Is this category really necessary? GreenDisaster 14:55, 30 March 2012 (EDT)

I agree, I think it should be deleted. Tails777 Talk to me!

This category seems pointless in my opinion. One, it's a small category, composed of only 13 articles. Two, it's a category comprising the characters that appear as pieces for a chess game that most of the articles give a single line to, if they even mention it. It seems too insignificant to have a category for it. Three, how many people actually use this category? It just doesn't seem that useful.

1. GreenDisaster (talk) Per proposal.
2. LightningBlue (talk) Not enough pages and this is a single game.
3. Super-Yoshi (talk) Really minuscle category, don't need it.
4. Lindsay151 (talk) Per all.
5. Tails777 (talk) Per what I said above.
6. Mario4Ever (talk) Per proposal.
7. Walkazo (talk) - Thirteen isn't horrible as far as size goes (originally, there were categories for every type of chess piece: now that was excessive), but when you look at the articles, it's the ugly ducking of the categories: it would be better to just not have it around.
8. Commander Code-8 (talk) This category may as well be called "important characters in the Mario series". Per all
9. Blue CosmicToad (talk) Aughh!! Thirteen is the unlucky number! Begone, foul category! ...Per all.
10. Vommack (talk) This is some kind of cruel joke here, right?

So instead of having a category for the chess pieces, we have a template. I'm not sure if that's better or worse. GreenDisaster (talk) 20:06, 27 July 2012 (EDT)

Worse (imho). If a category's unnecessary, a template is overkill. Not to mention how its design breaks the whole colour-coded nav template uniformity scheme we've been aiming for... - Walkazo 20:21, 27 July 2012 (EDT)
