Ok,this topic has been delayed too much due to other issues that have been arising but let's continue with it.

The points to discussion so far are:


 * Hierarchy of the sources to take the names from.
 * What to do when there is no official name at all.
 * A minor characters category.

The first point is actually clarified in the current Naming Policy. The highest source is Kodansha USA, the second Crunchyroll, the third FUNimation, and the fourth the scanlations. The rest is basically what EternalLocket says: we use the highest source available, and the name of the page is changed if a higher source becomes available later. But I like more the wording he suggested.

About what to do when there is no official name at all, I agree that we should be able to create pages despite that, because the content can still be useful and interesting; but we must try to use a name as accurate as possible. I mean, a page called Goggles it's just good, since that's a recognizable feature of the character and probably the best we have about it; but "Not Annie/Kenny's subordinate" is silly, the page could be created but not with that name. And the Unofficial Name template must be used in all cases.

A category of minor characters is a good suggestion. We have that same category in The Mentalist Wiki and is described as "characters who play minor roles (unnamed people or other roles of little relevance)". That definition may be applied here too.
