@Jonny Manz There would be enough content. Remember she's a villain in a two-part episode who only appears in two episodes like Queen Chrysalis and King Sombra. And I've said it in the discussion forum already. But... if anypony's going to make the page it can't be me, because I can't write in "out-of-universe" no matter how hard I try. (if only somepony else had founded this wiki, no offense to Throwy)

@Genesjs Despite the way she is depicted in the comics it apparently wasn't enough for a split. And when I was willing to go by comics as canon I wrote a fanfic called [|My Little Pony Villain Competition], and whenever the comics are referenced nopony who read the fanfic (it received quite a few reviews) nopony knew what they were about. There are people who think Nightmare Rarity was fan stuff, and say that Chrysalis hasn't returned. I didn't say that's proof that they're non-canon, the choice is ours on what to think on that matter, I just chose "non-canon" for the reasons I said even though I still like them

As to what would happen if the show did anything to confirm the comics were canon (ie: Piccolo referencing Garlic Jr. during the Buu Saga confirming the canonocity of the Garlic Jr. Saga), then I'd say they were, with much disappointment over the Chrysalis thing (and endlessly trying to get them to bring her back), not to mention confusion over the whole Nightmare Moon thing. But I don't think they will, since there's very little communication between the comics' writers and the shows' writers, I doubt Hasbro or the writers of the show even read them.

As to the writers being different: Hasbro wasn't even involved in the comics, they only licensed them. They're like fanfiction that can be official material. And it's got quite a different style from the show as well. Again, that's not to say it's definitely non-canon, others can view them as canon if they wish, if they know the comics exist.
