Category talk:Siblings

Point

From what I can tell, this category (and its subcategory, Category:Twins) is useless. The scope is so vague that it might as well be unattainable, and no, I don't think defining the scope would help matters at all. I'd say delete this category and the other category I mentioned, though I'd like to see some thoughts on the matter before I proceed with a proposal. ^(T|C) 18:20, December 15, 2021 (EST)

I'm not really sure what's so vague about this? It's for characters that have siblings. -- Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 12:47, December 16, 2021 (EST)

I think it should just be for sibling groups, like the Goomba Bros., Jellyfish Sisters, and Henry and Orville, not everyone who happens to have a brother or sister. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:36, December 16, 2021 (EST)

I agree with repurposing the category if anything, though would it look a little off if characters like the Starshade Bros. were in the category but not the Mario Bros.? LinkTheLefty (talk) 13:39, January 2, 2022 (EST)

Wow, this category's been pending deletion for over two years? I can agree that just including sibling groups would be odd and therefore vouch for a deletion. We should also check the other familial categories as well as Category:Children for their potential usefulness. SolemnStormcloud (talk) 12:50, February 25, 2024 (EST)

Category:Children isn't about family relations. It's about... children... minors. Weegie baby (talk)

That's why I referred to it separately from the familial categories (this, Category:Married characters, Category:Parents, and Category:Grandparents). A few other users besides me also questioned Category:Children's viability in a failed proposal on creating a category for teenagers. SolemnStormcloud (talk) 22:37, November 21, 2024 (EST)

This category has been considered for deletion for three years now. I think it's time for a proposal.

Per a discussion on this talk page, various people want this category deleted to due it's vague purpose. While other family related categories exist (e.g. parents, married characters, etc.). The scope on this is a lot more vague than those categories, and that's why I'm assuming why people want this deleted.

Category:Twins was also brought up for deletion, however, I find the scope of that to be less vague.

It was considered to repurpose this into a sibling groups category page (e.g. Starshade Bros., Hooligan brothers, etc.). People thought it'd be weird having a category of sibling groups with the Mario Bros., so I was thinking if this is repurposed into a sibling group category, that we give the Mario Bros. a group page.

I did it for Starluxe. SolemnStormcloud (talk) 11:20, December 24, 2024 (EST)

I noticed you didn't include an option to do nothing. What if someone thinks these two categories are fine as is? SolemnStormcloud (talk) 11:20, December 24, 2024 (EST)

@SolemnStormcloud I added an option to do nothing. Starluxe 13:59, December 24, 2024 (EDT)
