But assuming there isn't a copyright problem, I can definitely see how the S&P 500 index is of particularly important value for readers studying the market and economy. It's one of the central data points, so knowing the companies actually on the list is important. However, all that necessarily means is it is probably a good list article or a good list for WikiSource. There's also the problem that the S&P 500 index changes frequently, which runs into the general rule against categories which require maintainence for "current/former" status of its members. Therefore my gut feeling would be to delete this and use a list on WikiSource instead, since the central purpose of the category is presumably to present a freely available data set of companies for researchers.

It indicates that the company is likely to be more closely researched by analysts, and the research is more likely to be easily available.

The S&P 500 is different from other lists such as the Fortune 500 since it is used for the most important stock index in the U.S. markets and it may arguably be the most important index in the world. Having said all this, I think the category should be deleted since it's much easier to maintain the list article than the category -- you just download the [http://www2.standardandpoors.com/spf/xls/index/sp500.xls current list in Excel format] from S&P and process it in a text editor. If editors want to identify a particular company as a member of the S&P 500, they can note that in the company's article or include a link to the list in the article's "See also" section.

[[User:Craig.Scott|Craig.Scott]] 02:59, 16 March 2007 (UTC) *'''Keep'''; I frankly do not see the compelling reason to remove this automatically-generated category. The "Jewish Encyclopedia" articles are very much related to one another and cohere as a category, since they all derive from the same classic Jewish reference source and are all written by the same set of very prestigious authors (Schechter, Bacher, Lauterbach, etc.). Having an "auto-category" for the JE articles makes it possible to view a complete table of contents for the "Wikipediized" JE. While I understand that arguments can be made for deleting some categories in pursuit of neatness or comprehensibility, the "Jewish Encyclopedia" category seems like a very poor candidate for such deletion. ——— With regard to the JE material being outdated (which is not really the topic of this discussion, but bears a response), this is true in only a limited number of instances, and these can (and will) be updated in due time. For example, in the few JE articles on [[Midrash]] that I have checked against the standard modern reference (Strack & Stemberger 1991), very few updates were required, and the information provided by the JE in general FAR EXCEEDS what is available from any other public domain source. There are many strong reasons to have this material in Wikipedia; too many to list here. In no negative sense were these articles imported "in bulk". They were each individually formatted, Wikipediized, categorized, and supplemented with [[unicode]] searchable Hebrew text; I dare say they are among the very best articles on Jewish life, history, and culture available on the internet, and are certainly a credit to Wikipedia.<small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Dfass|Dfass]] ([[User talk:Dfass|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dfass|contribs]]) </span></small> *'''Delete''' Category clutter.

The notion that we should only choose categories which fit neatly into some imagined grand ontology is philosophically appealing, but not currently useful. There ''is'' no grand ontology, and so the only criterion we have at the moment is ''usefulness to readers'', as I see it. On that measure, I think "Jewish Encyclopedia articles" is a useful category. Do you feel that is not the case?

I renamed it from 'Chaturanga game family' because the [[origin of chess]] is a very controversal topic.

[[User:Dr. Submillimeter|Dr. Submillimeter]] 09:25, 15 March 2007 (UTC) *'''Keep''', possible '''rename'''- The idea here is not to decide whether a game is "chess-like" but to include the games that originated from the same common ancestor as chess (i.e. Xiangqi, Shogi, Chess, Makruk, etc.). (Although probably excluding direct descendants of chess itself.) Unfortunately there is no consensus as to what that common ancestor would be, (see Kaufmann's comment above), so it's not clear what the name should be. However, I think the current solution is unsatisfactory: in biology we don't identify rodents as "rat-like animals", so to use a particular paradigm to represent the category would be POV.

When articles egt too many categories, the categories tend to become less useful. The problem is that while someone who is in [[:Category:Irish people]] is unlikely to be in another similar category (or at most 2 usually), someone who is an All Start one year, may also be an All Star 20 more times, requiring 20 additional categories if that is the way that you have it set up.

