So what does a list of characters need to get to FL? What encyclopedic information is required? —Quasirandom (talk) 23:52, 5 August 2009 (UTC)


 * A creation/conception section, a reception section, and the character descriptions need to be brief, not overly plotty, and well sourced. Major characters only in a non-universe organization, if possible, though with FruBa, doing the usual protagonist/antagonist division might be more difficult. -- AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 00:16, 6 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Hmm. C/C should be relatively easy to pull together from the large number of author statements already cited (including in the separate character articles). Reception will be easier once we finish revamping the main article's Reception. For the descriptions, there's a couple with more plot than characterization/depiction/personality, but most are not very plotty at all (unless my goggles aren't calibrated correctly). Protagonist/antagonist, though, I'm not seeing how. Though Takaya does at one point describe Tohru, Yuki, Kyo, and Shigure and the main four characters. —Quasirandom (talk) 00:50, 6 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, for now I'm inclined to say level the divisions as is, or just do a main/supporting character version. -- AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 01:20, 6 August 2009 (UTC)


 * First followup -- what kind of reception: the cast as a whole? commentary on individual characters as well? Or ... what? —Quasirandom (talk) 02:11, 10 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Primarily the characters and the voice cast (if possible), and a merchandise section. Similar to List of Naruto characters and List of Tokyo Mew Mew characters. -- AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 03:02, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

I've been looking at this for a while, and I think this is a viable topic. It focuses specifically on the anime, and is probably the most feasible part of the franchise. The main article used to be a GA, and some cleanup plus a critical reception section can push it up to GA. The albums lists are FL-able (Discography of Final Fantasy X, List of Final Fantasy compilation albums as examples), and given the sheer amount of coverage the series has, the character list should be FL-able. — sephiroth bcr  ( converse ) 06:03, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Sadly the FA article was merged into a new main article most of the ones npow that do involve haruhi are start class. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 03:45, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
