Iconic Characters Additions

[Ogurtsow]

Well, then here are my suggestions:

Leopold the Cat: He's extremely recognisable by his catchphrase alone in most post-Soviet countries. Leopold is like the symbol of kindness, pacifism, friendship and other similar things in said area. I'm gonna assume he is as much a part of our media culture as Bugs Bunny and Scrooge McDuck are in the USA.

The Wolf: He has similar case with Leopold: he's also extremely recognisable by his catchphrase in most post-Soviet countries. Nu, pogodi! is similar with Tom & Jerry not only in terms of plot, but also in terms of popularity. The series became popular in the Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc. Not only that, but the Wolf also plays the same role as Tom does. Maybe the Hare should also have the Iconic Characters category, since both Tom and Jerry have it.

Geralt of Rivia: He became a significant part in Polish culture, and thanks to the games, his image became regonisable in various different parts of the world, making him iconic not only in Poland (with probably Czechia and Slovakia) itself.

Okay. It is near impossible for me to evaluate whether or not your estimations of their popularities, name recognition, and cultural impact are accurate though.

In addition, it seems like the staff are leaning towards getting rid of the category.

So, given that nobody can seem to agree what defines an iconic character, or which characters to include, would it be better to delete the category?

I think so. New users aren't really searching by categories anyways so it's not like they're negatively affected. If they want to see an iconic character they'll just look them up.

 

[Promestein]

Yeah, delete it.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. I will do so.

It is done.
