Category is too general, and too POV to be useful. While the Category:One-of-a-kind computers is useful (computers built only once), this category attempts to divide game consoles due innovation. As virtually every console brought an innovation, virtually every console would need to be added here. ReyBrujo 21:00, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, based on the article you linked to, the TurboGrafx 16 was fairly popular in Japan; it just didn't sell in the US. Thus you've just demonstrated yet one more potential problem about this misguided category. ;) 24.19.184.243 03:53, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This category's current name is too all encompassing and rather than allow for the subtleties that an article's text permits it just blanket labels anyone found in it as an "anti-Semite". While it's true that a given individual may express views on anti-Semitism, to blanket refer to them as an anti-Semite, particularly if there isn't a body of points of view that add up neutrally to the person being labeled as such allows for editors to add individuals based upon their own original research personal points of view. Netscott 20:42, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If that logic were true wouldn't it seem likely that we'd find Abraham Foxman in Category:Anti-Semitism already? Netscott 21:39, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sure that if you corrected that oversight no one would object. I just added John M. Oesterreicher (noted opponent of anti-Semitism) to that category, and will do so for other articles relevant to anti-Semitism as I stumble upon them.--Mantanmoreland 19:34, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not encyclopedic, and not noteworthy enough to be mentioned in the bio articles. The people listed are not particularly associated with Vespa, and this type of categorization encourages the proliferation of trivia. Also could be interpreted as product endorsement, although I doubt this was the intent. Rossrs 13:47, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As the creator of the category, I can understand your points. However, just because someone rides a Vespa doesn't necessarliy mean it should be in their Bio - probably only the Bristish Chef Jamie Oliver would afford such an accolade in his Bio, even ahead of Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn who bought about it's global popularity from the film Roman Holiday. However, because it doesn't need to be mentioned in the Bio, but beacuse it is so trend setting and one of the accessories of many of the percieved leading crowd, I felt it better to create a category which listed real owners. Only if I could find a direct link article or photo, have persons been listed in this category. Perhaps you can suggest a category heading which would encompass the above, plus the design and engineering aspects of the company? Rgds, - Trident13 15:32, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Information of this sort is already listed at the Vespa article, as I see it. If the person's association with Vespa is notable enough to warrant mention, by all means do so, but I doubt there's a significant number of people we'll find, where we can honestly say that such an association is one of their primary identifying characteristics, if that makes sense. I truly do appreciate your contribution, but it seems more like article information than a category, to me. Luna Santin 22:10, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think so too, and Trident13, I mean no disrespect here but I disagree with your reasoning. Hepburn and Peck for example, weren't Vespa riders really. They played fictional characters who rode a Vespa in a film. It was probably the best and most enduring advertisement Vespa could have hoped for but it was the characters who were Vespa riders, not the actors. Audrey Hepburn also played a princess in the same film, but it would be wrong to list her in "Category:Princesses", as it would be equally wrong to list Peck in "Category:Journalists" because he played a journalist the film. I know there's a gulf of difference between "Category:Princesses/Journalists" and "Category:Vespa scooters riders" but the reasoning behind characterising people or articles into any category should be consistent.

We already have Category:Conflicts in Canada and Category:Military history of Canada dealing primarily with military conflicts in and out of Canada. by removing or changnig the instructions on the Category:Conflicts in Canada, the category could accept non-military confrontations between groups within Canada, along with military confrontations that perhaps are not considered wars. The Category:Aboriginal conflicts in Canada was created in an effort to keep Category:Conflicts in Canada to exclusively military subjects, making Category:Conflicts in Canada somewhat more redundant then it already was. Category:Aboriginal conflicts in Canada also is a small category with little potential for growth. Mike McGregor (Can) 02:07, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
