Forum:Redundant Colony Categories
If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.
I've been looking through the Human colonies and Earth colonies and I don't think we need both.
- For Earth colonies one group (the New Earth Republic planets) and four planets (New Memphis, New Earth, Morestra and Chosan) were definitely colonies from Earth, which is the point of the category. The rest were just described as human planets, colonies from the Earth Empire or Earth colonies without specifying that the colonists were definately from Earth. Also, the Ood Sphere wasn't really a colony and Dalek-Human War isn't a planet at all, but I'll clean that up later no matter the outcome.
- For Human colonies, four planets (Tarron, Refusis II, Proxima 2, New Jupiter) were specifically said to been colonised from Earth, which is against the point of the category. The rest were just described as human planets, colonies from the Earth Empire or Earth colonies without specifying where the colonists were from originally.
This would suggest to me that the distinction between Earth colonies and human colonies isn't important either to the makers of Doctor Who (who presumably just have a planet with humans and not worry about where they were from originally) or to the editors of this wiki (who presumably just use the auto-complete feature or the search engine and use whichever colony category they find first). Since the point of the category is that the colony was made by humans, I suggest that we should just remove the Earth colonies category and move the pages to the Human colonies category. So, does anyone have any objections before I start? -<Azes13 04:10, August 16, 2011 (UTC)
