Dynasties, houses and political families

When I look at some of the biographical entries, it seems to me we'd be better off listing dynasties, houses and political families rather than the minor members of those families. Examples of this include:

And, if you're wondering how this is handled presently. Note the inconsistency:

  • Ming Dynasty, for example, is listed as a level 4 topic under history; Tang dynasty is a level 3.
  • None of the British houses are listed as vital articles
  • The Habsburgs rate a Level 4 topic under history.
  • The Capetians rate a Level 4 topic under history but the Bourbons are unlisted.
  • The Kennedys, Adamses and Roosevelts are all unlisted, but the Kennedys have been proposed as a biographical (under politicians) topic. The Rockefellers and Astors are listed as a biographical (under business) topic.

Am I alone in believing we need more of these? And should these be handled as historical or biographical? Should we create a separate section or pepper them amongst various sections? Do we need an overarching guideline for this, or can this be solved by individual adds or swaps? pbp 16:13, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Add The Devil to Pay in the Backlands

Quoting from the lead section, «widely regarded as the greatest work of Brazilian literature and one of the most important novels of Portuguese language literature and South American literature».

Support
  1. Support - a novel that is so important in Brazilian and South American literature should be included. I feel the English-language article is a bit lacking on its reception (I'll add some more sources to the article later) so I'll bring some sources here. The English-language sources I found consistently praise it: Bokklubben World Library called it one of the greatest of all time; the Encyclopedia Britannica article says of the author João Guimarães Rosa, "His monumental epic novel, Grande Sertão: Veredas (1956; The Devil to Pay in the Backlands), firmly established his international reputation." and it's been on a few lists of greatest novels of all time (Guardian list 1, Guardian list 2). According to this journal article, the book was and is very widely praised both in the Lusophone world and abroad, being compared to Joyce's Ulysses, and is the reason why Rosa was unanimously elected to the Academia Brasileira de Letras, and is extremely influential in Brazilian literature ("Since its publication in 1956, Grande sertão: Veredas has been praised in an extensive corpus of scholarship for its linguistic and structural innovations, placing it firmly among the masterworks of the Brazilian canon. As John King notes, in the Brazilian tradition “there is a distinct ‘before’ and ‘after’ Rosa” (68), and critics such as Charles A. Perrone have even viewed Rosa as “[t]he undisputed master of modern Brazilian narrative”." Jaguarnik (talk) 23:54, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

I took a quick glance at the household appliances section of Technology, and was surprised to find out that there were little to no minor appliances used daily, besides the more obvious Oven, Refrigerator, Washing machine, etc. There are many things that I could think of that could also be included, such as Microwave oven, Hot-water heater, Toaster, Coffeemaker, Hair dryer and more. If there is too little space for these types of additions (I see we are just at capacity in the Technology portion), debate around the amount of articles added/removed I support. I see this more as a discussion for future reference for others who may want clarification going forward before they are added without permission. NSNW (talk) 21:13, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

Would it be more appropriate to propose the removal of articles from the household appliances section (28 articles I believe), or remove articles spanning the entire technology section.

Discussion

Not sure about the vitality of any of these politicians, but the argument given is not particularly enticing. Guam and America Samoa are U.S territories and French Polynesia and New Caledonia are French overseas departments. These regions are all quasi-states so they do possess a good degree of autonomy. Additionally, using population as a criterion for inclusion would exclude many important (former) head of states from micronations that are currently (and rightfully) listed. Removing these entries would create a big void in the representation for these departments and territories, even though they are not independent they still need representation.

Support removing Republic of Crimea, oppose removing Autonomous Republic of Crimea
  1. Don’t be fooled into thinking that the subjects are of similar scope and status because they have similar names. Crimea is about a permanent geographical region. Autonomous Republic of Crimea is a child article, about a political–administrative entity there established in 1921 and changing status numerous times since – and it has national significance for its Indigenous peoples, the Crimean Tatars, Crimean Karaites, and Krymchaks. Republic of Crimea is a child article of that one, about its occupied status since 2014 during the Russian war against Ukraine.  —Michael Z. 15:44, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
    The article about the Republic of Crimea refers to a specific and existing subject of Russia. It does not matter whether this is recognized internationally or not.
    ARK was created not in 1921, but on February 12, 1991. This is directly stated in the article. – Arinbard (talk) 23:26, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
    I don’t see where that is directly stated. It says the oblast that had been part of Soviet Ukraine since 1954 was “granted the status of Autonomous Republic by the Supreme Soviet of the Ukrainian SSR” on 1991-02-12.  —Michael Z. 02:08, 19 September 2023 (UTC)


