The Flashpoint characters didn't get pages, even though their histories were as different as the alternate Earths. Nora Allen was still alive, Wally became the Flash instead of Barry, and Cisco owned S.T.A.R. Labs with the brand Ramon Industries. And after Barry and Eobard undid Flashpoint, a later episode stated Flashpoint still existed on another Earth, which allowed Cisco to vibe something crucial to the episode. Even the DC Database has pages on Flashpoint like Caitlin Snow, Wally West, Joe West, Nora Allen, and Iris West. And they have pages on Doomworld pages like Sara Lance and Ray Palmer. Clearly they handle our characters differently than we do, so why should we copy them? And besides, their split to Prime Earth wasn't immediate. The characters had their post-Flashpoint histories tacked on to their New Earth pages for a year before the admins finally decided to make new pages, and it was a very difficult process for them. The DC Database can split our characters into Arrow: Earth-Prime if they want, because at least they won't have our problem of conjectural titles, because they'd assume everyone has the same name from the comics unless otherwise stated. The Stargirl from Legends of Tomorrow played by Sarah Grey is just called Courtney here because that's all we know her as, but the DC Database has her page as Courtney Whitmore (Arrow), even though her last name was never confirmed as Whitmore because there's nothing saying it isn't and they like to keep names consistent. The split here with the rule of not assuming doppelganger names can give us a lot more trouble. Especially with Superman (Earth-96 (Prime)). He was never called Superman in his brief appearance, he was unnamed. So we would have to figure out how to rename that page. And he probably won't appear again, so an obvious Superman would have to be stuck unnamed if we split post-crisis from pre-crisis. And since the changes on Earth-Prime are minimal compared the realities that the DC Database split but we kept on Earth-1, in fact they may be more like post-Flashpoint which even the DC Database kept under their "Arrow" articles. And besides, the comics are more inconsistent than the shows and some writers flip-flopped back and forth around whether Prime Earth is still New Earth or not. Trying to keep track of continuity for over nearly a century would be more of a mess than nearly a decade of continuity. So however the DC Database decides split articles, our way shouldn't be related.
