I realy think that we really only need one of these to categories. It's a small group to begin with. No need for both. --evrik18:43, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Dominican nuns is for individual nuns, not for anything and everything applying to Dominican nuns. This is the case for every other category for monks and nuns, so I fail to see why there should be an exception here. It's a good idea to have some consistency. We commonly separate biographical articles from other articles in WP cats, since it's a useful division to make. It also makes the biographical cats easier to further categorise into the cats for people, into which tree this cat fits (or did before Evrik decided to remove categories). -- Necrothesp19:01, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think you're dividing the pie up too small. The words is itself plural. If nthis were a large category I might agree, but I doubt it will ever be big enough to worry about. --evrik15:12, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
If the cat is part of a larger categorisation system then it is acceptable to have small categories for consistency. It already has eight entries, which is larger than many other categories. Also, please do not delete categories which I have added just because there is discussion. Your version is not definitive unless there is some consensus for it to be so. Why have you deleted Category:Roman Catholic nuns? Are Dominican nuns not Roman Catholic nuns? -- Necrothesp15:18, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Categorizing them as you have is duplicative. The second category shouldn't even exist. That too is duplicative. --evrik15:33, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Why is it duplicative? Dominican nuns are a subcat of Roman Catholic nuns. They are also a subcat of Dominicans. No duplication there whatsoever. Which category shouldn't exist? This is all perfectly standard Wikipedia categorisation, which, with the greatest of respect, I'm not entirely sure that you understand. -- Necrothesp16:06, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
