Besides only reigning for only two months, he also in the same position as Caesarion and Alexander IV of Macedon, which is "not doing anything beyond being a potential threat (in this case to Richard III) once he's an adult". However, I do think the whole Princes in the Tower mystery is enough to keep him on here. Therefore, I am instead requesting to move him to the Miscellaneous page, preferably under victims (although since we have no idea what actually happened to him, I'm fine putting him under socialites).

Imbalance in martial arts?

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.


There are currently 15 articles on mixed martial arts, a fairly recent phenomenon. By contrast, there's just one practitioner of taekwondo, four of judo and five of karate, even though taekwondo and judo are in the Olympics and MMA is not. Seems off to me pbp 21:21, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

I think it sort of makes sense. Though more recent, it is now a global cultural phenomenon and MMA celebs have more impact and presence on our society. I don't even follow MMA and I can name at least 5 fighters. Gun to my head, I couldn't name a single judoka for example. By your logic, we should be listing more wrestlers or archers or even pentathletes (all events at the Olympics as well) since these are all ancient sports. But clearly that wouldn't make sense. Aurangzebra (talk) 20:25, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
I don't exactly watch MMA regularly. I've caught some fight highlights very occasionally. I recognize the names of 12/15 MMA fighters on the list. I recognize the names of 1/4 judokas, 0/5 karate/kickboxing, 0/1 taekwondo, 0/1 aikido, 0/1 muay thai, 0/1 capoeira, 1/5 sumo wrestlers, and 1/9 wrestlers.

User:Purplebackpack89, You have to keep in mind that a lot of famous martial artistst are listed in other categories (e.g. Chuck Norris, Steven Seagal, Jackie Chan and Jet Li).

I don't like the argument of limiting vital status on an article because we already made another article vital, especially when the other article is a level 4 or higher, but for the architects of the Parthenon  4… yeah just having the temple is enough.

I was surprised to learn that Nicholas Miklouho-Maclay's biography wasn't already included as a vital article. This 19th century Russian-born academic studied many fields and became a name in biological research as early as age 23; however, he later became known more as an explorer and anthropologist. Miklouho-Maclay's exploration and study of the North-Eastern New Guinea Coast (now the "Maclay Coast") was among the first and most famous of the region. The "man from the moon" was among the first Europeans to contact the Papuan people and learn several local languages; he developed trust and became accustomed to unseen rituals and culture. His work created a foundation for contemporary Oceanic anthropology which, on the island of New Guinea, is still not completely researched. His Wikipedia article doesn't quite do justice to his work which expands far beyond the scope of his famous stay in New Guinea; his work is highly regarded in the Australian scholarly community and he has several commemorative shrines across the region. I'd like think this article fits in the miscellaneous sub-page under 'explorers', but I'm open to other suggestions. Idiosincrático (talk) 00:40, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

I'm seeing a lot of people who are in the politicians and leaders page who were "merely" the spouses/lovers of actual politicians/leaders.

I would argue the majority of internet personalities at V5 are worthy of vitality. These two are not in that majority, and I fail to see how either are worthy of V5 (outside of maybe diversity, but they're not even the most successful female content creators). Plenty of content creators have twenty million followers and billions of views at this point (and they weren't some of the first), and I don't feel like any of their achievements are particularly noteworthy. Maybe we could do a swap if there's any objection to an outright removal?

I feel like an area where a mass removal proposal like this should happen next is popular musicians. We have 860 of them at V5 compared to 60 at V4. Plus the "Artists, musicians, and composers" section is nearly 100 over quota. I feel like the most we should have at V5 is around 600... λ NegativeMP1 19:27, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

I hate to advocate against gender parity but for the case of baseball, it just doesn't make sense. Women generally don't play baseball (we list 2 women in the Softball section) and there hasn't been a professional women's baseball league since 1997 (the Ladies League Baseball league which folded after one year due to low fan turnout). The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League  5, which both Kurys and Kamenshek were a part of, makes sense at VA5 because it was probably the first professional women's sports league and it is an element of the (American) cultural zeitgeist through the movie A League of Their Own. However, I feel like this is sufficient and their best players don't need to be VA5 as well (both Kurys and Kamenshek have 1 interwiki each). Jackie Mitchell is an even more egregious inclusion. She was signed to a minor league team as a publicity stunt, played in one game where she struck out Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth, was cut from the team a few days later, and never played in the MLB system ever after that. She is effectively a novelty (albeit a very impressive one) and should not be classified as VA5.

Extremely influential yet controversial animator. He is known primarily creating the cartoon The Ren & Stimpy Show  5, which is extremely influential to animation. He is also known for his controversies around the show. He's often known as trying to be a "perfectionist" on producing episodes for Ren and Stimpy and pushing the limit on television animation with violence and innuendos. (His article doesn't go deep on it, but read Stimpy's Invention's production section for more info) Many animators credit him as a influence so I think he's vital to be here including with the show

Definitely popular but I don't think he's vital enough to be included in the hip-hop section.

