Indeed, there are many archetypes. I am not saying that we should keep all of them, but the most notable and recognizable like Dark Lords or Mad Scientists, litterally more a stapple than a mere archetype should stay. Besides, I am less concerned by the fact they are iconic archetype, than by the fact that they fit little in the destination merge.

We are not doing ourselves a favour by keeping things as they are, I wholehearteldy agree, but as I say, since users already slap as many categories in pages, I fear that making categories too big and too broad would enable such a fallacious reasoning. A user able to reason "sounds the same, is the same" would be fully able to reason "yay it fits more" "X can do Y, he belong in Z"...

I would say we can restrict the number of cats without expanding too much the one we use in replacement. As I said, categories that are merged but do not fit can be axed. Since it is about doing ourselves a favour, we could be drastic, ax the problem categories and be done with it. It is sad to be pushed to such measures but it was done before with legit cats that went out of hand.
