Category talk:Doctor Who (N-Space) fans

Frivolous Category?
Policy is not to over-categorise with frivolous categories, which I think categories for people who like specific media is. -- Saxon (✉️) 21:52, October 4, 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm going off the precedent set by Category:Professor X fans, Category:Doctor Who (N-Space) crew, Category:Doctor Who (N-Space) cast, etc. Epsilon  (Contact me) 21:55, October 4, 2020 (UTC)
 * Given the unique status of Doctor Who (N-Space) within the Whoniverse and how interesting references to it tend to be, I don't think this can be considered frivolous. It's more about how certain people are interacting with a very interesting phenomena that's popped up in-universe. Najawin ☎  21:59, October 4, 2020 (UTC)
 * Surely they'll all be on the Doctor Who (N-Space) page, anyway. -- Saxon (✉️) 22:00, October 4, 2020 (UTC)
 * That can be said for literally hundreds of categories, e.g.: every entry in Category:Companions of the Doctor. Epsilon  (Contact me) 22:05, October 4, 2020 (UTC)

Library is an article in the style of listing off various libraries found in Category:Libraries and archives. It doesn't get all of them, and there's still the archive part of the category, but I attribute this to the article not being complete. Should we delete the category because the two pages handle it properly? Or, rather, handle it properly were they to be filled out properly? Najawin ☎  22:09, October 4, 2020 (UTC)
 * I've gone ahead and made a discussion which I'm afraid I don't know how to link to because of the changes to the forums since my complaint isn't related solely to this page. -- Saxon (✉️) 22:13, October 4, 2020 (UTC)

That thread's not going to get off the ground until we resolve the forum issues. Najawin ☎  22:15, October 4, 2020 (UTC)
 * There are many companions and many libraries. It is quite different to categorise people based on what television shows and books they read. -- Saxon (✉️) 22:21, October 4, 2020 (UTC)
 * Speaking of "frivolous" categories, we have a category for residents of Bannerman Road, but we're not going to delete that, are we? Like Najawin said above, it's a unique thing, and should be documented. Epsilon  (Contact me) 22:25, October 4, 2020 (UTC)
 * Documented, yes. However, I don't think whether or not a character has watched Professor X, Doctor Who or Iris Wildthyme deserves a category. Should we also create ones for fans of Eastenders, Star Wars and Scooby-Doo? -- Saxon (✉️) 22:28, October 4, 2020 (UTC)

Ah, but but we have a category for Scooby-Doo fans. Joking aside, the difference is the interesting meta-textual place the things we're talking about live inside of within the DWU. Something that doesn't apply to the things you're mentioning. Najawin ☎  22:31, October 4, 2020 (UTC)
