Category talk:Presumed Deceased

[[Category:]]== Largo ==

could largo be added to the list? he and his crew were punched knock out into the sea and he himself is a devil fruit user

What about Bon Clay who picked a fight with Magellan. Bon Clay is a melee fighter, so even one hit would cause him to be poisoned

and Bellamy? Did Sarquis decapitate him?

Okay everyone, first of all, PLEASE sign your posts with ~. It's a notification in your editor for a reason. Second, Largo may be an acceptable person to add. But this is a Wiki. If you feel like anything can be added, please add it. About Bon Clay, he was seen alive in one of the chapter covers. Bellamy may also be a choice to add, but like I said before, you're free to add him. This isn't a textbook, it's a Wiki. You can add whatever you want. 01:33, December 18, 2012 (UTC)

You just replied to a message from 2010 Nada. 01:36, December 18, 2012 (UTC)

I can already see this category being abused once again, such as Shiki, Gasparde and Nero. I'd say, get rid of this category; if Kinemon's status is so important, then just leave it blank, just as we having trouble with Sabo's status for so long, just as Haruta's gender was undetermined until the databook came out, just as Doflamingo claiming Moriah to be dead for sure but turns out not. 10:21, December 18, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, that's the problem. The thing is, if we respect what I wrote in the category, there's no speculation involved. But people are already starting to speculate (Roshio is probably dead, Bellamy is probably dead…) It is not about probability. It is about what is believed in-universe—which is perfectly provable. No speculation. Kinemon is an example, Sabo was another one before we found a confirmation in Green. Roshio may work, since I believe people in Jaya were discussing his probable death. But for Bellamy, or Drip, we have neither any proof of their death nor any proof that they are believed to be dead, so they should stay out of both categories.

I hate the category. What you said is exactly what I said. Leave it blank unless absolutely confirmed. This category will just be abused by people who want certain characters dead. The wikia has a rule against speculation therefore this category should be gone. The policy should be this: only add characters to the list when absolutely confirmed but leave it alone when not. Oda's policy is "alive until proven otherwise" There are numerous examples you could see from that: Pell, Arlong, Bon Kurei, etc. SeaTerror (talk) 16:36, December 18, 2012 (UTC)
