Remove lowly-viewed linguistics articles[edit]
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
- (in increasing order of views)
- Graphetics - branch of linguistics concerned with the analysis of the physical properties of shapes used in writing. A stub with only 2 interwikis.
- Final clause - a type of clause in a sentence. The article mentions that its very rare in English (and doesn't mention its role in other languages)
- Quantitative linguistics - branch of linguistics that deals with language learning, language change, and application as well as structure of natural languages. Has more interwikis than the others, but still feels too niche topic to be considered vital
- Graphemics - linguistic study of writing systems and their basic components, i.e. graphemes. Another niche branch of research.
- Transphonologization - a type of sound change. 1 interwiki.
- Sequential bilingualism - when a person becomes bilingual by first learning one language and then another. 0 interwikis.
- Syntactic change - a type of change in languages. 1 interwiki.
- Cacography - another name for bad spelling or bad handwriting. Doesn't seem vital.
- Crib talk - a thing small children learning to speak do. A cute detail, but doesn't really fit V5.
- Contrastive linguistics - seeks to describe the differences and similarities between a pair of languages. Another small branch of linguistics.
- Dissimilation - another type of sound change. This one also has more interwikis than the others, but still seems too niche.
- Fortition - a less common type of sound change.
- Cluttering - a type of speech disorder. Speech disorder itself is V5, so a specific disorder should really demonstrate its vitality in the article.
- Cyrillization - changing text into the Cyrillic alphabet from another writing system. Another very narrow topic.
Most of these were added by me a long time ago, following SethAllen623's vital articles list. So I'm trying to clean after myself, sort of. How do you feel for their place in the list?

Remove (or swap) lowly-viewed language articles[edit]
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
- French Sign Language family - low views and 8 interwikis. Could be swapped with French Sign Language.
- BANZSL (British, Australian and New Zealand Sign Language) - low views and short in length. British Sign Language has its own article, which would be a much better match as vital.
- Suzhou dialect - a dialect of Chinese, seems less vital than the other Chinese variants that are listed.
- Huizhou Chinese - another dialect of Chinese. Only 5 million speakers in China and the article doesn't show how it could be considered vital.
- Madurese language - 4th most spoken language in Indonesia. We list the 3 largest languages and this one doesn't seem remarkable in some way to be considered vital.

- The 3 languages you mention here all have a lot more native speakers than some of the other languages we currently list e.g. Bashkir language
5, Nuosu language
5, Yakut language
5, Sardinian language
5, the list goes on and on. Maybe some of these other languages have some unique linguistic properties or regional importance which is why they are included here but I don't think it's fair to remove these languages with 5-8 million speakers when there are so many languages we include with 1 million speakers or less. The languages section probably needs a more concerted overhaul. Aurangzebra (talk) 05:41, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
- The languages you mention have an official or some other legal status in their respective countries or country subdivisions, which has been the grounds for being included. A lot of the specific languages listing has been my work, and I looked less on speaker numbers or linguistic details (I studied some linguistics in university, but don't have enough knowledge to rely on that). Your suggestion for an in-depth examination sounds great, and I would really like to see more people's views expressed in this section, as it's a subject I find interesting. --Makkool (talk) 08:15, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
- Yea that's fair. I would be fine with removing these at the end of the day but I just want some consistent framework we can apply. For example, we don't list Kabyle language/Tamazight even though it is one of the two official languages of Algeria
3 and has 4 million speakers (maybe it's because we list the parent Berber languages
4? But if that's the case, we also list both Sardinian and its parent Romance languages
4 and other smaller languages and their parents). Aurangzebra (talk) 09:04, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Remove lowly-viewed psychology articles[edit]
- Systems psychology - A branch of psychology that seems niche. Rated mid-importance in Wikiproject Psychology.
- Clinical neuroscience - Rated top-importance, but low views. Should probably be moved to Biology and health sciences section rather that Psychology.
- Child psychopathology - Rated top-importance, but low views. Could be an outlier. Psychopathology
5 itself is V5 (and rated just high-importance).
- Gratification - Rated mid-importance. There's other emotions that I would remove before this, but let's start with this one (because of low views).