Discuss

Strictly speaking, ARoC is the main article about an administrative division that was established in 1921, and changed status a number of times. The RoC article is about a civil–military administration imposed by a foreign power in 2014. (And strictly speaking, both of their geographical bounds include the city of Sevastopol, but their political and administrative responsibility does not.) The political status of the RoC is the same as that of four other Russian occupation regions, the Donetsk People’s Republic, Russian occupation of Kherson Oblast, Luhansk People’s Republic, and Russian occupation of Zaporizhzhia Oblast: all are in an active war zone, but the level of foreign control over them varies greatly. So don’t be fooled into thinking that the two articles are of equal status, in terms of their historical scope an permanence. —Michael Z. 15:33, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

This is going to be my last discussion for now. This franchise started in 1984 and is still going strong, as evidence by the movie that came out a few months ago. I was originally planning on asking whether to add to the franchise of the 1987 series specifically to television, but by the end I became convinced that the franchise is more vital. I also came around that this franchise is probably best suited for the comics section. It started out as one, there are other TMNT comics out there, and to further my argument regarding how vital TMNT is, the original Mirage Studios comics gets frequently brought up when people discuss the history of independent comics. --Eyeluvbraixen (talk) 04:25, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Sisyphus is famous world over as a symbol for an aspect of the human condition. The Philosophy and Religion section is slightly overquota, so something preferably should go to compensate. Cassiopeia, judging by the article, stood out to me as not of particular importance. While the constellation is level-4 vital I don't think being its namesake matters particularly much. The summary of the mythological character in the constellation's article suffices in my opinion.

Consiering Japan has 3x pop but just 67 cities, and China and India, both ~30x as big, get ~150, I think South Korean section is overdue for a cut (another metric: Poland, a similar country in Europe, population-wise, gets just 16 cities). Germany and France, each 2x the size and population of South Korea, get exactly the same number (43). I am quite fond of Korea, but I think we have some bloat here. Cutting all the stubs (8+Namyangju that I just reassessed as start) might be a good start (ex. Yangsan - nothing in this minor town seems vital at any level, I fear). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:43, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

Proposal for removing of the 8 South Korean stub cities from the list (which will still leave us with too many, but I think that's a start). Stubs: Bucheon, Gimpo, Gwangju, Gyeonggi, Gunpo, Gyeongsan, Hwaseong, Gyeonggi, Jinju and Yangsan. Plus Namyangju. I'd also seriously consider removing most if not all of the 14 articles currently assessed as start class but we can discuss it in a separate vote perhaps? (C+ cities currently number 10, and one start class is at level 4, and frankly I am not sure why (Gwangju)).

  1. The strongest possible oppose. The comparison is not convincing; the White Stripes achievements are being cherry-picked and downplayed as "niche". The White Stripes have an article for their awards and nominations (contrary to the Kings of Leon), let's exame it. They won 6 Grammy Awards (more than Kings of Leon), the categories' supposed, subjective, "hierarchy" is irrelevant, a Grammy is a Grammy and it is not niche at all. They also got 5 MTV Video Music Awards and too many nominations to count (Kings of Leon only got the lesser known MTV Europe Music Awards, which The White Stripes also pocketed in any case). There are a couple of other less prominent, but still notable, awards they won or were nominated to like the Billboard Music Awards or the British Phonographic Industry's awards. It could also be argued that Kings of Leon's multiplatinum albums in Australia and the UK are niche compared to the US one, 70,000, 300,000 and 1,000,000 album sales respectively. Either way, the number of (multi)platinum are mostly a matter of marketing not vitality, there are artists with even Diamonds (albums or singles sold more than 10,000,000 times), like Florida Georgia Line and Halsey (singer), that don't even come close to VT5. Sure, this could also be said about Grammys and other awards; which just comes to show how the number of accolades and album sales are not the best measure of vitality. What mostly matters is if they had a lasting effect throughout society. The White Stripes surely had, they were very innovative both musically and aesthetically, they are credited with the new rock revolution, popularizing indie rock and influencing numerous contemporary bands such as The Black Keys and the Arctic Monkeys. Yes, I am a fan of The White Stripes if that wasn't clear. — The Blue Rider 00:01, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

