Category talk:Traitors
A lil' bit too biased?
Surely "traitor" is a little too subjective for a category — one side's traitor is another's hero. I mean, just take a look at The Daleks' Master Plan. Here's a list of all the people that were called traitor in that serial (the ones that I caught, anyway):
- Zephon (self-applied)
- Bret Vyon (by Mavic Chen and Lizan, and later Sara Kingdom)
- Kert Gantry (by Chen and Lizan)
- Daxtar (by the Doctor and Bret Vyon)
- The entire TARDIS crew including Sara (by Chen)
- Mavic Chen (by Sara)
Practically the entire cast is at some point named a traitor by the opposing side!
Now. Let's see who in that whole list actually has the traitor category applied: of course, Daxtar and Chen. This is extremely biased towards the Doctor and his allies. Aren't we supposed to present an unbiased view of the DWU?
Let me quote a passage from T:CAT NAMES: "Above all else, category names must not be open to multiple interpretation, and must be free of any bias or value judgements."

The category has been deleted. Really, User:SOTO's post says it all, but for those who are interested, there was a similar case several years ago where we got rid of "enemy" and "ally" categories.
