| Um, any particular reason we need to categorize people on abilities they do? It's like categorizing "characters who can breath fire" or "characters who use magic". {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 14:56, 2 April 2016 (EDT) | | Um, any particular reason we need to categorize people on abilities they do?

| :This is a small throw-away list with little practical purpose, kind of like other poor categories from 2008. I'd say it's around the same level of "Characters who have kissed Mario". I don't think any of us will miss it. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 19:31, 2 April 2016 (EDT) | | :This is a small throw-away list with little practical purpose, kind of like other poor categories from 2008.

| ::I'd hardly complain if this category was ditched, but to an extent, [[:Category:Magicians|Category:Magicians]] is a collection of people who can use magic. Next to the actual magicians/witches/witch doctors/genies/magic-based generic enemies, the category also includes characters who merely own magical devices (such as the [[Koopalings]] and [[King Windbag]]), characters with unexplained abilities (such as [[Master Hand]] and [[Wingo]]), and [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] are also there for some reason. The category has merit, but it's worth retooling that category, imo. {{User:Time Turner/sig}}

| :::We'll probably have to redefine the magician category but that one is worth keeping. This one isn't. As for Mario being there, I guess it has to do with [[:File:SMAS.jpg|his ''Super Mario All-Stars'' appearance]] or maybe that [[:File:Mario GameWatchGallery 3.png|sprite from ''Game & Watch Gallery 3'']]. Not sure about Luigi. That's another topic, though. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 21:19, 2 April 2016 (EDT)

| [[:Category:Clones]] can replaced this "Cloned" category. I think we should only be categorizing characters who were created to be a clone, not characters who have been cloned sometime the the past.

| {{Settled TPP}}
| |
| {{Proposal outcome|passed|7-2|delete}}
| |
| Per the discussion above. This category only serves as a list of pointless trivia, similar to [[:Category:Characters who have kissed Mario]] or [[:Category:Hostages]]. Besides, we already have [[:Category:Clones]], which serves an actual purpose.

| ===Support===
| |
| #{{User|Niiue}} Per proposal.
| |
| #{{User|TheFlameChomp}} Per the discussion above.
| |
| #{{User|Time Turner}} A character being cloned does not indicate anything about the character themselves. Per all.
| |
| #{{User|Ultimate Mr. L}} Per all.
| |
| #{{User|SuperYoshiBros}} Per all.
| |
| #{{User|Baby Luigi}} I did question its existence earlier so I wouldn't mind a destruction of this category.
| |
| #{{User|BBQ Turtle}} I really don't see the point of this category, per all. It also leaves too many open ended questions as to what counts.
| |
|
| |
| ===Oppose===
| |
| #{{User|Yoshi the SSM}} Clones are those who are clones of someone. This is people who have been cloned or have a clone. They both serve their purpose and are needed.
| |
| #{{User|Toadette the Achiever}} For the record, this category's purpose is more definite than the now deleted [[:Category:Hostages]].
| |
|
| |
| ===Comments===
| |
| There are a few people who have been cloned or have a clone, but they do not have an article for that cloned person. And, I don't think they are actually necessary. And I am only going to post those actually in this category.
| |
| *[[Boom Boom]]
| |
| *[[Napse]] (this also includes [[Airnapse]], though they aren't mentioned in the category)
| |
| *[[Pom Pom]]
| |
| *[[Yaridovich]]
| |
| So, these would be removed from the cloned category (because they would have to be removed) when this is deleted, and they don't really have a reason why they should be part of the Clones category. {{User:Yoshi the Space Station Manager/sig}} 13:18, 14 August 2017 (EDT)

| :The thing is, we don't ''need'' a category for this. It's just meaningless trivia in the vein of [[:Category:Hostages]]. [[User:Niiue|Niiue]] ([[User talk:Niiue|talk]]) 02:22, 15 August 2017 (EDT)
