Since the mods are very confident with the SEO titles working I think it's pointless to continue that line of discussion.

I don't like the SEO titles breaking the "Real Name (Universe)" naming system, but as long as it helps...

And to be honest, I think "Codename: Name (Universe)" looks worse and is less search-intuitive and more needlessly complicated.

I'm in favor of using the SEO titles with the PE versions.

I think a good rule is to use the original, full names unless the character is better known by their second name or nickname. So, it should be Barry Allen (Flash) instead of Bartholomew Allen (Flash) because, well, do you think someone that needs to look up Barry Allen will know -or google- his full name?

Clark Kent/Kal-El is trickier. I'm sure Superman is best known as Clark Kent, but Kal-El isn't an unknown name, either.

The main Leaguers (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash -both Barry and Wally-, Green Lantern -Hal and John and maaaaybe Jessica-, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Cyborg, Black Canary, Green Arrow, Hawkman, Atom, Zatanna...), sidekicks/partners (Dick Grayson, Barbara Gordon, Kara Zor-El, maaaaaybe Kon-El...), Titans (Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy), villains like Lex Luthor or Joker, and some characters like Constantine or Swamp thing should have SEO names.

I think Supergirl should have a SEO name. Although I wouldn't call her an A-Lister, I think she has gained notoriety since her NE page was created back in 2004. Not only she has gotten a monthly for most of those fifteen years but also she has turned up in a live-action series, starred in another, showed up in several animated films, cartoons (one of which will premiere this year) and video games, and it is rumored she will have another live action film.

I think her -hypothetical- SEO name should be "Supergirl (Kara Zor-El)" because: her real name is her only consistent name, and "Kara Danvers" isn't widely known yet; and the non-Karas Supergirl are pretty obscure.

I don't think Power Girl needs a SEO name because she has fallen off the radar, sadly.