- Too recent and it's more a dictionary term than a concept.
By 2020, many on the political right and some in the center in several Western countries began using the term sarcastically as a pejorative for various leftist and progressive movements and ideologies. In turn, some commentators came to consider woke an offensive term that disparages persons who promote progressive ideas involving identity and race.
I'm not convinced it will stay popular in 5-10 years, especially if it continues to take on a more pejorative meaning. feminist🚰 (talk) 06:16, 14 February 2024 (UTC) - Oppose per above. --Thi (talk) 10:07, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

- As with "woke" – this is recent (albeit maybe a bit less so) and more a dictionary term than a concept. I'd argue that usage of "SJW" has already been on a decline since around 2015. We don't even list Alt-right, which is at least (or had been) a significant political movement in the US rather than just a phrase. I'm not convinced Alt-right should be listed either, but SJW is less significant than that. feminist🚰 (talk) 06:19, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

- Weak oppose though I can be swayed if we clean up the entire list. Not sure we really need a second funk representative especially since Stevie Wonder is already represented by Songs in the Key of Life
5 and though Superstition is a great and well-known track, I don't think it has anything extremely notable about it either on chart performance, RIAA-type certifications, or lasting cultural legacy. That being said, I think we need to rehaul our modern songs list because I think I would add Superstition over (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay
5. Both are well-known songs with catchy tunes that a lot of people recognize but I think at this point, Superstition has a more lasting cultural impact. Aurangzebra (talk) 21:53, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Add At Folsom Prison (potential swap with I Walk the Line

- Neutral but lean oppose for two reasons. First, Johnny Cash's brand of country and folk is fairly unique to the United States and doesn't have the global notability of the other music we include on this list. I think that's also why it makes sense that country currently has zero albums. Though it's definitely changing with the melding between country and pop, country has typically had negligible appeal outside the states. Second, we have other country candidates across both songs/albums that should be considered before we consider a second Johnny Cash work. Off the top of my head, I'd rather include Take Me Home, Country Roads by John Denver which has more interwikis/greater sales outside the United States/more recognizability within the US than either At Folsom Prison or I Walk the Line. I'd also rather include one of Taylor Swift's early country albums which all have 40+ interwikis and global reach (I think at this point, it's clear that her fame and impact have surpassed recentism bias).

Right now, we only have two articles listed under African mythological figures. I think we can afford having at least one or two more. The Orishas are the de facto pantheon of Santería, Candomblé, and the original Yoruba religion. (I know that they’re just spirits who are only worshipped like gods due to how distant the actual one is.) If possible, I would like to nominate one of the Orishas by themselves. Out of all of them, I think Shango is the most well-known. NOTE: Proposal now includes Oshun, per Makkool.

Add King of the Delta Blues Singers, Anthology of American Folk Music, and/or A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector[edit]
I also noticed that we don’t have any compilation albums on here as well. Now, unlike live albums, I don’t think it’s necessary to have any compilations on here. That said, I do feel like that these three are at least important enough to worth discussion on including to this list.
First, we got King of the Delta Blues Singers by Robert Johnson 4. For a lot of people like Bob Dylan
4, Keith Richards
5, Robert Plant
5, and Eric Clapton
5 this was the first time they’ve heard of Johnson, and boy did it changed their lives forever. I think it’s safe to say rock would’ve been a completely different beast if this album has not been released.
The next album is usually held to help fuel the American folk music revival scene. A lot of folk musicians are believed to be inspired by this album, and a lot of musicians on this compilation will later see their careers revived. Includes recordings by Carter Family 5, Charley Patton
5, Blind Lemon Jefferson
5, and Uncle Dave Macon
5.
The last one is admittedly the weakest of the three. I’m only mentioning this because I believe that this is usually held to be the greatest Christmas album ever made. A fine example of the Wall of Sound championed by Phil Spector 5. Has very nice renditions of “Frosty the Snowman”, “Sleigh Ride”, and “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” by The Ronettes
5, and brought us “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)”.

Add détente[edit]
Détente is a strategy aimed at relaxing tensions between two countries. It was first utilized by the Kennedy administration during the Cuban Missile Crisis 4, which ultimately led to the establishment of the red telephone. This approach was further employed by Richard Nixon, resulting in the negotiation of several important treaties, including the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and the Helsinki Accords (both should also be added). Détente played a crucial role in bringing an end to the Vietnam War and contributed to the improvement of relations between the US and China, ultimately leading to China's entrance into the United Nations.

