:The talk page of the main page is probably not the best place to post a merger request, as it's not visited with great frequency. What you want to do is add {{tl|merge}} to the top of whatever page you think should be merged. As to the specific request, well, I dunno. Generally speaking, we say that a category is useful so long as it's holding at least three pages. There are at least three in each of these categories, so they're pretty useful. Another reason for the separation has to do with an unseen template on the page that helps with sorting. Individual musicians would take {{tl|NameSort}}, which automatically sorts by last name. Groups would generally talk {{tl|TitleSort}}, which sorts by the first word which isn't an article. If we had the group, I dunno, The Four Horsemen, {{tl|NameSort}} would sort under the letter "H", which would be wrong. {{tl|TitleSort}} would sort by the letter "F", which would be correct. If you mixed musicians with groups, you wouldn't be able to automatically apply and maintain these sorting templates. Boring reason, I know, but there ''is'' a rationale present. Also, if the categories currently look skimpy, you shouldn't believe they will ''always'' be skimpy. As new musicians are encountered, they're added. Both categories ''will'' grow as we scour the thousands and thousands of ''Doctor Who'' stories. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">11:54:43 Fri 16 Sep 2011 </span> | |||
