Indiscriminate, no?

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments2 people in discussion

This is quite the category, all males in all literature through all the ages. I see Br'er Rabbit is there, and we have just one media file, "Rabbitpooh.jpg", so (whew) at least we have our Rabbit bases covered ... but they may breed ... Seriously guys, this category is massively WP:INDISCRIMINATE, combining rabbit and bear role models with Svengali, Tarzan, and Walter the Farting Dog (see for yourself). Something terribly wrong here, basically. Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:48, 27 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

There must be dozens of male characters in literature missing from the list. "You can help!" ;-) CAVincent (talk) 04:06, 29 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
