We seem to be discussing at least two different things at the same time. One is about which real names can and cannot be used in an info‐box, and the other is about whether different versions of the same character are distinct enough to warrant separate articles. If you feel that character names must not be in the info‐box if they were bestowed on the character by an author other than the one listed as the original creator, I’ll go along with that. But you have also located examples of different versions of the same character having separate articles (like Dracula and Orlok, Prince Charming and Florimond) as well as examples of different versions lumped together in the same article (like Santa Claus, the Snow Maiden), so my impression is that both are fine: They can have separate articles or share an article, depending on the editors’ time, motivation and inclination. Are you saying however that creating separate articles is now obligatory? If not, then I’m still not sure what point you feel I’m missing. (00:50)

The original play was written by Richard Ganthony alone, whereas the movie’s screenplay is credited to both Ganthony and director J. Wallett Waller. I do not know which one came up with the name Ramiel, so I assume they should share credit for it. (01:04)

Oh, the Fawcett Unholy 3 are clearly based on the Unholy Three from Tod Robbins’ 1917 novel. ☺ (02:02)

Well, you praised my Snow Maiden edits in private correspondence. You can’t take that away from me. 😉 (02:45)

Yes, Deer. 😜 (04:36)
