[edit] Comment
I really doubt if this is notable but it seems to have been created early enough for to put this on WP:VfD. JuntungWu 02:16, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- April O'Neil is an integral character to one of the most signifigant pop culture phenomonas of the eighties and early nineties. Even if she wasn't a queen of Spain she is notable enough to keep an entry. If Final Fantasy gets to have every minute detail of every game in the series there then April should at least get a standard entry. If anything this needs to be redone, some parts are really redundant and poorly written and there is barely anything mentioned about the character from the source material instead this seems entirely focused on the cartoon character.

Okay, I know I'm the one who suggested that the article should be expanded but this is just overkill now. This isn't supposed to be an April O'Neil fansite this is just supposed to be a simple encyclopedia entry. There are way too many images and some of them are kind of creepy. Look at some other comic book character entries or any other entry for a fictional character of other mediums. You'll see that none of them have a fan art section. This is because fan art doesn't belong here. Furthermore this obsession with the one episode furry version of her is just plain unsettling not to mention not signifigant or important to the article in any way.--Stranger Dan 17:33, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] 1987
"In 1987, having been employed at Channel 6 for less than a year, April was reporting on a series of thefts of high-tech scientific equipment, apparently by ninja, (ostensibly components Shredder was securing for use in the Technodrome) when she came under attack by a gang of punks."
It must mean the 1987 cartoon. They never said which year it was in the cartoon. And April celebrated one year at Channel 6 during season 3 (the episode "Invasion of the Turtle Snatchers"), not during season one.

Was KMRG the call letters of any station the O'Neil worked for? --SparqMan 19:02, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Portable Computer
In the 1987 cartoon series, her portable computer was an old one from the 80s where the screen's background is black while the wording she types in is in a certain colour when back then, computers had a colour restriction. In the 2003 cartoon series, her portable computer was a modern type where the Internet can be accessed, and the in-screen is multi-coloured. --PJ Pete

[edit] Was April O'Neil originally Black?
I heard a rumor that April O'Neil was originally intended to be African American. I see her first original appearances she has different prominent features. Maya Levy 01:43, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
- All TMNT comics prior to the animated series' first air date quite clearly depict a swarthy woman with features that hint at her being Black (e.g. full lips; a curly hairstyle, possibly the then-popular Jheri curl). Have Eastman and Laird themselves wrote this off on the record as purely coincidental?Kuahmel (talk) 07:08, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
