The Magical Girl category on the wiki has attracted a couple people who want to do away with it, including one who doesn't know what a magical girl is so thinks it just means a teenaged female with a Magic origin, and another who seems to think that having it will inevitably lead to a million categories like "left-handed Norwegian redheads with mixed tech and magic powers". (Discussion here, for anyone interested.)
Anyway, in the course of the discussion, this comment was made, which I found absolutely hilarious:

I think "Magical Girl" is a valid category because it refers to a specific archetype which is a combination of more and more specific traits than female, teenager, and magic - the same way that "vampire" is more than combination of magic, undead, and oversexed.