These interventions included the Greek Civil War

Add Imperial examination[edit]
For centuries, the imperial examination system profoundly influenced Imperial China's society, determining social status and governance. It provided a path for social advancement based on merit. It legitimized the ruling dynasty, ensured political stability, and reinforced cultural norms through its emphasis on Confucian ideology. However, it perpetuated gender inequality by excluding women. And was apperently important for Chinese mythology (see Imperial examination in Chinese mythology). All the elite of Imperial China was a jinshi, the highest degree of the exam. In essence, the imperial examination system shaped Chinese society, governance, and culture, leaving a lasting impact on its civilization. The Blue Rider 20:29, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

Swap Crazy in Love
5 with Hey Ya![edit]
I will admit, I’ve been going overboard with my specific musical works suggestion, so this is going to be my last one for the time being. It is sort of weird to nominate something that’s not representative of the artist usual work (of Outkast’s possible vital works that are, you know, hip-hop, it’s either “B.O.B” or Aquemini), but this song is still being praised to high-heaven as being one of the greatest songs ever made. It was already noticeable for being the youngest song to appear on the Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time when it was ranked at #182; the newest version has this at #10. To make up for my lack of swaps in my proposals, I volunteer “Crazy in Love” for removal, as that song came out the same year as this.

Prosthetic makeup feels like a part of the movie making experience in the same way that craft service is: it is ubiquitous in movie productions but not necessarily a V5-vital topic. And the Academy Award category is for makeup/Cosmetics
4 in general, not just prosthetic makeup. Aurangzebra (talk) 11:08, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Lebensraum, a geopolitical concept coined by Friedrich Ratzel, that posits that territories are living organisms and, as so, need to expand in order to provide for their population. This idea was notably adopted and distorted by the Nazi Party during World War II to justify their aggressive expansionist policies. Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime used the concept of Lebensraum to justify their invasions and annexations of neighboring territories, particularly in Eastern Europe, under the pretext of securing land for the German people. This expansionist ideology was a key component of Nazi propaganda and played a significant role in shaping the course of World War II. The Blue Rider 17:57, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Swap: Add The Rose of Versailles, remove Cardcaptor Sakura

The former is decades older and has better claims of vitality, and they have sold a similar amount. Cardcaptor Sakura feels a somewhat questionable inclusion to me, seeming not quite popular/acclaimed/influential/famous enough to be preferred over something like Berserk (manga) or even Monster (manga) (which are scored into the top 10 of various manga sites by their users).
(I initially thought about replacing Cardcaptor with Berserk but eventually decided on a shoujo-shoujo swap, and I'm wondering a bit whether some of Berserk's vitality claims might be too inspired by the 2021 death of its author.)

There are three types of goods in economics, private goods, common goods and public goods. Public goods are of the interest of the state and are specially important in welfare states. They are also widely studied in the field of economics because they have a grand influence in the policies of a state; one must decide whether to allocate resources toward public goods provision through taxation and government spending or to leave their provision to the private sector, considering factors such as efficiency, equity, and the role of government in promoting societal welfare.

Also, I feel like, in general, it requires a much higher standard of notability to include documentaries on this list as documentaries are much less influential in the cultural zeitgeist than regular movies. If we are really looking to add another documentary, I would rather add Bowling for Columbine which has much more of a cultural legacy, is way more well-known, has won more awards (though this is less impressive when compared to a movie from 1922), and is regularly considered one of the greatest documentaries of all time.

