Separate pages for some of the (main) characters?

This show has been around for more than 10 years now, I think that is long enough for separate pages for main characters like Timmy, Cosmo and Wanda. Who is with me? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.238.200.250 (talk) 14:48, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

I had created drafts for the trio last month via AFC, awaiting review by Robert McClenon. Vicky is way overdue while I have zero certainty of creating Chloe as of late.

Vicky is a main

Vicky is a main character. Please stop spinning her off to the Antagonists section. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:50, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Even Fandom Wikia retains a copy of the opening credits title screen, and Vicky is clearly shown there along with the other major characters. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 23:57, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

• https://fairlyoddparents.fandom.com/wiki/The_Fairly_OddParents!_Theme_Song
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93cRWpQ3KkM random YouTube video that captured season 1, 9, and 10 opening sequences.

The intro and Fandom are not reliable sources to confirm that Vicky is one of the main characters. 67.82.112.107 (talk) 18:18, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

The YouTube videos themselves are not the sources, it's the cite episode that shows it to be a WP:BLUE fact. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 21:12, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

What cite episode? 67.82.112.107 (talk) 22:26, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

http://web.archive.org/web/20191218193043/https://www.nick.com/shows/the-fairly-oddparents:

"With an evil babysitter, a hyperactive dog, and off-the-wall parents, Timmy Turner is just your average boy navigating his way through childhood in his little town of Dimsdale. But while other kids are dealing with their parents, Timmy is busy managing The Fairly Oddparents. Wait… What?!

When Timmy has a problem, all he has to do is turn to Cosmo and Wanda for some magical, mystical and totally outrageous solutions. With Fairy Godparents as wacky as Cosmo and Wanda (and as cute as Baby Poof), Timmy gets more "help" than he bargained for, and some awesome adventures too!"

https://www.nick.com/shows/the-fairly-oddparents lists: Timmy Turner, Cosmo, Wanda, Vicky, Mr. and Mrs. Turner, AJ, Chester, and Jorgen

https://www.thegamer.com/the-fairly-oddparents-vicky-no-sense/ "We all remember the iconic opening of The Fairly OddParents. It immediately lets you know what the show is about and is super catchy. Once the opening ends and we get to the title card, we see Vicky, Timmy, Cosmo, and Wanda. Every episode, Vicky's head is changed to an object that is relevant to the episode. " AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 03:38, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

That’s not a reliable source [personal attack removed]. It does not have an actual list of who is in the main characters category. Vicky is a villain, not a main character. The intro is also not valid either. Leave the article alone or else you’re gonna get it. 208.83.112.200 (talk) 11:30, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

Pinging multiple WikiProjects regarding this. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 15:54, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

The opening credits to a TV show is definitive as to who is main cast in the show, or not. Period. If this character is listed in the show's opening credits with the other main cast, then they are "main" cast. End of discussion. Further, cast should never be divided into 'Protagonist' and "Antagonist'/'Villain' sections anyway, as per WP:TVCAST and WP:ANTAGONIST. Finally, I am giving IP 208.83.112.200 a warning for WP:NPA. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:39, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

I agree with that other IP. The opening credits do not always reveal who is main. They can also have supporting characters within the opening credits as well. [personal attack removed] and once the page is no longer under protection, I’m vowing to continue edit warring and you guys should really burn in the fire. Thank you. Have a great weekend, [personal attack removed]. 67.82.112.107 (talk) 23:02, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

@IJBall: I haven't watched Fairly OddParents in years, but as I recall, the opening doesn't have any "credits", it just showcases certain characters, so I don't know how much weight we should throw behind who is or isn't appearing in the opening. And as far as I'm aware, animation doesn't have a separate set of guidelines to help clarify on this (ie saying characters in the opening should or shouldn't be considered "main"). - Favre1fan93 (talk) 15:53, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

The next thing to check would be the end credits to see if there are crediting "categories", or a crediting "order". But I know at least some animated shows do have meaningful opening credits – e.g. Big City Greens. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:56, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

I agree about looking at the end credits next. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:22, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

The end credits don't really split out the main from the supporting: https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/tv-shows/The-Fairly-OddParents/ click on green checkmarks for screenshots AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 02:49, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

There are also the lyrics for the opening song, which mention Mom, Dad, Vicky; and season 10 mentions the new girl. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 03:16, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

AngusWOOF, that doesn't justify Vicky being a main character. Timmy's parents are also in the opening and ending credits, but that doesn't make them main characters. The Nickelodeon link you showed early doesn't justify Vicky as a main character either, since it also shows Chester, AJ, Timmy's parents, and Jorgen. They are also not main characters either. Stop making excuses. 67.82.112.107 (talk) 17:57, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

I don't see any good cause for delisting Vicky as a main character. --StellarNerd (talk) 18:39, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

StellarNerd, shut up. There is good cause for delisting Vicky as a main character. [personal attack removed]. 67.82.112.107 (talk) 20:44, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Main just means production considers the character important to the story and a prominent important character. It has nothing to do with being a protagonist (hero) or an antagonist (villain). The question is how important is this character, does the production illustrate her prominence by the credits placement, and if she is prominent enough to be consider in the main cast or not. Geraldo Perez (talk) 23:54, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

I see the page is once again under protection, only this time for a month. Once the protection is lifted, I will resume edit warring again. Goodbye for now. 67.82.112.107 (talk) 23:46, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Then it'll just be put under protection again, and you'll likely be blocked from editing. — Czello 07:25, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

And that's exactly what's just happened. — Czello 10:39, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

The opening credits, song lyrics, title card, website, and article written commenting on the above collectively those are indications that she is a main. What I don't see from the IP is any other evidence that shows all the other characters except Vicky are mains. Same with Sparky, Poof, Chloe. Chloe has news articles as being considered a main for season 10. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 14:32, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

Another option to remove the protagonist problem is to redo the groupings entirely to: Turner and fairy family, neighbors, schoolmates and staff, fairies, etc. and do away with villains / protagonists / antagonists. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 14:32, 23 May 2022 (UTC) updated 15:57, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

Futon Critic: http://www.thefutoncritic.com/showatch/fairly-oddparents/listings/ Mr. Crocker, Cosmo, Vicky, Sparky, Wanda, Timmy Turner as principal characters, but also they tend to list by main voice actors. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 15:57, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

Regarding the opening, it's not like Big City Greens where a character gets a featured still and their character name listed. But it's not The Simpsons either where the character is only there for that super quick panning of the hundreds of characters. They also make it a gimmick where she appears in the final animation of the opening and her head is changed to something or someone random different for each episode (much like the Simpsons couch / chalkboard). .

Will someone get an admin to put a stop to User:188.224.137.88 and his repeated reversions of this article? He is guilty of violating 3RR. Thanks!

No character overviews

Per the MOS, the table for characters by season is not necessary. This isn't a show where the actors have certain star or recurring billing. This is a cartoon show. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 05:48, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
