The result of the debate was delete; arbitrary inclusion. Category:Wealthy fictional characters was closed as delete. --Kbdank71 20:50, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deletion: Category:Fictional millionaires (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Propose deletion: Category:Fictional billionaires (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Having a million (or billion) dollars (or pounds) is an arbitrary inclusion criterion. Is a person with 999,999 dollars really that different from a person with one million? But even if you're inclined to answer yes, these categories have a much bigger problem: Just how many Rigellian credits or Barrayaran marks must one have to be considered a millionaire? No one has provided us with exchange rates for Middle Earth or Ferenginar. Even if you ignore fictional monetary systems and exchange rates, the inclusion criteria is pretty vague. Someone who had a million pounds in 18th century Britain is a whole different animal from someone has a million pounds in 21st century Britain. And a character from a future Britain in a time of runaway inflation might be described as a "millionaire" to indicate his grinding poverty. "Millionaire" and "billionaire" are slippery, ill-defined concepts, and not appropriate for categorization.
Note: the related category, Category:Wealthy fictional characters, is also being debated here. I tend to agree that that category is subjective, but while contemplating the matter, I realized that these categories seem even worse, hence this nomination.
Note2: The billionaires category was previously nominated on April 17, but that debate was closed as no consensus, and I believe that this nomination raises some significant new points that were not mentioned at the previous discussion, so I don't consider this a hasty nomination. -- Xtifr tälk 21:36, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deletion Category:Entrepreneurs (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) - Entirely subjective category; at the moment a subcat includes Alexander Graham Bell who didn't even file his own patents. Upmerge this to Category:Businesspeople (although some, like Bell, should go to Category:Inventors). This should apply to all similarly named subcats. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 20:34, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In particular, I propose to
  • upmerge all the instances of Category:Entrepreneurs by nationality into the corresponding Category:Businesspeople by nationality (many of these are redundant anyway).
  • upmerge Category:IT Entrepreneurs into Category:Information technology (again, largely redundant; and wrongly capitalized at present).
  • Merge Category:Music entrepreneurs inot Category:Music promoters; the difference being largely salesmanship.
  • Rename Category:Child entrepreneurs into Category:Child businesspeople. Every lemonade stand is an act of entrepreneurship; the members of the cat did more. (Perhaps this should stay as an established phrase: but I wanted to make a clean sweep.)
  • Delete Category:Social entrepreneurs as a catchall, even more subjective than the rest of this. (If someone has a better idea for the last one, fine.)

Pavel Vozenilek (above) is mentioning an Orthodox one. There is Christopher (Pulets) of Prague, an escapee from the haphazard rounding up of 'primates', who is an (Orthodox) Archbishop of Prague and the Czech Lands. John of Rokycan is described as Archbishop of Prague and appears to be Hussite, categorised as Protestant. There is also http://www.orthodoxwiki.org/ which seems to have a lot of material (eg Category:Non-Chalcedonian_Bishops, not yet on this wikipedia). (I know nothing first-hand of any of these matters.) -- roundhouse0 18:25, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Historically, the title "Archbishop of Mechelen" was used, but it appears that "Archbishop of Mechelen-Brussel" implicitly includes people who used the older title. In either case, this category should either be renamed as Category:Archbishops of Mechelen-Brussel or split into Category:Archbishops of Mechelen-Brussel and Category:Archbishops of Mechelen categories.

