[edit] Category:Media moguls and barons

I think this calls for renaming because of the potentially negative connotations of the words "mogul" and "barons". I suggested "Influential owners of mass media" but I am sure there's a better name. JuntungWu 14:38, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Just "Media owners" I think. "Influential" is subjective, and notability is best dealt with through votes on the deletion of individual articles. Philip 14:53, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• I started it, so naturally I vote keep. The reason being that it's a label applied in the literature on this subject. I don't know the etymology of mogul or baron, but I don't perceive them to be negative. --bodnotbod 04:52, Feb 13, 2005 (UTC)

I don't think it is necessarily natural to support a category name one created oneself. I have chosen some names which I later realised were not ideal. This name is too colourful, and will certainly have negative connotations for a significant number of people. Bland category names are best. Wincoote 20:52, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• Title is POV. Rename something like "Mass media owners". -- Infrogmation 01:28, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
