Categories should have more than 3 articles, any lower than this I think the articles can be categorised elsewhere. I'll note this somewhere on the MOS or layout guide (or elsewhere) if there's no issues with this. --Tangerineduel 14:31, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

In my experience of organising categories, I think the language should be:
At a minimum, categories should have 3 articles, the obvious potential for containing 3 articles in future, or another category.
There are enough times where the category tree demands that some categories be "bridges" to other categories that we should allow "container categories". And sometimes you create a category knowing that there probably are three things of that type out there, but you don't know what they are right off the bat.
