All the Netflix characters are based off the original characters, whether their names were changed or not. Ryuk, L, and Watari are just as different from their original characters as Light, Mia, and James. Light from the Japanese film series and the Light from the TV drama are also vastly different characters, but we don't give them separate pages either.

The characters are always going to be changed in adaptations, and I don't think we need completely different pages for them.