Category:Canadian Press Newsmakers of the Year (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete - This is an honor that goes to people who are so famous that they win many awards and honors anyway (such as Wayne Gretsky and Pierre Trudeau). These people generally are not famous because they won this honor, so it is not a defining characteristic. Moreover, a complete list already exists at Canadian Newsmaker of the Year. This category should therefore be deleted. Dr. Submillimeter 10:36, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Rename - The category should be renamed to follow the convention used for subcategories of Category:Bus transport. (As it is currently named, this could be interpreted as referring to Japanese brands of buses.) Dr. Submillimeter 10:19, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Rename - The convention for most public transport by city categories is to use "method in city" (e.g. Category:Transport in Bucharest). These categories should be renamed for uniformity. Dr. Submillimeter 10:09, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Propose rename Category:London buses to Category:Bus transport in London
Category:London buses (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)Category:Bus transport in London (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Rename - The names of the categories should be renamed to match the parent category, Category:Bus transport in England. Note that this category refers to bus transportation in London in general and not specifically to London Buses, the organization that manages bus services. Also note that categories on public transportation in cities are generally not named after the management organizations that operate the services. Dr. Submillimeter 10:04, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Rename per nom. Category:London bus types/models probably needs splitting off as a sub-cat. Johnbod 23:00, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - The articles on specific bus models probably should not be placed in this category, as they are used in many locations besides London. MCW Metrobus and Volvo B10M, for example, shows those specific models being used at multiple locations outside of London. Categorizing buses according to which cities use them is not feasible, as the list of categories for each locale that would be placed in each article would be very long. It would be best to remove the bus model articles from this category. Dr. Submillimeter 08:46, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Removing the Routemaster would be ridiculous; at present there is no Category:Double-decker buses, presumably as they are all here. This is probably the commonest term for them internationally, & I suspect what the category was created to contain. Probably it should return to this. Johnbod 23:58, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I can't be bothered to research it, but as I said above, I think "London bus" is precisely how most of the world knows these, "double-decker" being restricted to those countries that actually use them widely. Johnbod 22:32, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - A search for "London bus" at Google turns up mostly articles that refer to buses in London, not double-decker buses. Again, I strongly suggest using Category:Double-decker buses for double-decker buses, which, according to a Google search, is used as a term for buses outside of London. (I can cite specific pages if needed.) Dr. Submillimeter 12:04, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Johnbod and I reached an agreement on this issue. Double-decker buses are now listed in Category:Double-decker buses, and buses used in London transport are listed in buses in London. However, Category:London buses still contains some general bus transport articles that belong together, and the category should still be renamed. Dr. Submillimeter 14:08, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Their sibling cats are called "Dragonlance deities" and so forth, so would suggest renaming these to "Dragonlance elves" and "Dragonlance humans" for consistency. Aside from that, I'm not convinced of the usefulness of subcatting Category:Dragonlance characters by race. >Radiant< 09:22, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't be overly opposed, myself, to simply eliminating these categories (particularly elves) and putting all the article contained in it to the Dragonlance characters category. I would also go with renaming them as proposed by the nominator. DoomsDay349 15:25, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was delete. Nothing has changed since I closed the 2006 dicussion: this category is still extremely subjective and certainly not NPOV. Who determines which characters are wealthy? You? Me? Whose standards are we using? Can you verify any of this? --Kbdank71 20:45, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Wealthy fictional characters - This category was nominated on 2007 May 15. In looking over that discussion, I note that no one mentioned that this was previously nominated for deletion on 2006 Oct 12 with a result of Delete. Now while consensus can change, I think being aware of previous discussions is helpful in making a fair and knowledgable decision. In addition, the last nom resulted in No consensus, which doesn't preclude a renomination, and even if that were a concern, it's been nearly a month, so I don't consider this a hasty renomination.
In any case, "wealthy" is subjective, as noted in both previous discussions. See also: Wikipedia:Overcategorization#Subjective inclusion criterion. - jc37 01:45, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • The problem is that wealth is a relative (and rather elastic) term. The poverty level in the United States is far above the median income in just about any country outside the "developed" world, and big chunks of it as well. A poor man in Belgium, for example, is quite wealthy by Congolese standards. And "wealthy" doesn't account for people who acquire or lose their fortunes; are they wealthy or poor? Horologium t-c 21:38, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That's your opinion. Angie Y. 22:36, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You're not making your own case by pointing that out. By saying that the other person's view is just opinion, you're illustrating the fact that the term is subjective. Wryspy 04:46, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
People are wealthy if their wealth defines them in the context in which they live. That is consistent. As for people going from rich to poor or the other way round, if that debars a category, we should delete every single occupational category, as no-one has an occupation at birth, and many people retire before they die. Oliver Han 09:59, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No, that is fact. The poverty line for a single person in the US is $9800/year; for a family of four, $20000/year. I am not going to spend a lot of time looking for income levels for Africa, South America, and South Asia, but those numbers represent high incomes in those regions. I didn't voice a !vote one way or the other on this issue, for a number of reasons, so please don't lash out at me or slag me because I point out something inconvenient. Horologium t-c 23:11, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I've changed the category page to include that the characters are wealthy in the context of the works of fiction in which they appear. This makes it a little more objective; inclusion won't depend on wealth as defined by the Wikipedian who adds the category. It's not perfect (there may or may not be cases in which wealth in the context of the work is disputed), but it's better. WODUP 16:48, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Wealth" refers to some accumulation of resources, whether abundant or not. 'Richness' refers to an abundance of such resources. A wealthy (or rich) individual, community, or nation thus has more resources than a poor one. Richness can also refer at least basic needs being met with abundance widely shared. The opposite of wealth is destitution. The opposite of richness is poverty.

Case in point. Angie Y. 14:50, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
