Minions Height

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I got here from digging through some (admittedly hilarious) web pages on how big objects/people in the Despicable Me universe are, and I see that many people seem to be referencing this un-sourced claim that the height of a minion is 3.5ft. From what I can see, this claim was added here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Minions_(Despicable_Me)&oldid=884322984. If no one can provide an actual citation for this, it should be removed, no?

Agree that it should be removed if there isn't a citation, I saw a reddit thread that suggested the height claim originated from this site: https://www.animationsource.org/despicableme/en/custom/&id_film=135&nump=8491 but I'm inclined to disagree with that given many images of minions pictured next to bananas suggest they're much smaller than 3.5 ft. Unless the bananas are also larger in the Minions Cinematic Gru-niverse.

Minions Article

I hope you all understand to leave my edit alone. It’s annoying when others try to edit the article again.

Thank you, Themostoriginalusernameever Themostoriginalusernameever (talk) 12:00, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

See WP:BRD and WP:OWN. Once your edits have been reverted, discuss them rather than simply reinstating your preferred version. Also your edit implies a desire to own or look after the article personally - as per this article - you can't do that. Chaheel Riens (talk) 14:45, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

Minions Leadership

I think the Leaders section of the article needs an update. Scarlet is presumed deceased according to the plot of the Minions movie. El Macho was the temporary leader. According to the chronology of the current three Despicable Me movies, Gru is now a former leader and Dru is the Minions' current leader. 96.227.101.134 (talk) 08:22, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

1933-1945

We should add who the minions served from 1933-1945, of course if it’s not canon don’t add it, but if it is, well, we know who to add.. 2601:246:900:1E20:313E:A4B9:A4E7:BE02 (talk) 05:18, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

– Ever since the Despicable Me came out, Minions always refer to the Despicable Me characters. The official Minions Twitter account uses @Minions. Also, nearly all of the results when you search up Minions all refer to these characters. I don't know why this move hasn't been made sooner. Thomasfan1000 (talk) 22:14, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

Minions (Despicable Me) → Minions (characters) – I would like to revisit the argument I made in the last move discussion ten days ago. These characters have been around for the last twelve years now and at this point "Despicable Me" is not entirely the best modifier anymore, "characters" is more appropriate as these guys are literally promoted everywhere nowadays.

  • Support You know, this could be a perfect move. As I understand that the term Minions has been around way before 2010. But you are right, Minions have kind of been associated as its own thing in terms of merchandise and such, and they are the most well known characters known as Minions.

@Thomasfan1000, Old Naval Rooftops, Adumbrativus, Your Power, Loriendrew, Netoholic, Zxcvbnm, and Necrothesp: Excluding the IP, since you guys were involved in the last move request, I would like to invite you all to contribute to this discussion. JE98 (talk) 18:43, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

Minions Home Country

In this article the minions are said to have come from Switzerland, but in Minions (Despicable Me) they are said to have been living in Russia. Were they living in a Swiss ice cave or a Russian ice cave? Do we have any undeniable proof for either? TsarTzar (talk) 22:51, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Who did the Minions serve from 1933 to 1945?

Does this really need to have its own section? I was under the impression that this was just a meme. No sources are cited, either. Should this be just deleted? I am in 9 (talk) 06:56, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