  2. @The Blue Rider, Hawkeye7, and Grnrchst: while The White Stripes are up for discussion, they are currently listed in General Rock which is oversubscribed by 11% (111/100 articles), but should they be in the alternative music (26/25 articles) subcategory of Rock. Half of their 6 grammys are in Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album and 2 of their 3 #1 singles are in Alternative Airplay. I suspect if they had been properly listed, I would not have kicked this hornets nest.

  2. Genetic discrimination would fall into the 'Discrimination' category since it's sole objective is to treat others differently due to gene mutations or genotype. On the other hand, eugenics is a way of human enhancement, with its main purpose to improve human genetics; this is often achievable through discrimination, but there are cases such as human genetic enhancement and prenatal testing that are not.

Drastic changes to specific TV programs (Removals)

So, I have been going through the Level 5 pages trying to get the qualifiers visible (the parenthesis after the title that specifies what the article is about; I don't know what the specific wikiterm is). Anyway, I just finished working on the Culture page, and... look, I know you guys just had a discussion on removing some TV programs, but I still see some shows that can be removed. However, despite being over quota by 118 articles, I still think we missing some programs? Now, I did initially do some bold removals (and a bold addition), but I undid them after I realized I want to do something big. I'm thinking about removing twenty shows, adding ten new ones, and swapping five show for something else,. More or less. To make it easier for everyone, I'm splitting this topic into three. By the way, all my removal suggestions are going to be American shows, because that's where the glut is. --Eyeluvbraixen (talk) 04:25, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

OK, so I know there is a very dedicated fanbase for this show (as evidence by how many times this show got revived), but in terms of shows bringing cold cases to the public, I think America's Most Wanted is more vital of this type of program, especially since AMW doesn't spend half of its time discussing paranormal incidents.

I recently wrote an edit summary that we should drop The $64,000 Question and instead add the 1950s quiz show scandals to History instead. Now, I was operating under the assumption that The $64,000 Question was directly involved in the scandals; it's turn out that the show simply lost popularity because of it. That said, I still think the scandals are more important than any quiz show from that period. (As swapping The $64,000 Question for "1950s quiz show scandals" would involve two completely separate pages, I'm largely just advocating for removing The $64,000 Question.) --Eyeluvbraixen (talk) 04:25, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Remove The Transformers (TV series)

NOT REMOVED

My main logic for this removal is that The Transformers are seen first and foremost as toys. (Note that the franchise is already listed under toys.) However, I am not a fan of the idea that only one thing relating to something can be vital, and since the show is responsible for worldbuilding the toy's lore, I understand how one can argue that the show is just as vital as the article on the franchise. --Eyeluvbraixen (talk) 04:25, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

  1. Oppose. This show spawned an entire media franchise and has entered the popular culture to a point that I think it should be listed. Rreagan007 (talk) 20:40, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
  2. Oppose Significant television program in terms of popular culture. Curbon7 (talk) 20:48, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
  3. Oppose Transformer has quite global influence in fame for current generatin, if this was purely known for toys and games then actors who play in TV would be less famous. Dawid2009 (talk) 20:28, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

So the previous discussion largely focused on kid shows. Now as much as I hate seeing my favorite shows like Ed, Edd, n Eddy be remove from the list, at the end of the day no matter how much I grew up on them, there are some shows that are just not important. Tiny Toon Adventures is one of them. --Eyeluvbraixen (talk) 04:25, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Here's another a show that I grew up on that I admit is not really vital. I got to be honest though I'm kind of surprise that this show manage to get added and not Invader Zim, which is much more acclaimed. --Eyeluvbraixen (talk) 04:25, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

All right, so this show is way more acclaimed than the previous two, but still, I don't think to the point where it makes the show vital. (I don't think the asinine debate on whether this show qualifies as copaganda is enough either.) --Eyeluvbraixen (talk) 04:25, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
