Thank you to everyone who has nominated so far! I have a few questions listed below. Please take a look if you have nominated: Doctor Who (2005), Miraculous Ladybug, Harry Potter - J.K. Rowling, Power Rangers (2017), Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Voltron: Legendary Defender

 

If nominations are the same when the nomination closes, I will either reject or guess the best course of action. Please remember these decisions are only meant as an attempt to maintain consistency for the purpose of this exchange, not to define the single correct way to define or interpret a character.

 

Fandom: Doctor Who (2005)

Character(s): Harriet Jones

The character I found was a white woman. Is there another character this nomination is referring to?

Fandom: Miraculous Ladybug

Character(s): Nino Lahiffe

The character I found was a Moroccan teen. Is there any additional context you can give me on the character having Black ancestry?

Fandom: Harry Potter — J.K. Rowling

Character(s): Group: Hermione Granger/Pansy Parkinson

Neither of these characters are confirmed to be Black within the book series. Would you like to nominate another pairing, or under a different medium?

Fandom: Power Rangers

Character(s): Trini (Power Rangers), Group: Kimberly Hart/Trini (Power Rangers)

The character I found, Trini, is played by a Mexican actress. Is there any additional context you can give me on the character having Black ancestry?

Fandom: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

Character(s): Group: Joseph Sisko

Is this meant to be an individual nomination, or should additional characters be added?

Fandom: Tortall - Tamora Pierce

Character(s): Veralidaine Sarrasri

I could not find evidence that this character or her parents are depicted as Black within the book series. Can you provide textual support for this nomination?

Fandom: Voltron: Legendary Defender

Character(s): Haggar (Voltron), Honerva (VLD)

 

Can I merge these two nominations? If yes, would “Haggar,” “Honerva,” or “Haggar | Honerva” make the most sense?

Hiya, I nominated some Assassin's Creed characters under "Assassin's Creed (Video Games)" since you asked to avoid All Media Types, but it looks like that lives under Uncategorized Fandoms. For ease of finding, would it be better to change that to "Assassin's Creed - All Media Types"? It's not a question of different adaptations, it's that the main canon of the games has a few tie-in materials, so I don't think there's the sort of ambiguity that is usually the reason for avoiding All Media Types. Thanks!

Sure, I'll tweak that on my end.
