Re: can a namesake apply to a video game character?
in reply to a message by flipendhoe
Video game characters are fictional characters just as named characters in works of literature or films. There is a criterion that a fictional character should be "notable" that is somewhat soft. The main characters of a notable fictional work are notable, just peripheral characters occurring only in one short scene aren't, but there is a gray range in between those poles. As a rule of thumb: When the character is in the (English) Wikipedia, it is notable.
