 * Nominator's rationale: Please read the discussion at Wikiproject Video Games here: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games . In short, this category tree has two major, unfixable problems: it is inaccurate, misleading, and often unverifiable; and it is non-defining.  Video game characters are created by entire teams, so it is inaccurate to have this in the same category structure as Category:Literary characters by writer; "creator" means something different in these two uses.  If there is to be a video-game related subcategory of Category:Fictional characters by creator, it should be Category:Video game characters by company, which is actually verifiable.  Many of the current uses of these categories are doubtful-to-wrong - e.g. claiming all Mario series characters were created by Miyamoto (when he may well have had <1% of the input and was solely an executive producer / face for publicity, e.g. Princess Rosalina, made long after Miyamoto stopped doing in-the-trenches work), claiming various Mortal Kombat characters were made exclusively by one person (Johnny Cage was made exclusively by John Tobias, but not lead programmer Ed Boon nor motion capture actor Daniel Pesina?  Doubtful, contradicted by infobox, and probably false), or crediting Vaan (Final Fantasy) exclusively to Matsuno despite major input and tweaks by the other staff of FF12 that changed the original character sketch quite a bit.  This is just the tip of the iceberg: basically, "creator" is a misty and unverifiable position, and the true creator is the entire team for video games: designers, writers, artists, programmers, actors, voice actors, etc.  Secondly, even if you believe that a single "creator" can be divined in some cases (more than 50% of the "influence"??  according to who?  It's rare for a truly reliable, secondary source to look deeply behind the scenes to "prove" this), it's not a WP:DEFINING element anyway, unlike the literary case, and is overcategorization.  This one is less strident; Jade (Beyond Good & Evil) does at least mention Michel Ancel in the lede, for example, so sometimes it seems to maybe be important enough.  However, I'm personally of the "less is more" opinion on categories, and don't think this category is adding much.  Also, if you are inclined to ease up the verifiability issues by interpreting "creator" as "anyone significantly involved with the game at all", then the OC concern becomes much worse, as this would then be a reason to add 10+ categories to many characters.  That said, this is a secondary rationale, and the main problem is the verifiability and inclusion criteria mentioned first. SnowFire (talk) 23:49, 31 July 2022 (UTC)


 * As a side note, if the first reason is found compelling but not the second, this would be an argument to delete all of the categories except Category:Characters created by Markus Persson, as Minecraft was a true one-person project and thus is closer to the author-of-a-book case. I still think it should be deleted due to the secondary overcategorization concern, but my delete vote is weaker on this one, and restricting "Video games by creator" to only be for solo or essentially-solo projects would be my second choice.  SnowFire (talk) 23:49, 31 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete all: as I rather effusively stated at that WPVG talk section, in almost every case outside of solo-developed games, no character is "created" by a single person. Vaan (Final Fantasy) may have a particularly egregious (and, more importantly, known) history of how at least five distinct people were involved in major revisions of who the character is, looks like, and acts like, but the same is true for almost every character in these categories. This just isn't how video games are made- there isn't a solo person who comes up with a character and their story and their appearance and their dialogue in a vacuum and it gets plugged into the game that five to hundreds of other people are working on. Books are (generally) solo projects. Video games are team-based projects where many, many people contribute ideas. Saying that only one person made a video game character is wrong and bad categorizing. -- Pres N  02:03, 1 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Support - These should be "by company", not "by person", as the nom rightly illustrates. For such information, each character's article can show how and in what way an individual may have had a hand in a particular character's development or creation, which is the best place for such info, as it can be explanatory on a case-by-case basis and provide better clarity. Categories are not a good use for such things. - jc37 02:20, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 10:46, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and others, this implies the characters were solely created by these people. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 11:56, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per my previous reasoning at the linked discussion. Attributing the creation of video game characters to a single person does not reflect reality in 99% of cases. Axem Titanium (talk) 20:47, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. The nom gets to the heart of the matter: the categorization system is not well-suited for conveying the nuances of who created particular characters. I !voted the opposite way in the "Characters created by Markus Persson" discussion a week ago, but my reasoning was more against the merge proposed in that particular instance. I also notice there's a very similar set of categories that are subcategories of Category:Video game characters by designer. To me, the same logic seems to apply for deleting those. But maybe "designed by" is interpreted slightly differently than "created by"? Retro  ( talk  &#124;  contribs ) 13:10, 4 August 2022 (UTC) (found this discussion while browsing WT:WPVG)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  17:41, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting chinese thought
 * Nominator's rationale: It's unclear to me why Chinese thought is different from Chinese philosophy, which is already a category at Category:Chinese philosophy. At the very least, the "T" in "Thought" needs to be lower-cased. Also, if Category:Confucian thought isn't already a subcat of Category:Chinese philosophy, then how is it a subcat of Chinese thought? I'm pretty sure Confucius was a Chinese thinker/philosopher. Largoplazo (talk) 22:56, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. It refers to things that are not philosophy such as Ideology of the Chinese Communist Party, and Doubting Antiquity School, which are more academic ideas of China rather than philosophical ones Immanuelle 💗 (please tag me) 23:07, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:Dependent territory-related lists to Category:Lists by dependent territory
 * Propose renaming Category:Dependent territory geography-related lists to Category:Geography-related lists by dependent territory (added 25 June)
 * Propose renaming Category:Dependent territory politics-related lists to Category:Politics-related lists by dependent territory (added 25 June)


 * Nominator's rationale: Consistent with Category:Lists by country and all others subcategories in Category:Categories by dependent territory. The convention in Category:Lists by country is to use "-related lists" rather than "Lists by", but a dependent territory are a type of territory, and not a specific country. Therefore it is much more correct to compare with Category:Lists by former country and Category:Lists by country. I suggest moving the container category itself, not the subcategories.

