Overcategorization

edit

There's a lot of overlapping here. The Armenian monks, Belgian monks, Egyptian monks, Georgian monks, Greek monks, Mexican monks, Palestinian monks, Polish monks, Russian monks, Spanish monks, Swiss monks, Syrian monks, Ukrainian monks, all only have the subcategory (Nationality) Christian monks, and the Bhutanese monks, Burmese monks, Cambodian monks, Estonian monks, Japanese monks, Korean monks, Malaysian monks, Nepalese monks, Sri Lankan monks, Taiwanese monks, Thai monks, Vietnamese monks all only have the the subcatagory (Nationality) Buddhist monks. If there were any articles on Belgian Jainist monks, or on Korean Christian monks, then it would make sense to have a general Belgian monks or Korean monks category, but there aren't (as it is now, only seven or so, only a little more than a fifth). Why not just have Armenian monks redirect to Armenian Christian monks, and Japanese monks redirect to Japanese Buddhist monks, and so on? It's basically that way anyway, except that the redirect code isn't in there.
