Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/1 hit wonders

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bad idea. Categories should be immediately verifiable through objective criteria. Something as subjective as classifying one hit wonders is better handled in list articles, such as One-hit wonders in the United States, One-hit wonders in Canada, and One-hit wonders in the UK.

  • At a minimum, the category is named poorly (1 vs. one). Different people have different criteria for what would be considered a "one-hit wonder", so I agree that lists are probably better - although I'm not entirely convinced we really need even that. Delete the category, move anything that's not already listed to the apporpriate lists. --Azkar 05:14, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per Azkar. And note that several related articles (e.g. 0-hit, 1.5-hit and 2-hit wonders) are currently under heavy fire on VfD, so if there are cats for them we should get rid of those too. Radiant_* 10:22, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. I'm not sure how much more objective you can get: "Do they have exactly one hit, or not?" However, it probably does belong in a list. -Kbdank71 14:49, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • The definition of a hit is rather arbitrary and subjective. --SPUI (talk) 03:47, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • There is a $417load of one hit wonders in this whole whopping world! I think we should keep it. --TheSamurai 03:43, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, ambiguous and not universal (eg pop stars who are one-hit wonders in the US but megastars in the UK). -Sean Curtin 03:58, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Postdlf 05:11, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Better dealt with in lists. -- Lochaber 09:15, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