 * The result of the discussion was: split into Category:Lists of video games by franchise and Category:Media lists by video games franchise.  bibliomaniac  1  5  03:18, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose splitting Category:Video game lists by franchise to Category:Video game-related lists by franchise and Category:Lists of video games by franchise
 * Nominator's rationale: List of downloadable English songs for the SingStar series and Harry Potter video games are not the same topic. The former belongs in a category that lists video game related topics, but not necessarily video games themselves, while the later belongs in a list of video games BY franchise. ★Trekker (talk) 12:17, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗  plicit  07:05, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Certainly split, there are at least two types of articles, "video games" articles and "media" articles. The first target may become Category:Media lists by video games franchise, or else maybe split further. The second target is ok. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:32, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose renaming using "Video game-related lists" unless that is done in conjunction with the parent Category:Video game lists and all its other "Video game lists by X" sub-cats.
 * As for the split to a new sub-cat Category:Lists of video games by franchise, that sounds at first like a sensible intersection sub-cat with Category:Lists of video games. However, it may be problematic for the "List of Y media" articles, as e.g. List of Ace Attorney media is primarily a list of video games, with a few entries for publications tacked on in a tiny section at the end – so which category should it go in? Both? – Fayenatic  L ondon 13:49, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Personally I feel like those lists would go in the parent category since they are certainly lists very much related to video games, but not just a list of video games, but I can understand that many others might disagree.★Trekker (talk) 11:05, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
 * So, I am in support of the split but I'm not really sold on the naming selections for the split. Sure Category:Lists of video games by franchise is pretty clear, but Category:Video game-related lists by franchise not so much as it could easily become a magnet for simply any list that is vaguely related to video games (fake eg, "list of video game programmers that wear polyester pants") which would effectively make this other catagory a garbage dump. I propose Category:Lists of video games media by franchise and Category:Lists of video games by franchise as a more sensable name split. BcRIPster (talk) 16:23, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I could live with that too, though my earlier suggestion Category:Media lists by video games franchise seems slightly more precise and concise than Category:Lists of video games media by franchise. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:44, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

 * If these were films instead of lists of video games, I think we would be splitting between Category:Films by featured character and some subcat of Category:Film franchises. I don't see why we should treat these any differently. So split to Category:Lists of video games by franchise and Category:Lists of video games by featured character. - jc37 11:32, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment - Two things: Using the word media in the naming of creative works, is a bad idea for all the reasons that have been noted over the years. And after seeing quite a few CFDs regarding cats with the word franchise, over the years, I'm starting to think using the word "franchise" causes more confusion in naming than it's worth. And also, I see that some of these lists include non-video game works based upon video games, as well. So not opposed to a split to Category: Lists of works based on video games, as well. - jc37 00:52, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: rename as option A.  ✗  plicit  12:01, 14 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Option A
 * Propose renaming Category:Leaders of British trade unions to Category:British trade union leaders
 * Propose renaming Category:Leaders of American trade unions to Category:American trade union leaders


 * Option B
 * Propose renaming Category:Canadian trade union leaders to Category:Leaders of Canadian trade unions
 * Propose renaming Category:Dutch trade union leaders to Category:Leaders of Dutch trade unions
 * Propose renaming Category:Romanian trade union leaders to Category:Leaders of Romanian trade unions
 * Nominator's rationale: standardize naming across the tree. Earlier this discussion led to no consensus, not the least because some discussants opinionated that the whole tree should be discussed in conjunction. Well here is the whole tree. Note that trade unions are mostly limited to one or two countries anyway (two is possible in case of US+Canada). Option A would also include leaders of truly global organizations. Either option A and B are better than the status quo, I guess that is a no-brainer. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:16, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Option A - as the parents of the first are and  this seems an inevitable conclusion. Oculi (talk) 10:04, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Option A is much preferable for both accuracy and easy of navigation.--User:Namiba 11:42, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Option A per above. &#8213; <span id="Qwerfjkl:1659271851908:WikipediaFTTCLNCategories_for_discussion/Log/2022_July_31" class="FTTCmt"> Qwerfjkl talk  12:50, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Option A has the advantage that we dont need to know the nationality of the individuals - which is rarely mentioned in articles.Rathfelder (talk) 08:52, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
 * in all fairness I think you are supporting option B. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:09, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Option A, because it's better Zarasophos (talk) 15:59, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Option A for preference, but either would do. Peterkingiron (talk) 19:01, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment What of an Italian trade unionist who is a leader of a French trade union? Not many I realise, but are we identifying the country where the union is and its leader or the leader's nationality? (Certainly though some locations where the nationality issue could be contentious, eg Ireland, Spain). It would appear to me the intention of the categorisation is to group leaders of trade unions by country, not nationality.  Option A appears ambiguous to me, Option B more precise without the ambiguity. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 12:41, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
 * That is true, but there are also examples of the reverse. There are international unions (like many of those in the US and Canada as well as the IWW and more). Is the SEIU an American trade union? The IWW? If so, what about Canadian or Puerto Rican union leaders? I don't see how putting the leader of SEIU Canada in an American-only category aids navigation. That's why sorting by the nationality of the person, not where their organization is located, makes more sense to me.--User:Namiba 15:29, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
