If you read the description of AmbiguousDisorder, it only says they would \"probably\" count and can\'t be determined to actually have any diagnosable disorders. That in itself is good enough reason to have it removed from *both* articles, as it contains essentially an admission that it\'s YMMV. Striving for accuracy and quality is important. In these cases it\'s important to look at precedence and usage: consider a character like BatmanTheCharacter - a person with some strange quirks and lacking social skill, but still - no AmbiguousDisorder. This is a pattern that repeats itself for characters that have an established reason to act like they do.

Arguably, it\'s fitting for none of them because their behavior is sufficiently explained in the story, to the point where injecting an ambiguous, unnamed disorder is not necessary. Evangelion should not be a \"special case\", because we\'ve got far better tropes to describe their behavioral quirks - such as InferioritySuperiorityComplex and many others.

This is the reason I say AmbiguousDisorder is not only inaccurate and wrong, but also redundant. The page describes in detail the type of quirks, which makes \"ambiguous\" obsolete.

Re: The edits: I\'ll check on that.
