I think you gave me the go ahead?

All those considerations are essential, if not subjective. I certainly didn't rush into this decision. I am relatively new, but the admin who are familiar with me will tell you I don't rush into things and always ask first. I want to adhere to, not only the rules, but the personal preferences of the respective admin and their respective specialities. My focus so far is small but thorough. I live by citations. I add relevant examples and citations to all the categories I add. See: Etrigan and Jason Blood. I will make existing categories work when I can, labelling generic categories with more specific titles or writing non-linked subjects that are too esoteric to warrant the creation of their own category.

Prevalence: Of the 10 examples I gave, each existing in various universes, plus potentially many characters I've never even heard of, there are categories with less.

Reference: As the following point regards "reference" as, sourcing, citation and credentials. The definition of reference in this case is depiction, mention, allusion, inference, deduction, assumption. (There are a lot of synonyms). While not all characters will be sitting full lotus around burning incense, meditation is a far more defined skill than the subjective. (I personally find Superman as charismatic as a block of wood.) It's a more interesting and 'useful' skill than or. And it is actually a skill, unlike ?

Sourcing: I can cite two separate occasions for Jason Blood off the top on my head, know where to find examples for Fate and Zatanna, and I'm sure people can source genuine depictions from many others, I think I just thought of one for Lilith.

If you agree with my pitch, I look forward to making it.