There are too many "vital" video games[edit]
Sports, games and recreation is currently 33 articles over quota, with 1,233 articles listed as vital. Around 14-15% of these 1.2k articles are video game related subjects, which we list 177 of. 100 of these are individual video games or series (roughly 8% of all listings here). While I think all concept articles we list are pretty fair listings and I wouldn't change any of them, I think that there needs to be a reconsideration of what series or individual video games truly qualify to be among the most important subjects for an encyclopedia.
Let's say that this list is being looked at again in 100 years. In 100 years, games like Super Mario Bros. 5 or The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
5 will almost certainly be relevant due to their undeniable impact on the industry, and the same applies to their parent franchises, but will Undertale be relevant by then when there's no evidence to support it had an industry impact even 9 years after its release? I get that it could be hard to determine what falls under WP:RECENTISM with video games especially, and making assumptions like this could violate WP:CRYSTALBALL, but its probably good to assume that, if a game doesn't have evidence for industry wide impact only a few years after release and was simply just successful, it likely won't have an impact seen across the industry a century after release.
Another issue here is the lack of representation of listings from areas that aren't Japan or the United States. Even if those areas certainly have more video games originating from them than anywhere else, surely there are some more video games from/popular in Asia that could be considered for vitality. I think the video game quota could possibly be reduced. I don't see an issue with any concept articles we list (since those remaining relevant is basically guaranteed), but the individual series or games could probably be reduced from 105 (which I believe is the max quota?) to a number like 70. Even without a reduction, I think what video games are considered vital needs to be reconsidered as a whole anyways. I would like to hear what y'all think of my concerns and/or proposals for reducing the list amount. λ NegativeMP1 20:56, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- We no longer use quotas for subtopics within the list, like video games. I would support removing some games that are only listed for their popularity and not for any cultural or industry influence, but I think that the former arguably applies to Undertale. Swapping some individual games with concept articles could also be a good idea. QuicoleJR (talk) 21:22, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- Either way, we still have a quota for the entire subcategory, and reducing how many video games we have would help us meet the quota instead of overshooting. Undertale has no more cultural influence than something like Five Nights at Freddy's, which has been rejected for vitality several times, so why Undertale got the pass doesn't make sense to me. Neither should be listed. λ NegativeMP1 21:27, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- I agree, Undertale is a completely irrelevant game that barely anyone has ever heard of; close to zero long-term impact. Make the proposals and I will support them. The Blue Rider

- I wouldn't say it's completely irrelevant, but I would argue it'd be irrelevant in 100 years. Again, WP:RECENTISM. λ NegativeMP1 22:18, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- Completely agree. I've mentioned this on another thread but I feel like the demographic that participates in these discussions is more predisposed to video game culture and therefore tends to overweight video-game related topics. I myself am probably guilty of this when it comes to topics I'm more interested in but it is important that we are aware of our own biases when we vote. Aurangzebra (talk) 23:49, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

- @QuicoleJR: Since Undertale is being proposed for removal (our only indie game listing not counting Minecraft), I'm curious if you think there's any indie games that could possibly qualify to replace it. I like the idea of having one or two indie game representatives, though I don't think Undertale quite meets the bar personally. Your thoughts? λ NegativeMP1 01:20, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
- I thought of FNAF but it's too US centric. I also thought of Cave Story or Super Meat Boy but I'm not sure either could make the cut. Mokadoshi (talk) 01:53, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
- @NegativeMP1: Sorry for the late reply, but I would suggest Stardew Valley. It is considered one of the best video games of all time, it is among the best-selling video games of all time with over 30 million copies sold, it has a pretty good 35 interwikis, and it single-handedly popularized the farming sim genre. It is one of the only indie games that I think has a decent chance of making the cut. QuicoleJR (talk) 15:10, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
- It's a game from 2016, so not even a decade old. I agree with your opinion, but saying it would be vital worthy when it's that young makes me hesitant. I feel like that if any indie game were vital it'd be something of long-lasting importance like the aforementioned Cave Story or Braid (video game). λ NegativeMP1 17:03, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

5 is listed (as it should be), and it is even newer. I think we have room for a game with this much cultural and industry influence. QuicoleJR (talk) 17:26, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

Per the concerns listed by me and others above, I don't believe this game truly qualifies to be among the most important subjects in an encyclopedia, let alone one of the most important video games ever.

Madden and Pro Evolution Soccer are popular series that have made a lot of money, but I'm not seeing the impact they have had past that. The genre is very popular and full of several other examples of popular series that have made a lot of money.

- Wolfenstein 3D basically invented the 3D FPS genre. Games like Fortnite
5 probably wouldn't exist today without it. However, I'd argue that Doom (1993 video game)
5 was more successful in popularizing the genre. I'm inclined to think we don't need both, but at the same time, I'd say the same for having both Need for Speed
5 and Gran Turismo (series)
5 on the list. So, I'm torn unless at a later time we decide that we truly need some additional games to be removed from the list. Mokadoshi (talk) 22:01, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
- Not withdrawing this nomination since it still has some support, but I'm going to strike my own support on it as I've come to the conclusion it's too influential to remove the vitality of.

