Category talk:Mothers

Why
What is the purpose of this category, as well as Category:Fathers? I suggest we delete this. 19:06, November 25, 2016 (UTC)

To categorise moms and dads. 19:36, November 25, 2016 (UTC)

Is that really something worth categorizing? I mean what's next, are we going to start categorizing grandparents, aunts, uncles etc.? 19:42, November 25, 2016 (UTC)

They're really not needed. SeaTerror (talk) 22:02, November 25, 2016 (UTC)

I think it means a little more than the smokers category we have. I'd say it's worth it. With adopotive parents in a subcategory too. 03:35, November 27, 2016 (UTC)

People might want to know which characters had had kids before, idk. What harm does it cause, anyways? And no, any other relative is not worth categorising. 11:36, November 27, 2016 (UTC)

"And no, any other relative is not worth categorising." and why is that? What makes this worth and the others not? Imo, categories should be created if they are useful to us in order to organize artcles, so categories such this and smokers have no real purpose. That's because these kind of categories are used more like tags rather then categories.

Because any other relative cat would be so small that it would serve no purpose. What exactly is the clear cut border between tag and categories anyways? Sure it's not immediately relevant information, but is this subjective difference between tags and cats a reason to delete something that's not causing any harm anyways? 15:28, November 27, 2016 (UTC)

We can argue that the harm is "over-populating" the category section. Let's say I'll create the categories "People with black hair", "people with blue eyes", etc. See where I'm going? We can potentially create infinite categories, but that won't do any good. Generally a category on this wiki is represented by a page or follows a certain pattern (like all occupations). This one is a bit odd instead.

I agree with Levi. 21:22, November 27, 2016 (UTC)

Yes, this has to go. 21:31, November 27, 2016 (UTC)

Agreeing with Yata/Kage, this is unnecessary 21:36, November 27, 2016 (UTC)

So we can delete it then? 19:56, November 28, 2016 (UTC)

Seems like the majority is in agreement that this category and the father category should go, so go ahead and do it. 08:55, January 13, 2017 (UTC)
