Category:Villains in mythology and legend

[edit]
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: keep and no consensus to rename. HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 01:45, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: As far as I know, "villain" is usually used in a literary context. We typically use "evil" to describe malevolent gods and there is already such a category called Category:Evil deities, making this redundant and pointless. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:06, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. This category is not restricted to gods or goddesses. This is supposed to be a counterpart to Category:Heroes in mythology and legend, and just as there are plenty of folklore heroes, there are folklore villains too. AHI-3000 (talk) 07:25, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • @MClay1: I wouldn't mind having a Category:Villains in folklore and moving villains in legends to it. But I disagree with moving evil deities and demons to it, that is really something different. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:53, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Surely all evil gods are villains within the myths they featured in? MClay1 (talk) 10:50, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Surely there are plenty of examples that could populate this category that are not evil deities. Looking only at Classical mythology, Antinous of Ithaca is a clear case, and the Odyssey alone offers plenty of other contenders. But there's a different problem, in that "villain" is a vague attribute that can vary depending on the story being told. Calypso (mythology) and Circe are villains in the context of the Odyssey, but does that warrant categorizing them as such? What about the figures from the Iliad, where there's no telling who's the hero and who's the villain? The concept falls apart when applied broadly, so unless the scope can be made clear-cut somehow this doesn't seem like a category that can practically be maintained. --Paul_012 (talk) 06:16, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    There are plenty of stories without villains. I don't think that means we can't classify the more clear-cut examples. MClay1 (talk) 09:15, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. on the musicians category; but merge the harpists category as originally nominated. HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 01:50, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only nationality category in Category:Blind musicians. Seems like an unnecessary intersection between nationality, musicians, and disability. Omnis Scientia (talk) 23:42, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I will note that item 2 in the proposal is to merge the harpists category into the musicians category, but item 1 is to merge the musicians category elsewhere.

However, I do Support merging Category:Irish blind harpists as proposed; I see no compelling reason to subdivide by instrument. Anomalous 0 (talk) 11:07, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
