No, the origin section is still needed. However, the page needs to be rewritten under the examples on [[Shark]] and [[Maleficent's Raven]]. So, the opening line of the origin section would be something like: "Simba's child, known as '''Kiara''' [http://movies.disney.com/the-lion-king-2-simbas-pride ref], originates from the ''{{w|The Lion King}}'' and its sequel ''{{w|The Lion King II}}''." {{User:Xion4ever/Sig}} 19:49, 13 July 2014 (UTC) | |||
Except, saying the child is known as Kiara is the same as accepting the "assumption" of having the article named Kiara. The same is true if we keep the origin, it's accepting that the child is Kiara, which we're supposedly rejecting on the basis that there's no proof in the games that it's actually Kiara. I don't think it's necessary to move it. After all, ''Kingdom Hearts'' builds on the Disney universe, it doesn't recreate it. There's nothing wrong with leaving it as Kiara because it's a safely-accepted fact. It might get more confusing and weird to deny that it's Kiara, even if there's nothing in the actual games that says it is. {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}} 23:31, 13 July 2014 (UTC) | |||

The kana, as far as I can tell, are fake.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 13:25, 5 July 2018 (UTC) | |||
Wouldn't "Unnamed Lion Cub" be a better fit? I mean, we don't ''technically'' know that she or he is Simba's real child. I'm half-joking, by the way.{{User:Raitomidnight555/Sig}} 19:52, 5 July 2018 (UTC) | |||
:I agree with with merging into the Pride Lands page, as this is how we usually deal with characters who only made cameo appearances and/or mentioned in the franchise, but have no plot relevance to the games itself.--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 20:40, 5 July 2018 (UTC) | |||
::I agree with NinjaSheik. The appearance is very minor, so it doesn't really deserve its own page. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 21:44, 5 July 2018 (UTC) | |||
:::Bump. Everyone is in agreement, then?--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 19:38, 8 July 2018 (UTC) | |||
::::I think so. I'm curious what the reasoning was for making this page in the first page. {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}} 04:28, 9 July 2018 (UTC) | |||
:::::I made it as a redirect, I think based on the file name? I'm not certain.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 12:14, 9 July 2018 (UTC) | |||
::::::[[Talk:List of minor characters#Discussion|In a discussion about a page for minor characters]], it was decided that they each get their own page if they actually appeared, and not just mentioned. Around that time the article got expanded, so that's probably the reason. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 17:53, 9 July 2018 (UTC) | |||
:::::::Ah, I see. We really need to update our MoS about which characters get their own separate articles. I know a few wikis who only make separate articles for the characters as long as they have a substantial/significant involvement in the series, so characters who have made only made cameo appearances or have been mentioned don't need their own articles. Kiara is only shown in the credits, so unless she appears in KHIII or any future related media like the manga or KHX, then it's pretty pointless for her to have her own article.--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 21:42, 9 July 2018 (UTC) | |||
So I'm down to remove this article. It's not very informative or helpful in the series and ought to just be merged into the story of Pride Lands. It's not wrong to believe it's Kiara, but the separate article is just unnecessary (Alternatively, we could just mention her as the child of Simba and Nala in one sentence). However, I also think this goes into us doing the same for the other articles in this page that now have entire articles that are largely unhelpful and unnecessary. {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}} 06:33, 10 July 2018 (UTC) | |||
:::::::::I think it's acceptable to have a non-canon name solely as a redirect, but beefing it up into an article, and ''especially'' adding in the kana makes it seem like we're claiming the series shows more than it actually does. I'm not sure what "official" name we would do, though.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 14:57, 10 July 2018 (UTC) | |||