He is also credited with being inspirations for other clear-cut VA5-level rappers Kendrick Lamar  5 and Kanye West  5 and even mainstream pop artist Billie Eilish  5.

Known for creating T-Series (company), which isn't even vital (we don't list any record label as vital AFAIK). Not much argument is made in the article to prove he's vital compared to what we have in his section.

When it comes to vitality, I think a music artist like this should only be listed if they have left a truly significant long term impact to their field of work, rather than being a popularity contest. And at present, Billie, an artist with only nine years of activity, is yet to leave any long term impact, and her article doesn't even have a legacy/cultural impact section. Her accolades, popularity, and acclaim are irrelevant if they hold no weight. While she certainly has potential, this listing feels like WP:RECENTISM, and possibly Americentrism. We're also over quota in this section. I say we remove her (and many other yet-to-be-nominated artists with dubious legacies) now, and reassess at a later point.

With a career only spanning 15 years and an article with no impact or legacy section to be seen, this listing appears to be RECENTISM. The only semi-fair justification for listing him would be due to the success of "Blinding Lights", but that is only one song. One song is not enough to justify considering him as one of the few hundred most important modern era artists. Same as with other remove proposals, we can always revisit if he leaves a worthy impact or legacy on the music industry.

  1. OK, some of you have some very weird definition on what qualifies as recent. Only 15 years? That's more than enough time to judge someone on whether they're vital or not. And considering he's spent most of that 15 years as being on of the biggest pop stars on Earth, yes I would say he's vital. SailorGardevoir (talk) 09:15, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
    OP, I'm sorry to come across as harsh regarding your recent proposals. I just don't like how people are acting like we need a full generation to judge the vitality of something. The Peter Thiel proposal got rejected (much too soon personally, since it was a 3-1 decision in favor of adding him, and was closed only a month after the last comment) because someone felt he was too recent, even though he's been a major figure since 1998. SailorGardevoir (talk) 09:15, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
    I feel like that "generation" (which I specifically elsewhere gave room for special exceptions, if they truly proved themselves) is actually essential to determine whether or not something is vital. Especially when we're drastically overquota in this section. I guess it could be lower than 15 years, but there needs to be some sort of general cutoff or criteria if we plan on making this section reasonable. And I'm uncertain if The Weeknd or several other artists would meet whatever that criteria could be, even if it's not mine. λ NegativeMP1 16:06, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
    The Beatles' first hit was in 1962 and they broke up in 1970. Should we remove THEM because they only lasted eight years? Career length is the wrong metric for musicians. They should either be measured by:
    1. Popularity (#1 hits, gold records, ticket sales at concerts...), or
    2. Acclaim (winning a lifetime achievement award or several competitive awards)

    Comparing the most influential band of all time to a singer we can't assess the industry impact of yet outside of popularity is certainly an interesting approach. In no world would I ever call for the removal of bands like that, or even shorter lasting ones like Nirvana (band)  4. It should have been obvious that I meant fifteen years after the career started, even if the act ended. And no, legacy and maybe acclaim (if a legacy can back it up) should almost ALWAYS come over popularity, unless that popularity is long lasting. λ NegativeMP1 03:21, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

I think we can squeeze one more gospel act on here, but unfortunately I’m not sure which of these three I want to add.

My first option was Thomas A Dorsey. I have frequently heard of him referred to as the Father of Gospel Music. Our article claims that he’s written 3,000 songs, including “Peace in the Valley” and “Take My Hand, Precious Lord”, the latter being the favorite song of Martin Luther King Jr.  4. Note however that he is rated low-importance on the WikiProject Christian music. (Although he’s also conversely rated as Top-importance on the WikiProject African diaspora.)

My next option is The Dixie Hummingbirds. Rated high-importance on the WikiProject Christian music, they are probably the most well-known jubilee quartet. They have inspired Jackie Wilson  5 and James Brown  4, backed Paul Simon  5 in his song “Loves Me Like a Rock”, and their rendition of Amazing Grace  5 is in the Grammy Hall of Fame.

My third option is Blind Willie Johnson. So, he’s a bit of a curveball; I know to a lot of people, Johnson is a blues musician first and foremost. I’m advocating him because unlike his fellow Texan Blind Lemon Jefferson, all of Johnson’s records had a religious bent to them. His songs include “In My Time of Dying”, “It’s Nobody’s Fault but Mine”, “John the Revelator”, and the one that went to outer space on the Voyager “Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground”.

C.R. Swart was the first State President of South Africa after South Africa became a Republic - which was at the time, only a ceremonial position, as the actual head of government was the Prime Minister, which is highlighted by him also being the last Governor-General (represenative to the British crown), also a ceremonial position. D. F. Malan, on the other hand, is responsible for being the first prime minister to implement Apartheid  4 (under that name, as opposed to the older forms of segregation present in South Africa) and also marked the start of over 40 years of continuous National Party rule. The only caveat is that he is less well-known for his role in constructing apartheid than his successor, Hendrik Verwoerd  5.
