Name source proposal, a draft?
Rethink names sourcing, again
I am proposing a change to the policy for sourcing subject names across languages, as I disagree with the current one, in place since this proposal.
The reasoning:
- The best way to ensure subject names across languages are correct, like with most kinds of information, is through the vigilance of readers/editors, which can spot incorrect information.
- Citations for names are important because they make it possible/easier to verify whether they are correct.
- Not all names are made easier to verify by adding a simple citation. The current policy requires these to be sourced regardless, as long as the name is from a non-English language. In most cases this is pointless busywork.
Point #1: Names that need not be sourced
- Names do not need to be sourced if they are found in game, and if their location is self-explanatory. Examples include:
- Character names from character selection screens and similar UI elements;
- Enemy names in RPGs where enemies' names appear when targeted, or games with enemy encyclopedias;
- Item names in games with inventories where item names are displayed;
- Stage and area names displayed when selecting or entering a stage or area;
- Although a source is not required, one may be added if it aids in verifiability, such a link to a YouTube video or a screenshot.
Point #2: Names that should be sourced
- Names should be sourced if they is not found in game, or if their location in game is not self-explanatory. Examples include:
- Names from character dialogue — should mention which character says the line, and (if applicable) when and where. In addition, editors would be encouraged to directly cite the line of dialogue;
- Names (A) found within other names (B) (such as enemies mentioned in the names of stages or collectibles) — should mention and link to the subject whose name (B) is being used as a source. If linking is not possible, and the name (B) being used as a source is a category of name that should be sourced (point #1), it should be sourced in the article for A; (I have worded this in a very confusing way. TODO: try not to.)
- Names from non-game sources — same as currently;
- As with point #1, the source may additionally include a YouTube video, screenshot, or other way of directly verifying.
Point #3: Names across languages
- The same criteria should be used for every language, including English.
Point #4: Names across different media
- Subjects often have different names in different media (games etc.) A source should thus be provided for the subject's name in each piece of media it appears in, if applicable (according to points #1 and #2).

Deadline: [insert a deadline here, 14 days after the proposal was created, at 23:59 GMT, in the format: "October 18, 2024, 23:59 GMT"]
