AVID:Requests for Comment/Removing Nicknames Section and Reconstructing Availability section

First thing I want to mention is the nicknames section. As I can tell, there are people that have different views on what nicknames are notable or not. As seen on the MGM Cartoons page, I made a nickname that I think would fit the 7th logo, but then some troll came in and removed most the more notable nicknames. The nicknames section is just the scare and cheesy factors all over again, even with the limitations now, that is not helping much.

As for the availability section, I would only suggest using the scale if notable enough to the sources its found on and not personal preferences. Walt Disney Pictures and Paramount Pictures are examples of this, as their scales on their logos (2nd logo for Walt Disney and 3rd logo from Paramount) would change constantly. The scale should still be in use but I want some limitations with it.

So yeah, I just wanted this to be a more reliable place even if a wiki, and by removing the nicknames section and remodifying the availability section, there should be less edit wars. BaldiBasicsFan (talk) 04:15, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Support

Support Agree with everything you said. For one, many of the nicknames here are made up (who uses "V-iA-COM" for the first Viacom logo, for example?). Official nicknames could go under "Trivia", and notable nicknames like "S from Hell" or "V of Doom" could fall under "Legacy". And yes, "Availability" needs an overhaul here. · Talk · Edits 07:40, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Support for the Availability part. We need to rewrite the scale in a way that makes sense and that people can agree on if a logo is "rare" or not. ifyoudarethenpizzait aka Compooper (talk) 11:39, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Support for the nicknames part: This is what I have been thinking about in the previous Nicknames RfC: too many of the nicknames appear to be made up on the spot, to a point where they have become useless. Genuine ones such, as the "S from Hell" and "V of Doom", should be noted in context instead. --Pingu (talk) 17:17, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Support I won't lie, I'll kind of miss the Nicknames section if we get rid of it, but it's honestly been misused for way too long and, at this rate, should probably be put out of its misery. So much of its usage from other editors has largely only been to do stuff like trying to insert snarky comments about certain logos, make comparisons to other logos that are either very trivial or most other people won't know or care about, were made solely to praise, bash, or insert other biased opinions on logos, or were completely made up by a random user on the spot, which completely defeats the intended purpose of the section. And don't even get me started on the abomination that is the majority of nicknames on our Southeast Asian logo pages... As for the Availability section, I definitely agree with the proposed idea for the Scale. HibiscusCrown20 (talk) 18:21, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Support in regards to both. To be real, I always thought the nicknames were childish. Also, cleaning up the availability section might help remove the constant "Don't expect this to appear on [X]" comments because another user said the line was unnecessary.

There could be cases where a company that produces for a show, its logo may not appear. While we could remove the constant "Don't expect this to appear on [X]" comments, we could also reword them as well. BaldiBasicsFan (talk) 22:52, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Support Virtually all nicknames are fan generated and not used in any frequency. Make the pages look informal. The availability scale could go, given how nearly all logos can be seen on-demand. --Shakla (talk) 15:02, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

Abstain

 Abstain for the Nicknames part. I'd like to see Trevor's idea get implemented, but for now I have no preference. See my comment about the nickname issue below. ifyoudarethenpizzait aka Compooper (talk) 11:36, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Comments

I removed the nicknames in MGM Cartoons. The nickname in question was "Tanner's Return", which, correct me if I'm wrong, seems like a nickname thought of on the spot, with the way you said "I thought would fit the logo". I go by the saying "if I haven't heard of the nickname to describe a logo, it's not well-known or notable." So, please don't call me a "troll" when I am simply doing what I believed was best for the page. This has been an issue on most pages.

To add to my comment I also remove nicknames that don't really make sense and just describe the elements of the logo (take "Gold MGM", "Blue Ribboning", "Leo Cardboard" or "Gene Deitch Lion" on MGM Cartoons, and "Disney Script" or "Smiling Mickey" in The Walt Disney Company for example). The point of nicknames (at least from my view) is to ONLY document the well-known nicknames of the logo, fan or official, and leave the nonsensical ones out.

Please feel free to check out AVID:Tutorial Guide for more information on this, where I wrote pretty much all of the new guidelines among some other people (including Nicknames). Thank you for reading, and please understand my view. ifyoudarethenpizzait aka Compooper (talk) 11:20, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

• You have interesting points on this issue, but I really don't want more edit wars and drama occurring. Removing the nicknames table might be the best option at this point. Besides, most nicknames are made by people, some are official but others are not. BaldiBasicsFan (talk) 14:22, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
