Category talk:Male Characters

Males
Shouldn't it be renamed males ? .. as Pirate captains, Slaves ,etc ?

Bump. This category (and female) is inconsistent with most of our other ones.

It's fine. One single letter is not worth the irritation of having to create a new category and replace it on every page. 02:33, October 22, 2013 (UTC)

It can be done with a bot, so it's hardly an irritation. 02:34, October 22, 2013 (UTC)

I agree with renaming it. 03:29, October 22, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, if a bot does it, I don't have a problem with both categories being renamed. But that's only if a bot does it. 13:01, October 22, 2013 (UTC)

Males is better, use a bot. 13:14, October 22, 2013 (UTC)

No, no, no. Male is definitely better.... 14:12, October 22, 2013 (UTC)

How? 14:14, October 22, 2013 (UTC)

All other categories are plural, Staw. 14:20, October 22, 2013 (UTC)

Plural.--

Every other category we have which describes the character is a plural. Keep in consistency. 14:50, October 22, 2013 (UTC)

I'll have to go with Staw here. I don't agree with plural grammar-wise. Now, I don't know exactly how to explain it in english, but here it goes. Unlike other categories, this one has an epithet as a title, instead of a noun. Male is a word that characterises the objective of the sentence. If you want so bad to have plural, then you can use "Male Characters" as a title. The word "males" is just a bad, bad word for me..

What Vaz said. 16:05, October 22, 2013 (UTC)

Male Characters works. 16:55, October 22, 2013 (UTC)

Grammar is why I was against changing all the other categories to plural in the first place. SeaTerror (talk) 18:44, October 22, 2013 (UTC)

The category name is just fine as it is. No need to change it just for the sake of editing. 18:44, October 22, 2013 (UTC)

It can be done by a bot Staw, so nobody is gaining anything. 18:45, October 22, 2013 (UTC)

Grammar is the reason not to change it. SeaTerror (talk) 19:11, October 22, 2013 (UTC)

Male Characters is correct. 19:20, October 22, 2013 (UTC)

It's fine as is. 19:25, October 22, 2013 (UTC)

Most of the people here don't seem to think that. 19:32, October 22, 2013 (UTC)

Looks like a three way poll to me. All options are almost equally rooted for.

What we have is just as acceptable as the ideas proposed. The way I see it Roa just wants this so he can give his bot a workout. Don't fix what isn't broken. 19:38, October 22, 2013 (UTC)

I love all the tiny details that cause a debate. 19:58, October 22, 2013 (UTC)

Don't assume DP. Roa might want to do it to make things consistent. Anyways, yeah, gonna have to poll it I guess. 20:06, October 22, 2013 (UTC)

There's no need to poll anything. Changing it would just be the pot calling the kettle black. 20:19, October 22, 2013 (UTC)
