Category talk:Historical Figures

Why are there fictional characters listed in this Category? Are there even enough real life Historical Figures to justifly this Category? --Super Monkey 15:04, 21 May 2006 (EDT)

I would keep it just to identify those weird wacky stories where Superman encountered folks from the past long before the concept of real Earth or Earth Prime being different than Earth 1... --MatterEaterLad

It could be useful only for non-fiction characters, if we keep it just for them, then it should be ok. --Super Monkey 16:30, 21 May 2006 (EDT)

Yeah, actually that's what I meant... ;>) --MatterEaterLad

WHY WAS EVERY ENTRY THAT FEATURED REAL CHARACTERS IN SUPERMAN COMICS REMOVED? This is annoying and should be DISCUSSED before so many entries are changed based on ONE person's idea? --MatterEaterLad

While we are discussing this, should people like Don Rickles, Pat Boone, Perry Como, Orson Welles, Antonino Rocca, etc., be placed in this category or in a separate category such as Entertainers or Celebrities? P.S.-I apologize to MatterEaterLad for annoying him--DrJohnnyDiablo

I hate to add new categories, the list becomes long. I would think that Orson Welles would qualify. Entertainers that are still alive wouldn't and probably wouldn't meet the definition until 20 or 30 years after their death. Seems like a good forum discussion, its easier there than here. -- MatterEaterLad
