Talk:SixApart

Six Apart is a "people"? --Elfwreck 07:01, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

It's the breadcrumb trail -- People is the top-level category that Organizations & Corporations sits in. --Arduinna 07:11, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

I can imagine that becoming problematic in a couple of ways. First, there are some companies that have had an impact on fandom, that only by the thinnest interpretation are "people." (Disney Inc? Warner Brothers? Are Wikipedia and IMDB "organizations?" Are publishing houses?) Second, given that people are not listed by "real" names, a casual browser looking at the list of "people" and clicking on an interesting-sounding link might be rather dismayed to discover it's not a person, but a corporation.

Not saying, "it should get fixed." (Although I don't like the legal fiction of "corporate person," and don't like to support it, even indirectly.) But I do think it should be looked at for potential confusion problems later, when the wiki is bigger. Not sure there's any simple way to avoid that confusion, but knowing it's possible might make, for example, a suggestion to mention the fact that "this "person" is really a meme; it does not breathe" in the first paragraph. And people with non-peopleish names & activities might be mentioned as indeed being human (at least as far as anyone is willing to officially identify, otherkin ID notwithstanding).

I'm with Elfwreck on this one. I don't like classifying a corporate entity with a person, for one, and for two, there will likely be enough organizations/corporations to justify their own separate area. --Seperis 19:22, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

If a site no longer exists we document that. We do not erase the info or old links.
