We do have categories for [[Time Lord]]s, so a category for stories including Time Lords doesn't seem to violate [[Tardis:Category naming conventions]]?

Proposed deletion

You will probably not find another admin who wants to remove unnecessary categories more than I do, but I'd like to know the reasoning behind this proposed deletion. We do have categories for Time Lords, so a category for stories including Time Lords doesn't seem to violate Tardis:Category naming conventions? Shambala108 15:34, October 27, 2019 (UTC)

It's ambiguous as to what stories are included as obviously not every story featuring Time Lords are present, the Doctor, the Master etc are excluded. Category:Time Lord television stories states "This category is for episodes which involve the society of Time Lords. Appearances of individual Time Lords such as the Doctor, Romana, Susan Foreman, the Master, or the Rani are not sufficient for inclusion."
But then look at the contents: Terror of the Autons features a single recurring Time Lord while The Twin Dilemma features a named Time Lord who has other appearances. I expect the situation is the same with other media. If not a deletion, then there needs to be a much stricter definition on what stories are allowed. --Borisashton 16:19, October 27, 2019 (UTC)
