Composite Clown: The Fool we Make of Ourselves

This isn't about the validity of the profiles or memes, once again. This is about the fact that we shouldn't have random thought experiment composites flying around the Wiki. CH is pushing it as is, but CT is the epitome of what goes wrong when we allow these random composite profiles. We don't allow other real life thought experiment profiles or theological concepts, even if said concepts have more "character" behind them than the composites ever could.

I am still completely against leaving any composite thought experiment animals/plants around except maybe CH due to the popularity and pre-standing notion of such a being. That said, if CH sets a precedent that would allow for the other composites to exist, I am perfectly OK with deleting it too. It's better than setting up tons of arbitrary limiters on what can and can't be a composite page.
 
I think that the Composite Human should stay, and I don't really have an opinion about Combined Human.

The others need to go.
 
Could just keep around composite human and make a note either in the profile or the rules banning all other irl composites.
 
Nah, CH is a nice comparison point for if humanity would be able to beat a character, which is a useful thing to keep around, as well as it being an established vs debating concept. Even the intelligence stat, while high, isn't super ridiculous compared to other stuff fiction has come up with. The same can't be said for stuff like kilometers wide super dense masses of fungus flying by faster than light.
 
This is all ridiculous. This wiki is literally all thought experiments, you didn't realize that? Difference is that composite real-life profiles aren't made from complete make believe.

This still doesn't leave any justification whatsoever for deleting normal pages such as the Composite Spider, Ant, Cat or Canid.
 
The argument isn't that "Composite Tree became a meme". It's that "This is a site that indexes established characters and real life weapons/events. Not a random thought experiement that we ourselves made up out of nowhere".

Again I'm fine with a profile for an actual cat, ant, wolf, tiger, etc. Just not with a "composite" one.

Yes, it's thought experiments on characters from popular media, and a few things that exist in real life for comparison. It's not meant to document every thought experiment or fictional character we can come up with.

Composite/combined profiles have their own arbitrary rules created by us which we can change to change their power level (not true for fictional characters), and they aren't real (like things that exist in real life).
 
I never heard of that rule on this wiki before, though if that's true then yes it could count as that.

There's no harm done with it. It is just simply deleting things other people have created.
 
The plan isn't to outright delete it, it's to move it to other wikis with a broader scope. Either FC/OC wiki which allows original characters, and Joke Battles Wiki, which allows, well, a lot of stuff.
 
A established copyrighted character like Superman is not the same as a member of this site going "Hey wouldn't it be cool if we mixed all of these things into one" and making a profile on it.

Composite ___ is basically a fan character OC. That's what it really boils down to.

Like Agnaa said they will still be allowed on FC/OC and JBW. Just not here. Plus I will give anyone the coding to these pages, which I did for you. No one's pages are getting erased for good.
 
Then the combinations of all characters mut be removed too, right? Composite Link and all that. It's a combo of multiple renditions of a copyrighted character. It isn't the official version. So what is the proposition with him?
 
Yeah i think FC-OC Battles would be better than placing it in JBW.

It fits much more smoothly and fittingly. Not only that I'm kinda uncomfortable with the prospect of Composite Human sitting next to characters like infinitely above the concept of tiers and whatever since the very start.
 
Composite link is a thing so there's not like twelve link profiles on the site. Generally, composite fiction profiles aren't very common. What others exist besides link and Godzilla?

Last time I checked there were around a dozen or two. I know there's a composite of the monkeys in rhythm heaven, even though they basically have no feats.
 
Even if it is so Link is not so cluttered, that doesn't change the fact that it is a composite profile, which means it is a fan creation made by the wiki. It isn't the official versions Nintendo intended to put out, it is what we have made to make it easier. So does the rule being made here, no composites due to being fan creations, only apply to those made for reasons of fun?
 
It's only about composites of real life characters. To quote from the OP.

"Some have argued that they [real life composite profiles] should be allowed, as Fictional Character Composites are allowed, but the comparison is flawed and naive at best. Not only do we have limits and regulations for Fictional Composites, but they are also far easier to handle, as each character is bound to a specific setting with clearly defined feats and scaling. Meanwhile not only is Real Life not a clearly-defined setting, but there are absolutely no regulations to what is or isn't allowed, leading to absolutely ludicrous profiles that are more in-line with what is found in JokeBattlesWiki, like the Composite Tree."
 
Can we please stop talking about fictional composites? I told in the Original Post that this thread isn't about that.
 
Composite profiles are basically fictional characters from real world, I don't see why they shouldn't be here. And it's obvious that a Composite profile is bound to have contradictions. For example, is Composite Link alive or dead?
 
I will put my opinion here:

The ones that should stay:

  • Composite Human: Why? This concept is used everywhere and anywhere. Just look around you.
  • Composite Ant: Why? This concept is also used a lot ... making a page for every single ant around is going to be a nightmare.
Also, for those who wanna delete the composite fictional versions, then you are doing something wrong because they are used a lot too (Godzilla and Link for example). So we are shooting ourselves in the foot with a rocket launcher... and said rocket launcher has a David Crockett nuke in it!

Just read the OP, it addresses the differences.
 
@Numbersguy I don't think the standards of other boards should be our own. They do there thing we do ours. Ours is the most formal, at least as far as I'm aware.

Our job is to continue the OBD Wiki's legacy and inform other people on how to versus debate, so composite fictional chars are unavoidable, it's the elephant in the room that you can't ignore...

Anyway, that isn't the subject.
 
Again, we are not going to delete the profiles, just move them to FC/OC, if Promestein is fine with it.

Also, Combined Human is one of the most extreme thought experiments, so I do not think that we should keep it.
 
Okay, although personally I think that they fit the theme of FC/OC better.
 
I don't want mindless and increasingly inane composite pages to blot out original characters that people put time into developing on FCOC.
