Can someone de-link the characters and start merging them as per WP:FICT? --InShaneee 15:03, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

I've thought about doing that but two characters may warrant their own articles. Hello Kitty definitely for obvious reasons and My Melody has her own anime and several games based around her and her individual article has the potential to grow. The majority of the other characters should be merged into this one but not those two. Sound ok? --Squilibob 13:43, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

I found a reference to the origin of the Sanrio name at Sanrio Europe but I don't know the proper way to insert a reference into the page code, could someone who knows what they are doing do it? Neo Piper (talk) 17:56, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Done. - Jmabel | Talk 02:20, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Darky" doll

I've found several mentions around the web that in the 1990s Sanrio discontinued production of a "darky" doll in the tradition of golliwogs, because Americans found it racist. However, I haven't been able to find anything that rises to the level Wikipedia would usually consider citable. This is currently mentioned (but lacking adequate citation) in our Blackface article. If anyone knows more about this, could you leave a note on the Talk:Blackface page? Thanks. - Jmabel | Talk 02:20, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
