Dude, stop. English names are not transferred across different characters. Big Convoy is not Big Prime. Gren is not Hook. Gaia Guardian is not Gaia Defensor, etc. Mimi 21:50, 14 September 2013 (EDT)
- Big Convoy has never been named in English, Gren's never been named as that, and Gaia Guardian doesn't have an English name. Those examples don't work at all. Escargon 21:55, 14 September 2013 (EDT)
- You are severely missing the point. The Kre-O character has no name, English or otherwise. All we have is the assumed intent of the writer (so, "Alexa"). What applies to the original character does not automatically apply to homages, as I've shown with my examples.
- And, frankly, if you had an issue, a better method of action would have been discussing rather than automatically reverting the preference of the person taking the time to make those pages! Mimi 22:03, 14 September 2013 (EDT)
- Mimi has a point. using the Alexis/Alexa Kre-o as an example; this wiki typically uses the Japanese name unless/until and English name is made. So, while the Kre-O character might be based off Alexis from Armada, we must call her what the comic calls her. And since the comic calls her nothing, author intent is all we have to go on. I say stick with Alexa but keep the reference to Alexis in the notes/Stevo 22:27, 14 September 2013 (EDT)