As per Iostn it is irrelevant what it's popularity is today, if anything, the fact that it still has some active players after all this time adds to the claim of its legacy, not the other way around.

I'm going to vote neutral on this one. On one hand, it served as an outlet for promoting diversity in video games and was certainly influential in that regard. On the other hand, the franchise is basically dead in the water following a sequel that nobody liked and the original game being killed. It's also only eight years old.

Assessed by WP:VG as only Mid-importance, and the game series has sold less than ten million units combined. If we're going to pick between this and Resident Evil 5 for what horror video game series should be considered vital, I say that Resident Evil is far more important. RE seems to have proven impact on the industry, while Silent Hill does not seem to. Listing it as "vital" seems redundant. λ NegativeMP1 17:37, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

- (As someone who improved a lot of RE character articles, not a bias) Silent Hill recently announced its remake because it was inspired by Resident Evil. After dropping their gameplay reveal trailer, they met with heavy criticism, and fans had already lost hope in the franchise. Since then, the franchise isn't as popular as Resident Evil. 🥒Greenish Pickle!🥒 (🔔) 01:40, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Remove Super Metroid[edit]

Metroid Prime was already removed, and as that constitutes an entire subseries of Metroid 5, that would be the one to list. In any case, it probably isn't big enough among Nintendo's other franchises to warrant two entries here.

Not really sure what is special about this aside from being well-recieved and spawning Ubisoft's Tom Clancy's games. The overall Tom Clancy 5 branded franchise may count due to its longevity and spanning several different series of games, and arguably rivalling the fame of the author who inspired it but I'm not 100% sure if it makes the cut in terms of broader influence.

Yes, a lot of people are nostalgic for this console, and it had a lot of great games. But it was objectively a failure from a commercial perspective, failing to meet Nintendo's expectations, had little long term impact, and is their second lowest selling console right behind the recently delisted Wii U. It wasn't even the second best selling console of its generation. This console is already barely relevant these days compared to the Nintendo 64 5 and Wii

Remove Xbox Series X and Series S
5[edit]
In my opinion, considering the X/S as "vital" feels like an leading example of recency bias over whether or not a topic is actually important to the industry, let alone an encyclopedia. The PlayStation 5 5 has sold over 50 million units, so I can give it some slack in that regard (of course, can be reassessed later on), but this one has barely even sold over 20 in its four year long run. Of course, if this console manages to have a long term impact (such as the rumors of Microsoft stopping console production from last year), that can be reassessed at a later date, but right now, this suggests recency bias big time.

Swap Gedenkdienst

Gedenkdienst is a rather confusing article that can't seem to decide if its about Austria's Holocaust memorial organization or a specific phrase, but either way there isn't really anything here that seems to suggest its as important as say, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum 5, and the pageviews are very low for VA5 as well. Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh is one of the largest, oldest and most alarmingly influential nationalist paramiliatry organizations in the world that exerts a large degree of influence over Indian politics.

Add Superpower, Great power, and Middle power to Politics under Political Science, or something similar.[edit]
Superpower describes a state or supranational union that holds a dominant position characterized by the ability to exert influence or project power on a global scale. A great power is a sovereign state that is recognized as having the ability and expertise to exert its influence on a global scale. A Middle power is a state that is not a superpower or a great power, but still exerts influence and plays a significant role in international relations. These three concepts are used very often to describe countries in geopolitical discussions, which most of you are probably familiar with. All three pages are class articles. Superpower has 1,075 daily average page views,
Great power has 885 Daily average page views, and Middle power has 481. While page views aren't the only metric to use, this does show the pages do get some attention.GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 18:21, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

