Category talk:Names

A category called "names" should not be subdefined as being for "other" names. As I've said elsewhere on this wiki: Other than what? "Other names" means nothing as a wiki page or the definition of one, in contrast to a written work where "other" means everything that isn't listed above. Here there's no "above".

The category should do one of the following:
 * Include all names
 * Be renamed to something meaningful and unambiguous

Maybe it should have no articles but have subcategories for place names (which be further subdivided into settlement names, district names, battle names, landform feature names, etc), personal names, family names, object names, and so on. Then it may become more obvious how to categorize whatever names are currently thought of as "other".
