[edit] Former category name

  • This category was previously named Category:Harry Potter parodies before being listed for deletion on April 5, 2005. The following discussion from CFD is now closed and should not be modified.

Had only three entries, one of which wasn't actually a parody. Merged to main Harry Potter category for lack of content. Radiant_* 07:50, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC) I can see the point of this category, but its name is too narrow. I propose that it be renamed to Harry Potter derived works (since every parody is derived, but not every derivation is parodic). Radiant_* 08:33, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep and restore inappropriately-removed contents. It is unfortunate that you have ignored the instructions in the very notice you yourself placed on the category:

    Please do not remove this notice or empty the category while the question is being considered

    As it is, the three articles you have moved are now in the main Harry Potter category which is wholly inappropriate for any of them. --Phil | Talk 13:30, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak delete. Not to nitpick, but the category might have been emptied prior to posting this for cfd, which would have been following the letter, if not the spirit, of the "notice". -Kbdank71 14:30, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Okay, sorry for moving Barry and Tarri. But note that Tanya Grotter is not a parody, but a derivative work. Maybe the category should be renamed instead, but I still find it to be inappropriately small. I do hold that "things related to <foo>" would fit in "category <foo>".

  • Keep. Paradies of Harry Potter aren't part of the Harry Potter universe, and therefor shouldn't just be plunked into the main category. They should remain in this category, which is a sub-cat of Category:Harry Potter. --Azkar 17:08, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Point taken, but I request that it be renamed, see above. Radiant_* 08:33, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
    • That should probably work - derived works would include fan fiction too, which I'm sure there's a boat-load of. I'd probably prefer a more explicit category name, but I can't think of anything that isn't excessivly wordy. --Azkar 13:57, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Support renaming. Thryduulf 14:47, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
