Mulan, this is only about the Disney character Mulan. The proposed name is therefore ambiguous disambiguation. And further, the Disney film Mulan would be the most likely sought topic for the proposed title. "Mulan (Disney)" and "Disney's Mulan" should both point to the Mulan (disambiguation) page or the film article, and NOT the character article. -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 05:35, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose I agree that Mulan (Disney) could easily imply the film or franchise over the character.--69.157.253.160 (talk) 03:36, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose As the editor responsible for getting this article to GA status, I would have to say likewise.--Changedforbetter (talk) 05:43, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose. The proposed title is too ambiguous. It could refer to the Disney character, the Disney film, or the Disney franchise. Egsan Bacon (talk) 03:02, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
