Category talk:Possibly fictional people from Europe

@Johnpacklambert: "People whose existence is disputed" seems correct to me, but not "possibly fictional people". I just noticed your addition of Merogais, but he his certainly not a fiction. He may be a mistake and thus nonhistorical, but not a fiction. I suspect there are many others here. Srnec (talk) 21:05, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If he is not real, he is fictional. I am not too stuck on any form of the name. We do however have a lot of people who are in categories meant for real people whose reality is not clear. If they are not real, they are fictional. At least that is how I use fictional. The parent category is too large, and we had way too many people in pirates categories who did not belong there. It is also not well applied in some cases.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:52, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- If he is not real, he is fictional. That is not how I understand the word 'fictional'. Wiktionary defines it as "invented, as opposed to real", which sounds right to me. But Merogais, for example, would not be a product of invention even if unreal. Srnec (talk) 04:37, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  @Johnpacklambert Why you didn't just use the parent category name? ^SMason_Garrison 04:18, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
