Fair use rationale for Image:Arbutus.JPG

Image:Arbutus.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Rename and merge proposal

I come with this proposal to rename this page to "List of Disney's Aladdin characters" so that it can contain characters not only related to the TV series but also to the whole franchise. I also suggest this name to ensure not only minor characters are listed here, but also secondary or even main characters that do not meet Notability.

For that purpose, I propose to merge the following articles into this list:

This is due to the fact that all of these characters have not managed to prove Notability outside the Aladdin franchise. This means that none of the have recieved deep coverage by reliable secondary sources, discussing the characters individually and not only mentions within a review of the films or series. Also, these characters have no impact in popular culture, which also proves notability. Thoughts? --LoЯd ۞pεth 19:40, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A week has passed and no opposition came against the renaming and the mergers, so both are being performed. --LoЯd ۞pεth 06:02, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just one objection. You might let the creators of the articles know on their talk pages or otherwise that you are deleting their articles and state reasons why. I didn't join Wikipedia to have all my articles deleted without notice. /\\//\|_()|\| (talk) 22:55, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

I come with this new proposal to include Jafar, Genie (Aladdin), Iago (Aladdin) and Magic Carpet (Aladdin) into this list mainly because those characters, though clearly important within the Aladdin franchise, have not managed to prove Notability outside Aladdin and other Disney media (House of Mouse, Kingdom Hearts, etc.) This means that none of these characters has recieved deep coverage by a vast amount of reliable secondary sources, discussing the character individually and separatedly from the series (a couple of lines taken from a review on the film are not Notability). Also, these characters have not managed to have impact in popular culture. Thoughts? --LoЯd ۞pεth 00:07, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Since there was no opposition and improvement of the articles by adding real world sections establishing notability, the mergers are being performed. --LoЯd ۞pεth 04:35, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to put iago back into an individual article. There are sources discussing in his own right as a character(often saying he is annoying etc) and he is also frequently talked about in things dealing with his very distinctive voice artist Gilbert.RafikiSykes (talk) 20:02, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List-

Michaelangelo Van Gho De vinci —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.190.154.225 (talk) 00:12, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I beleive that Iago should be put back as a section to this article and Genie begiven his own article. More people recognize Genie than they do Iago.Tailikku (talk) 20:40, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Names of Kingdoms

Although the cartoon series claims Aladdin lives in a World of Seven Kingdoms-only the following are named:

Kingdom of Agrabah.
Kingdom of Land of the Black Sands
Kingdom of land of Getzistan
Kingdom of the Odiferous
Kingdom of the Galifems
Kingdom of land of Mesmaria

The Genie's Jewish?

Eric Goldberg said in a 2004 DVD extra that he drew the Genie as Jewish to show that Jews and Arabs can get along. I think that's pretty sweet! Does anybody have a copy of the DVD to properly cite? I'd like to add it to the character section, but having the proper source is necessary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.255.75.119 (talk) 17:20, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rajah the Tiger

Jasmine's pet tiger looks like a tiger but acts much like a dog -- as the description shows. Dogs would do what Rajah does -- but real tigers wouldn't be so gentle, empathic, and trustworthy.Pbrower2a (talk) 04:43, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Arabic rendering of names

Many of the characters' names are also rendered in the Arabic script. Does this have a basis in reliable published sources about the characters in the Aladdin franchise universe, or is this original research? --Lambiam 21:01, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Move discussion in progress

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Genie (Disney) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 18:33, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mozenrath

Please, can you find more information about the original plot of film 3, where Mozenrath would be the main antagonist and Aladdin's older brother? Thank you! --82.56.171.232 06:43, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No. Don't do plot. If you want that, go to Wikia. Drmies (talk) 03:07, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. --95.233.3.50 16:48, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

New section for the remake?

I'm wondering if there should be a section of this page for new characters introduced in the 2019 live action film. I know there aren't a lot of new characters, but I still think they're worth mentioning. Let me know your thoughts. Zuko Halliwell (talk) 17:10, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
