:The main reason I like this category is that it's within the spirit of the DWU.

:I think it also helps out with non-humanoid species because there are cases where things are given complicated or unusual names, but they aren't actually species names. For instance, [[Abzorbaloff]] isn't ''really'' a species name, [[Abzorbalovian]] being merely an adjective derived from the term the Tenth Doctor '''originated'''. It's useful to put this category on the Abzorbaloff page just as an added confirmation of the nature of the word ''Abzorbaloff''. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} | :I think it also helps out with non-humanoid species because there are cases where things are given complicated or unusual names, but they aren't actually species names.

:::I've removed the prop delete, but I still think the category should be moved, so it's more better named. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 14:55, March 8, 2012 (UTC) | :::I've removed the prop delete, but I still think the category should be moved, so it's more better named. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 14:55, March 8, 2012 (UTC) | ||
