Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Tentacles/tentacle monsters in fiction

A tag has been placed on Category:Tentacles/tentacle monsters in fiction indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 04:46, 26 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please learn more about how categories work before creating any

You say you are a "noob"; creating categories is not something a new user should be doing on Wikipedia. Wikipedia:WikiProject_Categories is a good place to learn about them and specifically learn about where work is needed. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 14:21, 26 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring

Per WP:3RR, reverting someone in an article more than 3 times in 24 hours is a definite sign of edit warring and is worthy of being blocked. If someone is to revert you and you revert them again within this day, you are likely to be blocked from editing temporarily. This is not a threat but a simple warning as I expect you'll follow this policy and engage in cordial discussion rather than repeated reverts. Tarlby ^{(t) (c)} 04:39, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, but at the same time, reverting an edit that is easily confirmed is waring behavior too. This is easily verified stuff. I will keep my edit as it is, and hope you will too. I will not remove the wiki, I will leave that up to others more qualified. ConanHighwoods (talk) 04:49, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, but at the same time, reverting an edit that is easily confirmed is waring behavior too. That is not true. Edit warring is clearly defined in WP:WAR. Content on Wikipedia is verified when it is sourced to a reliable source, not through original research, so it is justified by policy for me to revert you. I suggest then though you should be WP:BOLD, you should actually take a step back and learn how your edits violate policy rather than refusing to accept someone's advice.

I will drop this soon as a war/block/ban over a tag would be stupid, but I am curious why is it you want 'solid proof' of this game having tentacle monsters but are fine with "Predators range from camouflaged carnivorous plants to vultures and Komodo dragon-like lizards...". None of those have citations...not that they need them as their presence in the game can easily be confirmed. If you do not accept citations from the official wiki...then where would you get info on it? ConanHighwoods (talk) ConanHighwoods (talk) 05:10, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You can look at the citations covered throughout the article. Reliable sources include reviews from video game journalists listed at WP:VGRS. That claim is cited in the next sentence. They cover those two sentences. Tarlby ^{(t) (c)} 05:13, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

November 2025

Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Rosario + Vampire, please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines. The category being added must already exist, and must be supported by the article's verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. Thank you.

Okuto Kotsubo (小壷奥人, Kotsubo Okuto) is the physical education teacher. Like Ginei, he has a perverted interest in the girls; he restrains himself, but hates that they "develop way too fast".[S1 ep 7] When Mizore confesses her attraction to him, he tries to take advantage of her but gets frozen and has her suspended. He pins the injuries of two students on Mizore to have her expelled and then tries to kill her by transforming into a kraken.[S1 v5] In the anime, Mizore does not have feelings for Kotsubo, but he takes advantage of her when she cries over Tsukune;[S1 ep 7] He is voiced by Yasuyuki Kase in the Japanese anime, and by Christopher Sabat in the English dub.[S1 ep 7]

He is a kraken, hence he is a tentacle monster. He tried to kill a MC, so is significant enough to receive a tag.

But what part of "backed up in the same article" don't you understand? What you're mentioning is something that's in the article about characters in the series, not in the article about the series itself. WP:CATDEF clearly states: Articles should normally be included in the categories that are most closely related to the subject's defining characteristics. Categories should not group subjects by trivial characteristics that have little relevance to the topics, unless it can be shown that such a characteristic or grouping is notable. If a reader unfamiliar with the series reads the article and sees no mention of tentacles in the body of the article, they might wonder why it is included in the category you insist on adding. Therefore, it is not a defining category of the series and should not be included. Categories are not added solely because of specific events that occur in a work.
