The point of this category is? Arniep 17:51, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

  • comment is it really intended that every wealthy character in every book, play, or film every created should go in this list? Is there a category of fictional poor people, fictional comfortably off people?! Arniep 18:18, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
I thought of another one- the giant (or was he an ogre?) from Jack and the Beanstalk, every fictional royal and aristocrat in any book, film, tv programme ever published etc. etc. Arniep 17:00, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Keep Rich folks are interesting. Golfcam 16:25, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Category:User ch-N

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was moved to WP:TFD --Kbdank71 14:34, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Duplicate of Category:User zh, except non-standard (uses english abbreviation of Chinese, "ch" rather than Chinese, and standard WP abbreviation of Chinese, "zh") and unpopulated. The template should go too, as a duplicate of Template:User zh et al. Blackcap | talk 09:01, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

If there's a connected template, then it really should go up on Misplaced Pages:Templates for deletion instead of here. TFD is set up to deal with categories attached to templates. CFD is not set up to handle tempates attached to categories. - TexasAndroid 14:07, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
The whole thing? CfD doesn't deal with categories that have templates? I don't mind taking this to TfD, but I figured that at the very least, the template should go there and the category should go here. Blackcap | talk 20:39, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
O.K. I've gone and listed it on WP:TFD. Blackcap (talk) 18:39, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
  • KEEP for users who are of the Chamorro language, which the associated Category:User ch is used for, get rid of the spurious Chinese entries. 132.205.93.33 21:56, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
    • I see two problems with that: the first is, in Chamorro, does Chamorro start with "ch?" If it doesn't, then this doesn't apply to them (I should mention that it appears that it does, but I'm not sure). Second problem is that I'm not sure that we have any Chamorro speaking Wikipedians, so it might be a pointless category. Of course, if these concerns are answered I don't see any reason why this shouldn't be kept, although, as you say, the template, either way, should be deleted or re-written to accomodate the new language. If we don't have any Chamorro-speaking Wikipedians who wish to use this template, than we can't even write it and thus it's thouroughly pointless, so first you'd have to find if we have any Chamorro-speakers.
