I've heard that argument but frankly I don't know why people are so pessimistic. A simple guideline or a note on the page of certain categories would say: actors that have only secondary roles or were guest stars in the series should be categorized with the "minor" option. Why do people always assume that edit-warring is inevitable? Pascal.Tesson 08:07, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Some of the comments above say that lists are harder to maintain than categories. I think lists are easier to maintain. If I want to add a bunch of actors who appeared on a telelvision show, when in list format, I can do all my editing in one place. In category format, however, I would have to edit the articles of each person I am adding to the category. Q0 22:51, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think that's a great and correct point - so here's the counter argument. Because Lists are so easy to add to, they are more fallable to poor maintenance - why stick it in alphabetic order, why not just stick it where you feel at that moment? Most of us here in this debate have 1000+ edits experience - these types of lists will be attractive to mainly non-registered editors. Putting that point aside, the second problem is that you can add anything to a list - so what happens if the second unit directors niece has a walk on by part to pay her college dues: do we list her? In a list we clearly can (but I didn't think that was the point of Wiki to be the ultimate source of everything); where as who is going to write her a bio page just to put her on a category - and even if they do, the bots will pick up a poor/small/unlinked bio. I can see where this proposer is trying to get at - some Bio's do look more like lists of categories than Bio's. However, its the practicalities of maintenance that worry me in such a "youth-fan(atic)" dominated area. I think this has been a great debate, but its brought up some issues which are outside the bounds of a simple "keep/delete" page debate. Best Rgds, - Trident13 00:05, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: If we do end up keeping them, a few of them need to go through the renaming process so they all follow the same format ("actors" vs "cast" vs "cast members", etc). --- RockMFR 05:53, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, since this is a category that will never contain more than perhaps seven articles: way too small. It would be a better idea to later create a (sub)category for "Australian elapids", which would include all articles related to Australian venomous snakes. --Jwinius 13:44, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I fail to see how 7 is too small. If you look at the categories under WikiProject ships, they have way smaller categories. 70.51.10.94 04:13, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • While I agree that in general "film" is preferred, I think in this case "Monster movies" might be the more common term? (Probably due to alliteration.) - jc37 21:42, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Granted, it is the vernacular but a glaring exception if you wander around Category:Films by genre. Mallanox 23:39, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I agree (as I mentioned above). Though I don't know if exceptions are "bad" in this case. Perhaps we should CfR this one? - jc37 09:29, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
If you have a look at my talk page, even the creator of the cat thinks it would be better changed. By all means, change to CfR if you wish. Mallanox 22:59, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I have to say that I agree with the alliteration comment. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 04:39, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
