  • Comment: This article was created from a redirect.
  • Comment: Mikoto is also the protagonist of A Certain Scientific Railgun, but I decided to focus on A Certain Magical Index instead since that was her first appearance.

  • Gonna claim this for review. I just remembered that her birthday is coming up on May 2, so do you think a special occasion run on that date would work? If it doesn't work out, we could always go for a regular run. Of all the hook proposals, the Bilibili one is probably the best and would likely interest even non-anime fans.

As for the review, the article was converted from a redirect on the 15th and nominated on the 16th, so that's good. The article is also long enough, and I wasn't able to find close paraphrasing. As mentioned earlier, ALT0 is my preferred hook, but if a promoter wants to promote ALT2 they are free to do so as well. ALT0 is cited to Nikkei Asia and the fact is verified; although she is not mentioned by name in the article, as a viewer of the series I can attest to the reliability of the statement "Railgun's main character". I'm fine with ALT2's sourcing since the survey was done by Index's publisher. No QPQ needed for first-time nominator. The only issues in the article are mostly minor formatting ones, such as the unnecessary capitalization of "Appearances". I'd also suggest that sources like Anime News Network be italicized when mentioned inline. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 04:52, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the review. I fixed the capitalization of "appearances", though when it comes to italicizing Anime News Network, it is not italicized on its Wikipedia page, so I'm not sure if I should either. If its Wikipedia page is incorrect, I will correct the article. I prefer ALT 0 as well and would also like to request this be featured on May 2, since it is her birthday.