This made me think that Middle power was the more popular term. Do you have a source on this? Also, a regional power can include great powers and middle powers in my understanding, so the two terms are not synonyms. What defines a regional power will depend on the relative power of the region it is in. Therefore, this could be "both" situation rather then "either-or," and we could try to get both regional and middle power listed. Do you have a source for which one is "more commonly used" in international relations?GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 19:59, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
- My source is my International Relations' bachelor's; from the literature I have read, regional power is used more often than middle power. Google Ngram agrees with me as well. The Blue Rider
12:59, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
- I'll remember Google Ngram as a source for this! Thanks for responding! I have a minor in national security, and wrote a term paper on "Middle powers" back during undergrad. As one of the only geographers in the course, I was focused on the "super power", "great power", "middle power", and "Small powers." My career has taken me far from this area of study, so I'm not exactly an expert.
- I would argue based on what I'm seeing now that the "powers" I listed are based on global influence, while "regional power" would be local geographic. A power like China, (Which is debatably a superpower, and obviously a great power), is more of a "regional power" in terms of military. Thus, a country can be both a middle power and regional power, or a middle power but not a major regional power, such as the situation with Canada where they are overshadowed in many ways by their neighbor to the south. I'm not really married to that opinion though. We may need to consider adding the page Power (international relations). GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 18:18, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
- Most academics argue that world is now multipolar, the United States is losing its status as the sole superpower, China and European Union are ascending to the ranking of superpower. That seems like a good suggestion, there are plenty of other important topics missing from International Relations: hard power, soft power, smart power, realism (international relations), Idealism in international relations, Constructivism (international relations), realpolitik, among many others.

- On the subject of middle powers, should we remove all countries from V3 that do not fall into at least that category? Is the DRC vital for more than just population? Vileplume 🍋🟩 (talk) 01:22, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
- I would not feel comfortable weighing in on that question one way or the other, that is quite the debate. Just clearly defining what countries are true "Middle Powers" is beyond the literature I'm aware of on the topic, which is admi. Nobody even agrees what the superpowers are, or the great powers (check the talk pages, even with sources people will fight tooth an nail over who they think should or should not be included). It could also be argued that a country is vital for more reasons then it's ability to influence geopolitics on the global stage, and that millions of people with a unique culture and government are "vital." On the DRC, the Wikipedia page notes that "The DRC is widely considered one of the world's richest countries in natural resources; its untapped deposits of raw minerals are estimated to be worth in excess of US$24 trillion. The DRC has 70% of the world's coltan, a third of its cobalt, more than 30% of its diamond reserves, and a tenth of its copper." I suspect most countries have stuff that jumps out like this that would make them "vital" to understanding geopolitics. I would likely set something like "The top 100 by population, top 100 by GDP, top 100 by land area, and all states with nuclear weapons can be included as "V3"" if I was going to have an actual rule for how to sort inclusion of countries. You could adjust the numbers if you want, but I bet that would get you slightly around 120 of the 195 countries. I don't have much of a strong opinion on this though.

Lwa is the category of deities/spirits in Vodou that includes Baron Samedi. BS was randomly added by me years ago. I was familiar with the name from some movie, but I'm not an expert to know if it's vital enough to keep on the list as an example of lwa.

Add Warner Bros. and Paramount Pictures[edit]
We recently listed Namco 5 and Sega
5 as vital articles, and while those listings are definitely warranted, that places video games as having equal representation in Film, television, video game, and music production as film which are far more widespread and long-lasting than video games. To compensate, I propose the addition of the two American Major film studios that aren't already listed: Warner Bros. and Paramount Pictures.

Remove Fire Emblem
5[edit]
For the most part, Fire Emblem is a relatively obscure franchise that didn't have that much of an impact on the video game industry, and the little impact it has had is not enough for it to be considered one of the 90 most important video games and video game franchises. According to our own page for the series, the entire Fire Emblem franchise has sold less than twenty million units with each game having fairly average reviews except for Awakening. Even its own article demonstrates that the series is basically a no-name outside of Japan, with its influence only really effecting the Tactical role-playing game genre (which we do not consider vital.) The sales numbers are so low you probably couldn't even make a "representation" case for this being listed. Finally, WP:VG only assesses the franchise as Mid-importance.

- IIRC I boldly removed this years ago during the WP:BRD phase but it got re-added. (Or maybe I just voted/planned for its removal). Less deserving of a listing than the already-removed Prince of Persia and Kingdom Hearts. Although the video game section got nicely cut down from 130+ entries some time ago, a handful of questionable entries still remained due to very few voters at the time – Zelda subentries especially could be trimmed slightly more...--LaukkuTheGreit (Talk•Contribs) 06:52, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
