Information about Characters

There's a mistake. Under Mila. It says she's a rink mate of Yuri K. She's actually rinkmate of Yuri P Bunnybuns (talk) 21:33, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, i'm italian, and i wanted to tell you that english subs are incorrect. The nickname of Michele Crispino is in fact wrote 'Michi' not 'Mickey' because it is an italian nickname, not an american one. Another mistake is his sister's name. it is Sara, with the r, not with the l, because, again, it is an italian name. Sala does not exist as an italian name and i'm 100% sure they meant Sara, but the subbers miswrote it. Benedettamalcontenta (talk) 14:37, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

could you please modify those 2 names? (i also reached out with crunchyroll america to see if they can spell the names right from now on)

Not done These are the official English translations of the names and are verifiable through reliable sources. —Farix (t | c) 12:02, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Put it under Category:Japanese LGBT-related television programs

I think it's appropriate to put Yuri on Ice under this category since the two main characters Yuri and Victor became a couple and are engaged as of episode 10. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.20.152.255 (talk) 00:19, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not done false information, they're not engaged.--Sakretsu (talk) 11:48, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Then explain the gold rings? Anonymous 9:04, December 9, 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.101.185.2 (talk)

There is nothing to explain since we're not supposed to assume things as per WP:NOR.--Sakretsu (talk) 18:52, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Characters being engaged or not is irrelevant - it is described by RSs as having LGBT themes, ([1][2][3][4]) making it LGBT-related.--IDV^talk 19:39, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Engaged or not, some of the characters are LGBT. --Killuminator (talk) 04:15, 10 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Who? Everything is nothing but teasing fans. They haven't showed anything.Correctron (talk) 06:52, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note that the category is "Japanese LGBT-related television programs", not "Japanese television programs featuring LGBT characters".--IDV^talk 07:03, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The category description says This category includes television series, made-for-television films, news, entertainment, specials and other programming which deal with or feature significant lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender characters or issues and may have same-sex romance or relationships as an important plot device. I don't think teasing fans could be described as featuring significant LGBT characters or issues.--Sakretsu (talk) 13:09, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

At this point, there is no critical reception section written, so there's no indication whether or not the show has significant LGBT themes. The articles you brought up do have reviewers that have commented on possible connections, but it is still to be determined whether it has enough weight to be a defining category (see WP:CATDEF). Also, if most reviewers are making connections to it, and/or if the director or author has clearly indicated it is the case, that would help.

Viewing statistics/popularity

Rocket News 24 said that Yuri on Ice is "this season's biggest sports anime hit." http://en.rocketnews24.com/2016/12/13/life-imitates-anime-art-as-evgenia-medvedeva-gets-a-yuri-on-ice-present-from-fan

However, there are no viewing statistics in the article. Elsewhere, I saw http://www.videor.co.jp/data/ratedata/top10.htm#comic listed as the place to get viewership info for anime in Japan. Is that correct? Cloveapple (talk) 09:08, 14 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
