I agree with Marcus. An EJ dictionary wouldn't include a "上に何が..." sense for "what's up?" just to cover usage like "what's up there?" Also, "what it is" isn't so much a separate sense as a different parsing of the words.
The "so what?" meaning is more interesting but I'm not sure it's needed as an entry.

I don't think that first sense belongs here. When it comes to literal and other meanings of expressions that aren't included 
in other dictionaries, I think we probably err on the side of inclusion a little too often. Sometimes we have to trust that 
users will understand that an expression can be a set phrase while also have another meaning if it appears in another 
context, that isn't really worth noting.

I'd be ok with just deleting this too.

From a fork:

jmnedict 5358841

>> And we still do Western name order for people alive during and after Meiji, don't we?

I've been flipping orders as well.

Wait, do we? I've been operating under the assumption the preferred order was the opposite one, for ages. I've flipped the order on 10s if not 100s of entries throughout the years.

For Japanese names we put the family name first. Please make a case for such a change.

enwiki treats it as a single individual character rather than a class of enemies so I went with [person] instead of [unc]

I don't think we should include every minor character in every TV show

I'll push it off to the names file. Eventually it can possibly get a better tag.

If there's no support for it in non-anime sources, I think it should be rejected.

i don't think it's worth recording.  it's A+B and seems extremely rare/limited in usage.  the reading (if correct), is the only useful part i think

ドライアッド	278
ドリュアス	423
樹妖精	57

My concern here is to determine if it's used anywhere in Japanese outside the anime world. The usual (so to speak) words for dryad are ドライアッド andドリュアス. I find it harmless, but others may disagree.
