New Godzilla x Kong: The Hunted graphic novel by Brian Buccellato is being released on March 24 and should be added to list of comics in the Other Media section.
The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: moved. Much of the discussion centered on the question of which style was the
WP:COMMONNAME, and on that specific question, I don't see a consensus as having emerged. However, it was also noted that
MOS:TM prefers the lowercase form as long as that form is in widespread use. The disputed nature of the COMMONNAME question demonstrates that both styles are widespread, which leaves MOS:TM as the deciding factor. (

Support Whether the "V" is capitalized or not has negligible effect on recognizability. A COMMONNAME argument is moot. Per my previous comments, this indeed appears to be the official name, per

Change the Godzilla: King of the Monsters section, which lists Sargon, which is not an actual character in the film, it was (from what I can gather) a misreading of a name from someone that visited the set, and then was passed along as truth. It also fails to mention the off screen introductions of Kraken (later identified as Na Kika in the comic Godzilla Dominion, with a separate Kraken being introduced in the Netflix Skull Island cartoon, so this should probably be identified as Na Kika despite being called Kraken in the film), Sekhmet, Yamata no Orochi, Quetzalcoatl, and Amhuluk.
Change the Kong: Skull Island section, which lists the Psychovulture, which does not appear in the film, and was introduced in the tie-in comic Skull Island: The Birth of Kong.
Change the Godzilla vs. Kong section, which fails to mention the introduction of the Rockclaw.
Change the Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire section, which fails to mention the introductions of the Great Ape, the Wart Dog, the Vertacine, the Parrot Frog, the Drownviper, the Tree Mimic, and the on screen debut of Tiamat.

YouTube videos are generally not reliable, especially if its just to the film in question. Though
plot sumamaries don't typically need sourcing. But given that the movie is being used to support a negative, this feels like a gray area. As for the second item, is that from a book? A website? A picture alone won't do, we need a more complete citation.
CaptainEekEdits Ho Cap'n!⚓00:11, 20 July 2024 (UTC)reply
Just using it to show that the existing characters I added shouldn’t be removed as well as they are named onscreen multiple times across several films, not sure how to cite that if needed as adding pics is difficult. As for Sargon that is a definite grey area until I can get a public statement rather then a private one, which I’ll work on.
Just said what it was from, the Monsterverse Omnibus comic collection. Give me a second to link it, apparently kickstarter and Amazon links can’t be used.

Before editing further, you should follow Wiki guidelines -- like
WP:FAN,
WP:QUO,
WP:DE,
WP:RS, and
WP:3RR -- to avoid issues. It seems you're unfamiliar with the proper conduct and procedure on Wiki, so leniency towards you is warranted.
Even if the characters do exist, we need a verified source that confirms them; Per
WP:UNSOURCED: "All content must be verifiable". It can't just be any source, they have to be reliable. So it can't be from YouTube or Discord, per
WP:UGC. Anyone online can create a profile and claim to be Greg Keyes.
As for the NewsWeek source -- yes,
WP:RSPSS does iterate that it's generally considered unreliable yet not forbidden to use since it carries the No-Consensus tag, per
WP:MREL. It seems to be a case-by-case situation. Regardless, I found 3 other verified sources that not only support Sargon's existence but other Titans that Lindenhs wanted to add, so we can simply use these sources instead:
[6],
[7],
[8].

Just because they don't appear on those shots, doesn't mean Sargon doesn't exist. The names came from journalists that were invited on-set and reported the monster names they saw. Again, three additional outlets reported Sargon's existence. If you can provide a reliable source that disputes Sargon's existence, not a DM or comment thread that can easily be faked, then it would be easily removed.
Also, you have to follow

The issue so far is that you've been disruptive -- acting out. If you're an "admin" then you should be aware of the importance of following rules and guidelines. So far you have ignored all the guidelines shared with you and ignored all the warnings posted on your talk page. You may be an admin elsewhere but you are not above the rules here. Proceeding with your current disruptive behavior will not end well for you. So follow
WP:QUO -- though I recommend reading all the ones shared with you -- and stop restoring your unsourced edits.
Again, if there are verifiable/reliable sources confirming your claims then they would be accepted. Again, from verifiable/reliable sources per
WP:BURDEN and
WP:RS. Again, anyone can claim to be Keyes online. Not that hard making a sock account on social media. Asking us to take your word for it is not acceptable.
All you've been asking is to have your edits accepted without citing verifiable/reliable sources or us having to do the research for you. Again per WP:BURDEN, the burden is completely on you to back up your edits.

WP:UGC states that citing social medias and forums are unacceptable. Why is that difficult for you to grasp?
Below it,
WP:SELFSOURCE doubles down by stating that "Self-published or questionable sources may be used as sources of information about themselves". So if we were editing an article about Greg Keyes's life then citing posts from his verified socials may be acceptable.
But we're not. We're editing an article about the Monsterverse. It's also pointless to cite the filmmakers's socials because secondary (and reliable) sources do exist confirming the off-screen Titans. Those are the sources we're suppose to be citing.

For what its worth, I do think that the mention of Sargon seems to have been derived from a joke about the rather distasteful
Sargon of Akkad of internet infamy, rather than the actual source material. While we say what secondary sources say, we don't have to parrot them if we have clear evidence that they're wrong. Now, I still don't see where the other monsters are coming from, so without a source I wouldn't add new ones to the list. But I don't see an issue with removing Sargon.

The others are coming directly from the films, novels, and comics, as well as other extended material.
i can try getting scans or transcripts, or you can get the books online or on as an audiobook. The comics are also available. Or I can get film timestamps?
Like this is all readily available online or as a physical copy.
Abaddon for example is rumored to be making his first full appearance in the new Monsterverse Declassified comic, and is in the cover though not detailed.
Im legitimately trying to figure out how the actual movie that is in question here isn’t itself a source… all these names are directly onscreen and visible in all three recent films from KOTM to GXK.

You know what? This is gonna be embarrassing for me but I’m gonna walk back on my original argument. I decided to list and count the monsters from those screenshots for the hell of it and found that outside of Godzilla, I count 17 monsters. And they do say “17 and counting after Gojira”. My dumbass always assumed the list was incomplete. So I no longer have issue with removing Sargon, but perhaps a footnote could be provided that secondary sources named such a character but doesn’t appear in any way on film or in spin-off media.
Armegon (

Sargon was either a bad joke thrown in or a typo like Abandon (Abaddon) and Typhoon (Typhon), considering they have multiple typos (and get multiple locations wrong) I think it isn’t worth leaving in Sargon, who is probably just a typo of Scylla or Sekhmet as those are the only ones who have “S” names.
Though the fact they say it’s in Mexico kind of kills that typo theory and supports that it’s a reference to Carl Benjamin.

Sargon was either a bad joke thrown in or a typo like Abandon (Abaddon) and Typhoon (Typhon), considering they have multiple typos (and get multiple locations wrong) I think it isn’t worth leaving in Sargon, who is probably just a typo of Scylla or Sekhmet as those are the only ones who have “S” names.
Though the fact they say it’s in Mexico kind of kills that typo theory and supports that it’s a reference to Carl Benjamin.
