Re: Submitted Pop culture names
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.
