[Facts] Re: Criteria for Submitted Pop Culture Names?
in reply to a message by ShioTanbo1
I see Spongebob in the submitted database, and Nintendo's Mario is mentioned in the main database (at the name Mario).
There is no hard and fast rule about how notable a name has to be. If it's in "popular" culture it should be somewhat notable. A general rule of thumb we've used for the namesakes, is that if the figure in question has a Wikipedia page, then they are notable.

Thanks. That makes more sense. I was confused about the name Plankton getting deleted, but then I learned that Plankton is actually the surname of the character. How did I forget that his first name was Sheldon?
As for the other names, I'll know for next time!
