Category talk:Hobbit Families


 * ( first comment copied from another page)

... looking at Category:Hobbit Families, there appears to be no standard for the naming of family articles. The words "family" and "clan" appear irregularly, and whilst the singular is used for most of them, a couple (Fairbairns and Gardners) use plurals.--DrewMek 19:24, May 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * (Somebody, since the above was written, seems to have singularized where necessary.) My view about the page names would depend on what Tolkien wrote. If the Tooks are always "clan", our page should have that. But if Tolkien's usage for a particular family varied, best would be just the surname. -- Robin Patterson (Talk) 15:36, July 20, 2011 (UTC)
