Talk:Jiraiya (Naruto)/Archive 3
Plot Overview[edit]
The plot overview section is kinda disproportionate. Jiraiya did more than just fight Pain. -unsigned
Sage or Hermit?[edit]
I'm curious. Last I checked 仙人 translated into Hermit, not Sage. So...yeah..correct? Wrong? Simply not used? What? EDIT: Heck, Sennin translates to Hermit so that just compounds it...--TheUltimate3 (talk) 02:02, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
- Ah. Thank you kindly.--17:06, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
Second name[edit]
Does Jiraiya have a second name? NarSakSasLee (talk) 13:42, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
- Nope. For some reason several characters from the series have only one name.Tintor2 (talk) 14:14, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
Does that include manga? NarSakSasLee (talk) 20:23, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
Image?[edit]
What happened to the character image in the infobox? かんぱい! Scapler (talk) 09:23, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
- I suppose that a user removed it, and we forgot to revert it, so it was deleted.Tintor2 (talk) 13:10, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
Why did you not replace it with a different photo from the show?Misslindsie (talk) 08:12, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
Name Meaning[edit]
The original 'Jiraiya' (児雷也)means something like 'young thunder,' but this is not the case for the Jiraiya of Naruto. 自来也 is pronounced 'Jiraiya' but has a different meaning. The mention of 'Young Thunder' should be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.122.145.28 (talk) 23:47, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

I'll review this nomination. Initial comments should be posted soon. --1ST7 (talk) 01:20, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
Here's the review:
- Well-written
- The biggest issue with the way the article is written is that it doesn't really comply with Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Writing about fiction. The discussion of the character should be told from a nonfictional perspective, but this article is written mostly in an in-universe form. It needs more secondary information, such as a section detailing the creation and conception of the character and perhaps more about its real-world influence.
- This phrase is somewhat confusing: "Orochimaru when betrayed Konha, Jiraiya pursued him and tried to convince him to return."
- The wording for this is a little awkward: "Several reviewers for manga, anime, video games, and other related media have provided praise on Jiraiya's character." I would suggest rewording it to something like this: "Several manga, anime, and video game reviewers have praised the character of Jiraiya."
- In the reception section, it's better not to use the word "note" or any of its variants to describe something a person said, as it is on the Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch list.
- Verifiable with no original research:
- Pretty much everything is cited, but the article relies on references to primary sources.
- Broad in its coverage:
- See the first point under "well-written".
- Neutral:
- Stable:
- Illustrated, if possible, by images:
I'll put the article on hold for a week to give you time to address these issues. Thanks for your work on this! --1ST7 (talk) 05:01, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
