We have the categories Category:Non-canonical companions and Category:Companions of non-canonical Doctors. Though their meanings can be taken as subtly different, the contents of the latter seem to me as though they'd fit perfectly into the former. Do you suppose we'd benefit from consolidating or nesting the categories, or should we keep them separate? Rob T Firefly 20:19, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

I've marked the latter to be deleted. Clearly, Cat:NCC is the better-named, better-placed and better-populated of the two. By placing Cat:CONCD within Cat:Non-Canonical Doctors, the implication is that they are a subset of Doctors. They're not. They're a subset of Cat:Non-canonical individuals, which is where we find Cat:NCC. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 05:10, April 21, 2010 (UTC)
