Why put people in the real world and fictional characters in the same category? Notions that "Satoru Iwata and Cackletta are both deceased" sound weird to me... A gossip-loving Toad (Talk) 03:23, 19 May 2016 (EDT)

Not to mention Bob Hoskins, Christopher Collins, Danny Wells, Dennis Hopper, Gunpei Yokoi, Hiroshi Yamauchi, Kate Fleming, and Lou Albano. I think we should have Category:Deceased (fictional) and Category:Deceased (non-fictional). --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 03:35, 19 May 2016 (EDT)

I don't know why, probably the one who put it there felt like it needed to be there but Princess Shroob and Bob Hoskins being in a category together doesn't really make sense to me either. I will have a talk with a Sysop and get something sorted. The RPG Gamer (talk) (edits) 03:55, 19 May 2016 (EDT)

Hi. I would split this into Template:Fakelink and Template:Fakelink. I think it looks better than using parenthesis. --™ The 'Shroom 16:29, 19 May 2016 (EDT)

I think there is a problem with that naming scheme. There are fictional people in that list, such as Grandma Mario and Daisy's mother. Sure, character and people makes a distinction, but I don't think the distinction is clear enough. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 16:37, 19 May 2016 (EDT)

Fair point. Before anything gets done: is this category even necessary? I'm not entirely sure it is. --™ The 'Shroom 16:40, 19 May 2016 (EDT)

Yeah, that does look a bit strange, doesn't it? I say we go for the split. It'd be easier for users on the wiki who want to find a non-fictional deceased person in a separate page rather than find them scrambled on a page with several fictional characters. 16:30, 19 May 2016 (EDT)
