This should be a pretty simple thread given how self-evidently useless this note is.
On Boa Hancock's profile, we have a note that explains the following:
Now, I don't believe I have to really explain why John Hancock and Boa Hancock aren't the same names, they just share similar last names. But, both characters, with the exception of their last names, are so distinctly different that noting Boa being different from John is useless. The distinction is self-evident. One is a character from an American movie, played by an American actor, who is male. While Boa is a character from a Japanese anime, voice acted by a Japanese actress, and is female. It's nigh-impossible for you to mix up these characters, even when possessing next to no knowledge about them. Hell, Boa and John are also two distinct names that you can't mix up like that.
In short: The rule is useless because the distinction is already self-evident, and as such, it should go.
