:::What about splitting the early life and training into an "Early life of John-117" article? Wikipedia does this with notable people in cases where the main article would be far too long. Here is a [[Wikipedia:Early life of Augustus|good example]] of the practice.--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}} 19:27, 4 February 2019 (EST) | :::What about splitting the early life and training into an "Early life of John-117" article?

:::I would be 100% opposed to doing that, as I am extremely proud of the work I've put into this and think the article deserves to be comprehensive and show off the full range of who the character is and where they have been. Splitting that off would make it less likely that all of that important material would ever be seen | :::I would be 100% opposed to doing that, as I am extremely proud of the work I've put into this and think the article deserves to be comprehensive and show off the full range of who the character is and where they have been. Splitting that off would make it less likely that all of that important material would ever be seen. I don't think we need to expect every single article to be read in one sitting. These should be comeplete resources that someone can go to in order to look up details, all of which are preserved. Obviously I'm not in charge here but were such a thing to happen I know that I'd lose all motivation to continue to update this and other articles.[[User:TheEld|TheEld]] ([[User talk:TheEld|talk]]) 19:32, 4 February 2019 (EST)TheEld | ||
:::I don't believe the comparison to Wikipedia and biographies of real people is applicable because in that case we literally could find out what those people did every minute of every day, so to speak. That isn't the case here. This is a fictional character that we only learn of through what canon resources put out. All of that should be documented.[[User:TheEld|TheEld]] ([[User talk:TheEld|talk]]) 19:35, 4 February 2019 (EST)TheEld | :::I don't believe the comparison to Wikipedia and biographies of real people is applicable because in that case we literally could find out what those people did every minute of every day, so to speak.
