The result of the debate was closed as ongoing. the wub "?!"  18:56, 31 January 2007 (UTC) Keep - There are many other tv series who have similar categories with a shorter shelf life. As Charmed has been on for 8 years with a number of known actors I believe the category should stay. Artemisboy 23:42, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Oppose - immigration implies coming in anyway; to move out of Australia is "emigration"; it is a tautology to say this twice. JROBBO 12:48, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The term "Australian immigration" could also be used to refer to Australians immigrating to other places, such as "Australian immigration to the United Kingdom". A Google search on "Australian immigration" did not necessarily provide results that showed that it was frequently used this way, but a Google search on similar terms for other nationalities (e.g. "Mexican immigration", "Romanian immigration") shows that the nationality mentioned is the place of origin, not the destination.  This is why "Australian immigration" should be changed to "Immigration to Australia".  Dr. Submillimeter 13:24, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Australians do not "immigrate" to other places; they "emigrate" - if you want to use the word in the context you have used, you have to say something like "The immigration of Australians to Romania", etc; there is no other way you can use the word. Additionally, "Australian immigration" is more concise and easier to type; I can never understand why all the category changes always end up with the text two or three times as long. People do not always go for the correct usage; they go for the quickest, and with my point above this category should stay as is. JROBBO 10:35, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

The result of the debate was upmerge. the wub "?!"  14:46, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Category:Darkwing Duck villains into Category:Darkwing Duck characters


 * Upmerge - "Villains" categories are being deleted as improperly POV following emerging consensus. Villains by show suffer from the same sort of POV issues. Merge to the character category. Otto4711 22:08, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Upmerge per Otto. -- Mikedk9109  (hit me up) SIGN  22:48, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - I thought the earliest discussions had said that villains, like Batman villains, were adequately specific. See, e.g., Jan 12 CFD on Batman Beyond villains.
 * It doesn't appear from that CfD that the idea of merging up any further than that was considered. There is not a parent Category:Batman characters and perhaps there should be and the villains category should be merged there. I can't say as if I'm familiar enough with Darkwing Duck to know whether the "villains" ever "switch sides" in the way that led to various villain categories being seen as POV (e.g. Magneto, Catwoman, Emma Frost, all of whom were categorized as "villains" despite having spent good chunks of their "careers" as "heroes"). It was the first of these series-specific categories I noticed. My feeling though is that there's no reason to keep separate villain categories when there's a "characters" parent cat to upmerge. Otto4711 04:36, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Upmerge, then! --lquilter 21:52, 23 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete As with many other villain cfds, I'm generally opposed to villain categories based on POV problems with the term. Dugwiki 17:40, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Upmerge, the category should be deleted as with all "villain", "hero", "antagonist" and "protagonist" categories.~ZytheTalk to me! 18:01, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep (and aghast at responses so far) - It's a cartoon villain! I'm sorry, but it's not POV to call The Joker a villain, or do you seriously propose that we remove the word "supervillain" from the article on him because it's POV? Fiction is purposefully written to be over good and over bad. 146.186.44.199 19:58, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong keep, categorization of characters as villains is not POV or trivial. -- Noneofyourbusiness 01:42, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Upmerge - As discussed previously, the label "villian" may suffer from POV problems, and characters frequently switch from being "evil" to "good" or vice versa. Categorizing characters as villians is therefore inappropriate.  Dr. Submillimeter 07:36, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Strong keep As before, the role of a villain is most easily defined. But specifically the grey area is a weak case here because groups either operate under a consensus or are a collectively driven race. There's either a continued operation despite a defector or two, or the group is dismantled; rarely is their a collective "switch" involved. I'd also like to add that lots of recognised legitimate categories can easily be confliced by perspective issues. --Bacteria 14:54, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't think villain is half as subjective as people might think. I hardly think anyone would get upset if someone classified Klingons in the villain category, though they've switched back and forth in Star Trek. Part Deux 21:00, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Merge unneeded over-categorization. Pascal.Tesson 05:27, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I created this category thinking it would be fuller than this, but it has not turned out that way. I have made some attempt today to populate it, so Keep, but if it's still felt it's underpopulated I'ld have little problem with Merge (if all the helmet entries were then put, say, as 'Category:Roman armour|Helmet').

 * Delete: As of the moment, there's only one article in the cat. Unless we can find another half-dozen, I'd zap this. yandman  08:45, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
