Alright, I'd like to pose an honest question to you here; should the Knight of Cerebus category be deleted?

Yes, I understand that it's a massive category and it's a relevant and unique villain trope, but the problem is that the category is very ill-defined here. People seem to think that KoC just means "a dark villain" or is just another term for Complete Monster. And unlike CM, which has very clearly-ruled out guidelines, the guidelines for KoC seem a lot more vague than the ones for CM. I've barely seen anybody use the category right; the category's easy-to-misintepret nature coupled with some of the worst misuse I've ever seen on a category and the fact that it's a TV Tropes term (which presents a problem of its own in that people seem to be way to willing to add the category just because TV Tropes lists them), which this site needs to distance away from, makes me think the category's a lot more troublesome than it's worth. And unlike the Monster category, I rarely if ever see people aside from you and me take active measures to prevent the abuse.

Thoughts on this?
