First of all, it would not be a story page. The characters are from the Disney film, not the story, so it would be a film page. Then, we only do it when we have enough elements from the Disney film into the show/universe. In this case, that's just 2 characters :/

However, they would have their place on the Disney references list. We've made story/film pages for less than two characters before. I thought it just has to clearly be refering to the story, which it clearly is. As far as the name, a dog named Copper is in both the book and movie, and Amos goes unnamed in the book (he's only called The Master), so it is a reference to both the book and movie in the same way Cruella and Pongo referenced both the book and movie. Not the same thing. Cruella and Pongo are clearly named after two characters of the book. And Wendy said it herself to me: she based the characters on the Disney film, not the novel. Yeah, that wasn't the best example, someone like Ariel on the other hand, is very much based on the Disney version, yet we still consider her the book version little mermaid as well.