Which is to say, I had no idea what the category was supposed to refer to until I read the nomination. "Needing fiction made clear" really doesn't convey (at least to me) what the problem is that needs to be addressed. "In-universe perspective", on the other hand, does. [[User:Xtifr|Xtifr]] <sub>[[User talk:Xtifr|tälk]]</sub> 05:00, 13 March 2007 (UTC) *'''Rename''' per nom (although a better name making it clear that in-universe perspective is bad would be better). I've always thought "needing their fiction made clear" was the clunkiest, most ridiculous category title. [[User:Doczilla|Doczilla]] 07:40, 13 March 2007 (UTC) *'''Oppose''' - suggests to misinformed that in-universe articles are tolerated.~[[User:Zythe|<b style="color:purple;">Zythe</b>]]<sup>[[User talk:Zythe|Talk to me!]]</sup> 13:39, 13 March 2007 (UTC) **'''Comment.''' I have updated the text of these categories to address this concern, so we should be able to '''rename''' without a problem. [[User:UnitedStatesian|UnitedStatesian]] 14:54, 13 March 2007 (UTC) *'''Rename''' - not sure what your update was, UnitedStatesian, but the category is added with a template imploring editors to change to out of universe, so I don't think it implies tolerance of in-universe. "Articles needing their fiction made clear" is tres clunky, vague, and unhelpful. [[User:Bobanny|Bobanny]] 18:51, 13 March 2007 (UTC) *'''Oppose''' New name has no meaning to me. [[User:TonyTheTiger|TonyTheTiger]] <small>([[User talk:TonyTheTiger|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/TonyTheTiger|cont]]/[[User:TonyTheTiger/Antonio Vernon|bio]])</small> 22:14, 13 March 2007 (UTC) ::"In-universe" and "out-of-universe" are terms specific to fiction articles, and are described in [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction)]] (in case that's the point of meaninglessness for you). [[User:Bobanny|Bobanny]] 05:36, 14 March 2007 (UTC) *'''Support rename''' - "needing their fiction made clear" is long, awkward, and not descriptive. "in universe" is far better. [[User:Wickethewok|Wickethewok]] 22:36, 13 March 2007 (UTC) *'''Rename to "Wikipedia articles needing differentiation of fact and fiction"''' instead. Oppose "In-universe perspective Wikipedia articles" which is confusing and also meaningless to me (and I suspect most people). [[User:The Proffesor|The Proffesor]] 01:57, 15 March 2007 (UTC) *'''Rename to "X articles that need to differentiate between fact and fiction''' - The current category names are badly written. The names suggested by the nominator may be confusing. [[User:The Proffesor|The Proffesor]]'s suggestion is better, but I did not quite like the grammar he used, so I rewrote it slightly. [[User:Dr. Submillimeter|Dr. Submillimeter]] 09:32, 15 March 2007 (UTC) *'''Rename''' per [[User:Dr. Submillimeter|Dr. Submillimeter]]. The current titles are unsatisfactory, the suggested replacements are an improvement but are still confusing. [[User:The Proffesor|The Proffesor]]'s suggestion, plus [[User:Dr. Submillimeter|Dr. Submillimeter]]'s grammar tweaks, seems to be by far the best choice. :[[User:Xdamr|<span style="font-family: Times"><span style="font-size:140%">X</span><span style="font-size:110%">damr</span></span>]]<sup>[[User_Talk:Xdamr|talk]]</sup> 19:15, 15 March 2007 (UTC) *'''Comment''': I chose the new names based on the concerns of the templates used to populate the categories, {{tl|in-universe}}, {{tl|In-universe/Video game}}, etc. [[User:CyberSkull|Dread Lord CyberSkull]] [[User talk:CyberSkull|✎☠]] 22:52, 15 March 2007 (UTC) :''The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. <span style="color:red">'''Please do not modify it.'''</span> Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page, if any, or in a [[Wikipedia:Deletion review|deletion review]]).
