Group of students at Place Cachée[]
Completely unnecessary. Everyone listed already has their own articles, and this isn't a clique or group — it's just mashing students around the park together for some reason. The page even makes it seem like this is a group. If a wiki viewer wants to find a list of students in the park, it can be found in the WWHP article. - Peregino (talk) 06:14, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- It seems to just be a way of keeping a clear list of all the various students who could possibly form the trio at the park on any given day. Can you think of a better way of doing so? - MrSiriusBlack Talk 12:17, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- Two solid methods:
- Turn the page into a simple disambiguation, listing all students involved in the exchange programme and the park characters, with a note that groups of three — each from a different school — could form a trio.
- Remove the page entirely and instead add in the existing WWHP article (this section) with the same explanation about a trio formation.
- Either approach is valid. - Peregino (talk) 12:37, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- Two solid methods:
- I did wonder about the WWHP page. That could be a good approach. Cheers - MrSiriusBlack Talk 12:40, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose: it's a useful hub page and does no harm. Castlemore (talk) 23:26, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
Jobs in the wizarding world[]
This article is missing a large amount of information, and attempting to add it all isn't really worthwhile, since this article isn't likely to be commonly searched and all relevant information is already included in Category:Jobs and its subcategories and articles. - Peregino (talk) 11:37, 5 September 2025 (UTC)
- Opposed. So is information about quite a few characters' roles in Harry Potter: Magic Awakened from their articles, and we don't delete those. I think we should have it for the same reason we have "wizarding school". A place to have all jobs in the magical world in one place and defer to relevant articles if the wiki readers wants more details. What is missing? Ninclow (talk) 16:13, 5 September 2025 (UTC)
- Opposed. I myself have found the Job list page very helpful in the past, and navigating it is, in my opinion, a bit less of a hassle than navigating the Category pages.(GoldenOath20 (talk) 11:03, 21 October 2025 (UTC))
Health, Opinion, and other Daily Prophet segments[]
First of all, I may ask: why were these pages created in the first place? Because of some images? They are really short and have no information other than it being a Daily Prophet segment and what page of the periodical it was on. Secondly, why do we need these pages? The answer is, well… we don’t. What is the purpose of these pages? The only reason to keep them is if we had any other information about that specific segment, which currently, we don’t. I’d say that we should delete these pages unless there is any new information about a specific segment, then we can keep them. - RIPqa2017 (talk) 23:09, 5 September 2025 (UTC)
Not done. It is a canonical subject and is worth its own article. A lack of information means more should be added, not removed. - Peregino (talk) 23:16, 5 September 2025 (UTC)
Aiden Garrett Wilkins[]
I just accidentally created this redirect, could you please delete it? Now it is a blank page because I meant to create it from the other page "Aidan Garrett Wilkins" (typo) Thanks - RIPqa2017 (talk) 11:14, 6 September 2025 (UTC)
Done - MrSiriusBlack Talk 11:24, 6 September 2025 (UTC)
Articles in Category:Big name fans[]
They may be famous or important figures, but at the end of the day, they hold no relevance to the franchise itself. From the franchise's perspective, they are only fans, just like any others. - Peregino (talk) 04:03, 28 September 2025 (UTC)
- Bump. I will proceed with deleting them in one week if there are no objections. - Peregino (talk) 11:28, 21 October 2025 (UTC)
Earth (element)[]
Firstly, the idea of 'elements' is not supported in Harry Potter. I notice that the fire and water pages have an unsupported, unreferenced statement that "Fire was one of the four basic elements, along with ..." (etc) - these should ideally be deleted. There is no reason to believe that Harry Potter has any care about 'the elements', and the 'elements' have not been mentioned in canon to my knowledge. If they are then these statements should be supported.
But also less canon-focused and more just practically: on the whole, this article basically states the same things as Earth and could be mostly migrated there
Side note: yes, I am aware Earth magic exists. To me, it just seems like this is spells relating to the earth, the same way we have fire-related spells and then offensive and defensive spells. It does not seem like there is a credible reason to ultimately speculate that "elements" (in the traditional fantasy sense) exist or have any formal classification in this universe based on that. Unless there is credible in-universe evidence that says "elements" exist we should stay away from this entire phrasing. (Note that elements are a highly used and loaded phrase in fantasy games/literature Castlemore (talk) 10:33, 21 October 2025 (UTC)
- The four basic elements are a part of Alchemy, and the four Hogwarts Houses roughly correspond to the four elements.
