Would it be more appropriate to propose the removal of articles from the household appliances section (28 articles I believe), or remove articles spanning the entire technology section. I'm pretty new to this process and would like some input. In the meantime, I'll make a list of things that should be subbed in. NSNW (talk) 17:13, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

1. Don’t be fooled into thinking that the subjects are of similar scope and status because they have similar names. Crimea is about a permanent geographical region. Autonomous Republic of Crimea is a child article, about a political–administrative entity there established in 1921 and changing status numerous times since – and it has national significance for its Indigenous peoples, the Crimean Tatars, Crimean Karaites, and Krymchaks. Republic of Crimea is a child article of that one, about its occupied status since 2014 during the Russian war against Ukraine.  —Michael Z. 15:44, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Strictly speaking, ARoC is the main article about an administrative division that was established in 1921, and changed status a number of times. The RoC article is about a civil–military administration imposed by a foreign power in 2014.

This is going to be my last discussion for now. This franchise started in 1984 and is still going strong, as evidence by the movie that came out a few months ago. I was originally planning on asking whether to add to the franchise of the 1987 series specifically to television, but by the end I became convinced that the franchise is more vital. I also came around that this franchise is probably best suited for the comics section. It started out as one, there are other TMNT comics out there, and to further my argument regarding how vital TMNT is, the original Mirage Studios comics gets frequently brought up when people discuss the history of independent comics. --Eyeluvbraixen (talk) 04:25, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Sisyphus is famous world over as a symbol for an aspect of the human condition. The Philosophy and Religion section is slightly overquota, so something preferably should go to compensate. Cassiopeia, judging by the article, stood out to me as not of particular importance. While the constellation is level-4 vital I don't think being its namesake matters particularly much.

I was surprised to see Namyangju in Vital 5. This took me to "South Korea (43 articles)". What is the criteria used for how many cities a country gets? North Korea has just 4 cities, despite being only a big smaller than South Korea. Consiering Japan has 3x pop but just 67 cities, and China and India, both ~30x as big, get ~150, I think South Korean section is overdue for a cut (another metric: Poland, a similar country in Europe, population-wise, gets just 16 cities). Germany and France, each 2x the size and population of South Korea, get exactly the same number (43). I am quite fond of Korea, but I think we have some bloat here. Cutting all the stubs (8+Namyangju that I just reassessed as start) might be a good start (ex. Yangsan - nothing in this minor town seems vital at any level, I fear). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:43, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

Proposal for removing of the 8 South Korean stub cities from the list (which will still leave us with too many, but I think that's a start). Stubs: Bucheon, Gimpo, Gwangju, Gyeonggi, Gunpo, Gyeongsan, Hwaseong, Gyeonggi, Jinju and Yangsan. Plus Namyangju. I'd also seriously consider removing most if not all of the 14 articles currently assessed as start class but we can discuss it in a separate vote perhaps?

1. The strongest possible oppose. The comparison is not convincing; the White Stripes achievements are being cherry-picked and downplayed as "niche". The White Stripes have an article for their awards and nominations (contrary to the Kings of Leon), let's exame it. They won 6 Grammy Awards (more than Kings of Leon), the categories' supposed, subjective, "hierarchy" is irrelevant, a Grammy is a Grammy and it is not niche at all. They also got 5 MTV Video Music Awards and too many nominations to count (Kings of Leon only got the lesser known MTV Europe Music Awards, which The White Stripes also pocketed in any case). There are a couple of other less prominent, but still notable, awards they won or were nominated to like the Billboard Music Awards or the British Phonographic Industry's awards. It could also be argued that Kings of Leon's multiplatinum albums in Australia and the UK are niche compared to the US one, 70,000, 300,000 and 1,000,000 album sales respectively. Either way, the number of (multi)platinum are mostly a matter of marketing not vitality, there are artists with even Diamonds (albums or singles sold more than 10,000,000 times), like Florida Georgia Line and Halsey (singer), that don't even come close to VT5. Sure, this could also be said about Grammys and other awards; which just comes to show how the number of accolades and album sales are not the best measure of vitality. What mostly matters is if they had a lasting effect throughout society. The White Stripes surely had, they were very innovative both musically and aesthetically, they are credited with the
   new rock revolution, popularizing indie rock and influencing numerous contemporary bands such as The Black Keys and the Arctic Monkeys

So, this show is acclaimed, but I don't think it's to the point where that alone is enough to make it vital. Admittedly, I am saying this as someone who has never heard of this show before.--Eyeluvbraixen (talk) 04:25, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

PARTIAL SWAP

+1 month, unanimous support for removal and less than 55% support for addition. The Blue Rider

I recently wrote an edit summary that we should drop The $64,000 Question and instead add the 1950s quiz show scandals to History instead. Now, I was operating under the assumption that The $64,000 Question was directly involved in the scandals; it's turn out that the show simply lost popularity because of it. That said, I still think the scandals are more important than any quiz show from that period. (As swapping The $64,000 Question for "1950s quiz show scandals" would involve two completely separate pages, I'm largely just advocating for removing The $64,000 Question.) --Eyeluvbraixen (talk) 04:25, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

So this show was a rating success, and it ran for an impressive eight seasons, but I feel like this show is here only because of how it inspired Star Trek. Now, that might be enough for some people, but if the original series or The Next Generation is not vital, then I don't know how this can. (No, I'm not gonna write a special rule for anyone who want to bring TOS or TNG back. It was decided by a vote just few month ago that those two shows should be removed.) --Eyeluvbraixen (talk) 04:25, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

I know that this show is loved by people, and it's kind of nice to have this show along with The Flintstones, but it is not remotely historically important as that show. In fact, of the five Hanna-Barbara shows on here (six if you want to include Tom and Jerry), this is the shortest-run show of them all. --Eyeluvbraixen (talk) 04:25, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Another show I initially removed. I'll just be straight to the point, this show appears to be straight-up forgotten, as evidenced by the fact that only the first two seasons got released on DVD. It's does have some Emmys attached to it, and it's apparently ABC first show to be #1 in the Neilsen ratings. Oh, and it's appears to be the first show to be successfully called out for promoting homophobia. --Eyeluvbraixen (talk) 04:25, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Ok. I know that the internet loves Bob Ross. He does have a very relaxing voice that is almost perfect for an ASMR video. However, of the numerous PBS instructional shows, I feel like a lot more people got into cooking with Julia Child's The French Chef than they did with The Joy of Painting.

My main logic for this removal is that The Transformers are seen first and foremost as toys. (Note that the franchise is already listed under toys.) However, I am not a fan of the idea that only one thing relating to something can be vital, and since the show is responsible for worldbuilding the toy's lore, I understand how one can argue that the show is just as vital as the article on the franchise. --Eyeluvbraixen (talk) 04:25, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
