Inclusion criteria

Characters can be added to their list if either the work they appear in is notable (per WP:GNG), the character themselves is notable, or if the character's gender has been covered by multiple reliable sources. If none of these criteria apply, a character should be excluded from the list.

Determining whether a character is non-binary: Characters are considered non-binary when either a reliable source identifies them as such, or it is confirmed explicitly in either the work itself or by the character's creator(s).
Determining whether a character is eligible: A character is eligible for this list if their gender identity matches in some way human experience of gender. This excludes non-gendered or multi-gendered alien species and non-gendered artificial intelligence in genres such as science fiction. This is done to keep the list meaningful and useful. Some fictional species that are highly similar to humans may be eligible for this list if their understanding of gender is comparable to that of humans.

This notice is on the talk page; it should really be an editnotice. Sceptre (talk) 18:28, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In light of the RFC about inclusion of Loki (MCU), I'd like to request that the notice be changed to the following:

Determining whether a character is eligible: A character is eligible for this list if the character or work they appear in is notable, specifically if the character is a main or recurring character. This is meant to keep the list meaningful and useful.

While I can understand the urge to limit the page to characters whose "gender identity matches in some way human experience of gender" and exclude "non-gendered or multi-gendered alien species and non-gendered artificial intelligence in genres such as science fiction," in an attempt to "keep the list meaningful and useful", as Sceptre stated in an edit in August 2019, I'd argue that this is too limiting, as pages the List of fictional intersex characters, List of fictional asexual characters, List of fictional trans characters, List of fictional pansexual characters, List of fictional gay characters, List of fictional lesbian characters, List of fictional bisexual characters, List of lesbian characters in anime, List of lesbian characters in animation, List of bisexual characters in anime, List of bisexual characters in animation, or List of fictional aromantic characters do not have similar notices. I also feel that the current notice, if applied strictly, could lead to a great number of the entries on the List of fictional non-binary characters being imperiled, which would be bad for the hundreds of people who visit it every day, looking for information.

Note the new sentence added to the 1st bullet point. As the scope discussion has wound down, I expect this will be the last change request for a while at least. Thanks. Nosferattus (talk) 02:46, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
