ArchivesSubmitted Pop culture names
Some keeps deleting pop culture names from the submitted names database!
The names are:
T'Challa: Marvel's Black Panther
Shuri: The Black Panther (T'Challa's) younger sister, who, in the comics, becomes the Black Panther when her brother falls into a coma.
Midna: one of the main characters from the legend of zelda: Twilight Princess.
Malon: a recurring character in the Legend of Zelda series
Sinara: the secondary antagonist in the first half of the fifth season of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..
Why do these name keep getting deleted!? They are notable fictional characters and they deserve to be in the database as much as Hela, Fandral or Kida.

Editors are supposed to mark why they deleted the name but the particular editor that deleted these names didn't leave a reason, which I grant you is frustrating.
I think if the name is from the film Black Panther its notable, as millions saw the film. If the name is from a comic book which is focused on a subcategory culture of people who read comic books (which are millions less than went to see the film) then its more likely to be deleted as "non-notable fictional use" which is one of the reasons we can delete a name.
That being said, Mike C is currently discussing with editors a "protocol" on what defines a name as relevant to pop-culture and what should instead be placed in Literature or another category.

I'm not the ones deleting them, so I can't say why these in particular are being deleted, but I do sometimes delete Pop Culture names when the submitter doesn't tell us anything about the name. You don't come here to read about characters, you come to read about names. If I wanted to know where I'd heard the name T'Challa, I'd just google it. If I want to know why they named him T'Challa, I'd check BTN. Tell us why the show/movie creators picked that name; otherwise it's information you can find anywhere and not name-specific. Especially when they're not one of the main characters. Link? Sure. Notable. Malon? Not really; I'd need to be given a good reason to keep it.
"as much as Hela, Fandral, and Kida."
-truthfully, I'd have no problem deleting Fandral. Kida got actual use on actual children following the Atlantis movie. That's notable. Hela is (per you, I haven't verified) at least linked to Hel.
