So here is my evaluation of the survey's results. I assigned the following numerical value to responses to measure where the group stands on certain issues:
Definitely Eligible = 2 Eligible = 1 Indifferent = 0 Ineligible = -1 Definitely Ineligible = -2 Here were the scores for each of the nine statements with 40 being the max highest score and -40 being the lowest. 1. Non-humanoids = -12 2. Non-originating characters that only appear in crossovers = 0 3. Non-originating characters that appear in mainstream = 8 4. Retractions = -18 5. Prototypes = -10 6. Unpublished concepts = -24 7. Unlicensed characters = -29 8. Parallel Universe = -12 9. Characters with same given name = -3 As one can see, people are strongly opposed to allowing unpublished or unlicensed characters. People are also opposed to allowing retracted characters, prototypes, and those from parallel universes. Thus, I see no reason to conduct additional surveys or polls on the topics above. People are closely split on the issue of characters from different continuities that share given names, with a slight lean toward opposing their inclusion (-3) People were exactly split (0) on the issue of non-originating characters that only appeared in a crossover series or toy line, though some felt the statement didn't make clear enough distinctions between certain exceptions. This clearly needs to be dealt with further. People were slightly in favor (8) of allowing non-originating characters (e.g. Trakker) who appear in mainstream media, such as the 25th Anniversary toy line. Since this statement is closely related to statement two we should explore this further as well. When I get the time, we'll break statements two and three into clearer divisions to determine which exceptions people feel should be eligible regarding non-originating characters. I've also collected a list of controversial characters (e.g. Bench Press) that many may want to vote on to determine which should be eligible as different characters. |

I...Um... Yeah.
Where do you begin? I would guess this is maybe 40 characters that need to be voted on?

Similar characters should be grouped together so that we just vote on the groups and not each individual.
So all characters like Trakker would fall into one group. Bench Press, Speed Metal, and Air Raid fall into another group, etc. |

Here's a list of possible characters that are similar enough to warrant debates over whether they are different characters or multiple versions of the same character. I broke them into three categories and specified which I personally think should be eligible or not. I also listed the original or preceding characters for reference.
Category C – Same Code Name, Different File Name, Different Continuity Extreme’s Mayday (?) Eligible DDP’s Mayday (P. Adams) |
