Talk:Princesses (Sailor Moon)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is this page needed? The information contained for Princess Serenity is found on the Tsukino Usagi page, and the other information is basically useless as little to nothing is known about the Senshi in their 'princess' forms, save for their castle names. These can easily be put into their regular profiles. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.224.201.133 (talk • contribs).

I think it is. The motivation behind it was that so much of the Princess information is exactly the same across the board for all the girls. There are (and need to be!) individual Senshi profiles, but there is also one Sailor Senshi page that describes what the roles of the soldiers are. This, similarly, describes the roles they had as royalty, before and after Earth. --Masamage 05:17, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
I have to disagree. On the pages for the Senshi most list their princess form as an alias, and already state the information that is here (Saturn not being active within the Silver Millennium, Venus being the leader, etc.) as a part of the character biography for the manga. This means that the information is already contained elsewhere.
The point of this article is to talk about the planetary princesses, yet Venus' section in particular goes into much detail about Sailor Venus and what she does after her re-incarnation, when she is no longer Princess Venus. Most other sections do not have any new information outside of what has already been written in the introductory paragraph, and those that do are just fan speculation which is not backed up by the manga (Jupiter being the strongest Inner Senshi, how Uranus/Neptune felt about the other Senshi, the status of the Uranus/Neptune relationship in the Silver Millennium) or inaccuracies (Pluto not being reborn as a human, when it was clearly stated that she was reincarnated by Neo Queen Serenity in the Infinity arc of the manga). If these were corrected, there would be even less information then there is now.
It basically comes down to the fact that this information is listed in each Senshi biography already. All we know about the princesses (except Serenity and Small Lady) are their castle names and gown colors - Naoko Takeuchi simply did not give any background on them. Because there is so little information, and the correct information listed here is just repeated elsewhere, I believe this article is (while formatted nicely) redundant. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.224.201.133 (talk • contribs).
I could defend things better if I weren't so discouraged, but for starters, I meant that Jupiter is physically strongest, which is not only obvious but stated in the Materials Collection. The Sailor Venus stuff is only from the very beginning of her reincarnation and it's all very closely tied with her past duties. And my understanding about Pluto was that she was reincarnated, but as a Senshi, not as a human. (Like the Starlights.)
You're more than welcome to fix any inaccuracies, or if not, I'll address them. Or maybe only the introductory paragraph is needed. Regardless, I still think it's necessary and a good solution for the nine stubs that were floating around. I'm sure we're not the only two people with opinions. --Masamage 15:53, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
This page is being redirected as consensus from the Sailor Moon Talk page. If you would like to disagree, address your grievances there. All the talk apage are also being redirecxted to that page, as a home page. Hitsuji Kinno 17:33, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
You suggested doing this all of three days ago, in a place where those interested in the fate of this article might not see it. There's a talk page here for a reason. --Masamage 17:46, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