- And just to put it out there, I did try putting this stuff on the Earth page, but it got deleted because that page was about the planet, not the element. So I took things in a different direction and created the Earth (element) page.
- I was planning to do the same thing with the air element, but I'll hold off until this discussion is settled.(GoldenOath20 (talk) 10:50, 21 October 2025 (UTC))
- The elements of fire, water, earth, and air have been, as GO20 said, an established concept on the wiki and in the Potter universe, as per this link (paragraph 2). Therefore, since the concept is canonically a thing (and unless it lacks encyclopedic value, which hasn't been defined at this point), I'd say the subjects does deserve an article.
- However, I disagree with how the article represents the term "earth". As defined by the only canonical source about it, earth is the element, and the article should define it as one of the elements, not as a general term that describes earth-related concepts while also referring to an element.
- Earth-related spells, different kinds of rocks and ores, mountains, Herbology, and other topics that are not directly about the element of earth should not be included. A simple description of Earth, the concept that it is one of the four elements, and the canonical fact that it connects to Hufflepuff would be sufficient and most appropriate. - Peregino (talk) 11:10, 21 October 2025 (UTC)
- There are support for the four elements actually. J.K. Rowling stated that the four Hogwarts houses correspond to the four classical elements in a 2005 interview with MuggleNet and The Leaky Cauldron, where she mentioned: “It is the tradition to have four houses, but in this case, I wanted them to correspond roughly to the four elements. So Gryffindor is fire, Ravenclaw is air, Hufflepuff is earth, and Slytherin is water; hence the fact that their common room is under the lake. So again, it was this idea of harmony and balance, that you had four necessary components and by integrating them you would make a very strong place. But they remain fragmented, as we know”. Additionally, in From the Wizarding Archive (Volume 1), she also noted that's where the house colors comes from: “The four Hogwarts houses have a loose association with the four elements, and their colours were chosen accordingly. Gryffindor (red and gold) is connected to fire; Slytherin (green and silver) to water; Hufflepuff (yellow and black, representing wheat and soil) to earth; and Ravenclaw (blue and bronze; sky and eagle feathers) to air.”. And as a fellow player of Hogwarts Legacy - you might remember what the Field Guide page on "Alchemy Class" said?
- I see what you mean about the "Fire" and "Earth" articles overlapping. Since there is canonical support for the four elements, it might make sense to tighten up the articles so each one focuses on its own element and avoids repeating the same information. That keeps things organized without excessive overlap, and each page can stand on its own. Ninclow (talk) 11:22, 21 October 2025 (UTC)
Regarding how the Earth (element) page describing general earth related concepts: I tried to use the Fire and Water pages as a guideline; fire is described as "the large amount of heat, light, and energy created by the rapid oxidation of a material", and water is described as "a colourless, odourless molecule consisting of two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen". I tried to do something similar to those for the sake of consistency.
I'm not trying to be defencive here. I'm just explaining what I was going for. If you think there a way it could be better, then by all means edit it. I just want the page itself to exist.(GoldenOath20 (talk) 11:53, 21 October 2025 (UTC))
- Thanks for providing evidence.
- The reason I did not think elements existed was because they were not mentioned in the books, films, or games.
- IMO, a reasonable person would not be expected to know about this WW article. WW is really not common knowledge and this should have been adequately referenced, instead of being left as unreferenced information.
- Likewise, GoldenOath should have added more references to the Earth (element) article.
- It might also be wise to create an 'Elements' hub page instead of separating everything into rather haphazard and poorly referenced articles. Castlemore (talk) 12:05, 21 October 2025 (UTC)
- With further knowledge, I have removed the delete tag and created more references. Please may we start actually citing this information instead of assuming that everyone should have 100% knowledge of obscure WW pages. Castlemore (talk) 12:08, 21 October 2025 (UTC)
Corrupted goblin[]
This article does not appear to be supported by canon. Where are you deriving the term/concept of "corrupted goblins" from? Castlemore (talk) 11:57, 3 November 2025 (UTC)
