Ramesses II[]
Pharoah Ramesses II (aka Ramses II) is listed on this page, but with no footnotes. Has he actually appeared in a DC comic? I know he has been mentioned in several comics, as he is Black Adam's father. But has he ever appeared anywhere? Shadzane 💀 (talk) 19:41, June 10, 2019 (UTC)
- In the Legends of Tomorrow, he was the father of Khufu. He was portrayed by Michael Tiernan. - Nalka123 (talk) 17:02, June 28, 2019 (UTC)

Couple Questions[]
How useful is this page? Right now, it's just a list of names, some with sources and some without. Is it actually doing anything other than collecting names of real and/or historical people who have appeared. Is there a better way to utilize this information? Second, should all of these be linking to Wikipedia? At least there more information than we have on the real life person would be available. Kyletheobald (talk) 03:11, September 15, 2020 (UTC)
- Yeah, can't say I'm particularly a fan of this page in general. Seems like a more redundant version of the category. I guess the only practical use I can imagine is it acting as an Appearances page equivalent for all the Real People we link to Wikipedia that don't get categorized within our system. But updating this every time George Washington appears on a textbook cover or something seems like a massive new step to integrate into our already encumbering regular process. --- Haroldrocks talk 04:05, September 15, 2020 (UTC)
- I don't know that I like that idea either. I feel like this is one of those pages where the original intent no longer really makes sense. Kyletheobald (talk) 14:08, September 15, 2020 (UTC)
- "I guess the only practical use I can imagine is it acting as an Appearances page equivalent for all the Real People we link to Wikipedia that don't get categorized within our system."
- Yes, I think that why it exists, is for all the Real People who don't have pages.
- But updating this every time George Washington appears on a textbook cover or something seems like a massive new step to integrate into our already encumbering regular process."
- We don't do that. George Washington has his own page, so we just link to it. -- SuperFan24K (talk) 14:25, September 15, 2020 (UTC)
- "Right now, it's just a list of names, some with sources and some without."
- Everyone on this page should be sourced. If someone isn't, please let me know (since I do most of the updates here).
- "Second, should all of these be linking to Wikipedia?"
- They already do in a roundabout way -- if you follow the links to the books they appear in, all those books have a Wikipedia link. That said, I think it would be great to have the Wikipedia links right here too. If a few more people think it's a good idea, I'll do it! -- SuperFan24K (talk) 14:18, September 15, 2020 (UTC)
- Coming back to this, I think they should at least be linking to Wikipedia. I'm still not sold on this being a page but that would help me find a reason to keep it. Also, should creator appearances be folded into this list as well? Kyletheobald (talk) 17:38, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
- I'll add Wikipedia links soon. As for creator appearances, some are on the list already, but I'm sure many more are not. I am undecided on if they should be there... -- SuperFan24K (talk) 20:36, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
- Well, they're real people right? Kind of hard to argue they shouldn't be listed here, I think. Kyletheobald (talk) 20:50, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
