The Incredible Vanishing VAs

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

Voice actors Takeshi Kaga and Masatoshi Hamada used to have pages to themselves. Now putting their names in or clicking on their names in the second movie cast list just redirects me to the list of Japanese VAs.

And it can't be that they haven't done any other roles or the sizes of the roles, because Akiko Yajima has a page and she was only Molly (like Jirarudan and for the most part Slowking, a single-movie character).

And the VA list has no Discussion so that's no good. So where'd they go?

Click the little "redirected from" text under the title of the page. Then enjoy.

 

[Transfinite]

tte i think she was asking why the pages were redirected to a list

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

Yeah. They used to have actual articles. Now trying to access those only gives me a page that lists VAs rather than specific content.

Project VA have new notability standards which you can see on the project page.

Takeshi Kaga and Masatoshi Hamada each did only one role in one movie, and therefore, under the notability standards (which several admins wrote together; I remember at least me, KG and Deth being present at that chat), Kenji-girl redirected them. We haven't had the time to go over ALL VAs yet, especially the Japanese ones, so Akiko Yajima was still there until I just redirected it a moment ago. Any reason why you disagree?

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

That's odd. For the sake of completeness, shouldn't there be at least "X was the voice of Y in movie Z"?

 

[electAbuzzzz]

Yes. That's what the list of voice actors is for.

[bp=User:electAbuzzzz/Quality]Do we really need[/bp] a whole page with just that line?

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

I find it funny that you claim Allergyshipping is an insignifigant ship when it's one of the biggest in that entire manga series.

 

[Transfinite]

Yeah, but, um... it's not exactly a popular series, Blackjack.

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

True, but it's big for its source. I think the only ship that'd compare would be Akari and Akira.

 

[electAbuzzzz]

I'm sorry, who and who?

my main point in the paragraph about shipping is that we should only list the most important ships in the fandom - the ones that actually make a difference. The average fan has no idea who these characters are because they don't read the series. It's a minor ship.

 

[Maverick Nate]

Which, I think minor ships could be grouped together in a bigger page, maybe in a template with the name, who with who, and then a little description of the ship. Maybe for things with only two or three hints?

 

[MAGNEDETH]

i think the shipping thing is a whole new can of worms. a big, giant, massive can of worms.

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

Maybe per series, because PokeWake is small to begin with, but within it, Allergyshipping is pretty big.

Hell, Magical Pokemon Journey is small and it's bursting at the seams with ships considering it's a romance comic.

How about leaving the Shipping side to me, eh? I've got plans for those articles, by the way, so it should not be an issue. *and evkl knows it* *would also like to be told when people are making major additions to the articles...electAbuzzzz <.<*

It was EB approved. Heck, it was EB idea. And since I know you're working on a putting some order into those articles anyway, we figured we'll create some categories to help ourselves see what falls under them.

You're the Project Leader, but those articles are still a part of Bulbapedia and belong to all of us.
