I'm not sure knights would qualify as military. <p>Ok, let me recap all suggestions so far: </p>

• Category:Fairy Tales Villains: Merge into Category:Fantasy Villains.
• Category:Copycats, Category:Frauds and Category:Robotic Counterpart: Merge all into a single category titled Impostors.
• Category:Fascists: Merge into Category:Oppressors.
• Category:Villainesses: Rename to Females.
• Category:War Criminals: Merge into Category:Terrorists.
• Category:Soldiers: Merge into Category:Military Villains.

</div> <p>With all due respect, I think Fasicists category needs to be kept, like Nazis. It is a specific type, and unlike Communism (which is not considered villainous in China, etc), Fasicism is a major political crime considered nearly all over the world. Therefore, it is better to seperate it from Oppressors and keep it as a subcategory, I believe. </p><p>Others are OK. </p>

<p>Knights are also a title outside the military, modern knights.. like Sir "Mad"Jaspers and a few others.. it is only military rank in medieval settings that follow our real-world history.. most other settings it is mostly a title or position. </p>

So how do you deal with something that varies given the setting?

<p>the "evil knight" is a well-enough known archetype that it can stay as its own category.. it also makes it much simpler, since it can mean both a military rank or a simple title.. if we really, really want to get rid of it the best would be Aristocrats (for those who are of "noble" rank (barons, lords, knights, counts etc) - without being Monarchy (kings, queens, emperors, princes, princesses etc) ). </p>

<p>OK; that makes sense. I agree. </p>

<p>I'd like to know the user's stance on categories for crossovers like Category:Marvel vs Capcom villains and the like, because I'm all for terminating them. </p>

Ok. I have another idea. Do you remember "Arena Masters"? Don't you think it could be cleaned and merged into "Barbarians"? If you think it looks like redundant with it.

<p>Arena Masters seems like it's own thing. Besides then we would need to put every villainous version of a Caesar down as a Barbarian, wouldn't we? </p>

<p>Well, I suggested it because, maybe I was wrong, but a show based on a slaughter is certainly one of the most barbaric who could do. </p>

I agree it is barbaric and something needs to be done.
