This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page or, if the page was deleted, in the Senate Hall rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was delete the four listed categories. OOM 224 (he/him/they) 20:44, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
Prisoner categories
- Category:Prisoners of the Confederacy of Independent Systems (history - links - logs - delete - protect)
- Category:Prisoners of the Galactic Empire (history - links - logs - delete - protect)
- Category:Prisoners of the Galactic Republic (history - links - logs - delete - protect)
- Category:Prisoners of the New Republic (history - links - logs - delete - protect)
So, these feel like an unnecessary categorization level; being a prisoner of an organization does not mean an affiliation to that organization (these categories are currently under Category:Galactic Republic individuals and the like), and I don't see much benefit in splitting up the prisoners category by who captured them. Categorization by which specific *prison* they were incarcerated in, like Category:Belsavis prisoners and Category:Narkina 5 Imperial Prison Complex prisoners, does seem useful, but not affiliation-level. If people are fine with keeping them, then I will at least be removing the affiliation-individuals categories from them.

- Per my comments in the Discord, these also seem prone to bloat and are fairly arbitrary (e.g. Leia being held aboard the Death Star or Blix being an ISB captive on Ferrix could see them put in these categories despite being held only for a short amount of time).

-The Mysterious Mr. X (talk) 22:36, 3 August 2024 (UTC) I agree that we should just have one big category for prisoners instead of separate categories for who imprisoned them. I also agree that even if we keep these categories, we should not keep these categories under the category for people part of the captor(s) organization.(Vote struck, reason: Per policy: WP:VEP, General rules, pt. 3 -- —spookywillowwtalk 02:25, 5 August 2024 (UTC))
