List of enslaved species (talk - history - links - logs)

Another old list, completely superseeded by Category:Enslaved species. Mauser 12:19, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

  2. A lot of this is OR by its very definition. Anyone can be enslaved at any point. Graestan(Talk) 17:39, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
  3. Mauser made me reconsider. See below. Wildyoda 19:48, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

  5. Yay, more list-killing ^_^ Gonk (Gonk!) 17:18, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
  6. Lists go boom. DolukTalk 17:24, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
  7. I'd argue even the category shouldn't exist. How are we defining enslaved species? Species 100% enslaved? Species over 50% enslaved? Species ever targeted for slavery by any group anywhere on the basis of species alone? It's not a categorization that makes much sense or tells you much. Havac 05:26, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Keep

Weak keep. I don't like duplicate info, but this has a distinction from some of the other lists in that it is organized by enslaver. Also, there are currently 68 distinct (ignoring repeats and modifiers) entries on the list, or 75 (ignoring repeats but including modifiers) as opposed to only 45 in the category. The modifiers are also useful information to distinguish between basically entire species that were enslaved and when just a small part of that species was enslaved.

  • First, the list has more entries than the category, because many species are listed twice. Second, do we need mention the species of every individual, who was enslaved at some point? Mauser 19:28, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
    • First: Please read the above comment. I ignored repeated species in my count.
    • Second: Upon consideration of the second half of your comment, I think the only one with a modifier that's really notable is the Human clones during the Clone Wars, and I think this would probably work better merged into the Slavery article. Wildyoda 19:47, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
