Talk:Kairi (Kingdom Hearts)
Relationships
The relationships section in the info box on this page refers to Sora as both friend and love interest. While many Kingdom Hearts fans believe Sora/Kairi to be the intended endgame ship for the franchise, this has yet to be canonically confirmed. As such, not all fans believe Sora to be Kairi's love interest. While there are scenes that imply of romantic feelings between the two in the games, those feelings have not been explicitly and definitively addressed, nor has their status as each other's presumed love interest been acknowledged by Word of God. In the interests of maintaining the Plural Point of View policy, would it be acceptable to either remove the love interest part or else add a caveat to note that this relationship type has yet to be definitely confirmed? Or should it be left as is unless canon or the development team ever says anything to contradict it? TheVioletHowler (talk) 17:09, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
- I concur with this proposed course of action. 🤙 Rock on, buddy. — PCCB (talk) 21:07, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
- Since PCCB hasn't specificed which of your various proposals you should go with, let me chip in with my own two cents. I gather the pairing is not canon, but is very common and often treated as fanon? Then it probably shouldn't be left as it is, since that could be misunderstood. Perhaps change to "(canon friend/fanon love interest)"? --Greer Watson (talk) 22:49, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
- It looks like PCCB went and edited this page to remove the "/love interest)" part so that it just says "(friend)". I can add the suggestion of "(canon friend/fanon love interest)" if you still think that would be better. TheVioletHowler (talk) 23:49, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
- That's okay. It's not my fandom; so I have no irons in the fire. --Greer Watson (talk) 02:17, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

Page name
I believe that this Kairi is currently the most famous mononymous Kairi. But Kairi isn't a name entirely unique to Kingdom Hearts even now, and there might come a day when this name is more popularly associated with a more famous celebrity or character.
Two options:
A) I move this page to Kairi (Kingdom Hearts).
B) I leave this page as Kairi and put a notice leading to Kairi (disambiguation) at the top.

Merging Sections
I think that the "as a female character in meta analysis and fanon" section has a lot of potential for overlap with the overall Fandom section and could probably be merged, instead of having two entirely separate sections? Because it makes more sense to me to have discussion of how her being a girl factors into fannish activity and discussion be a subsection of fandom trends and ideas in general, rather than have one whole section for each. Would anyone be opposed to something that? TheVioletHowler (talk) 03:26, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
