Category talk:Half-shadow dragon drow

Is this category really necessary? I mean, are there enough articles that are specifically half-shadow dragon, half-drows that a category is required. I mean, if that's the case, than we might as well have half-red dragon, half-human and half-shadow dragon (without the drow) categories. I don't consider myself a deletionist but this seems like a pretty pointless category, seeing as it has only one article and doesn't seem likely to expand any time soon.

depends on, if someone wants to make more articles about members of the Jaezred Chaulssin. Many of them are half-shadow dragon drow, e.g. Antrysn Barriath, and all other Anointed Blades and Zekylyn (wich are about 44% of the free population in Chaulssin). Besides it is not the first category with so far only one entry, so what? If this characte is from this race, where would you put him in? Shadow-dragon, drow, or both? It is a subrace with its own stats, like every subrace else. Historicus 15:58, 11 December 2008 (UTC)


 * My point is that if we do this we might as well have a separate category for people like Zhai, who is a half-drow, half-elf. She's not a normal half-drow, nor is she a normal half-elf. She'd a half-drow, half-elf, an extremely rare subrace. At the moment, she's covered solely by placing her in both the half-elf and half-drow category. Similarly, most half-dragons aren't categorized as half-red or half-gold dragons.
 * Nor do we have a regular half-shadow dragon category or even shadow dragon category. Granted, there's a specific group of half-shadow dragon drow but if it's limited to one group than why not create a category for the Anointed Blades rather than a category with a similar purpose but broader (and mostly useless outside of the more specific) spectrum? I'm just wondering. I'm not going to make a big fuss over it. It just seems to me... unnecessary, as well as inconsistent with current methods of categorization.
 * If it were me, I'd create a category for the Anointed Blades and categorize its members as both half-dragons and half-drow, with a possible additional category for shadow dragons. However, I will grant that we have no set-in-stone policy for this sort of thing. Niirfa-sa 00:35, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Do what you want or must, I have only made the category, because the one who created the article in it, made none and did not sort the article into any category. Thought it would be best to sort him into a category what he really is, and that is his official race entry. He is a half-shadow dragon drow and that's it. He is not a drow, he is not a shadow dragon, the race entry is made half-shadow dragon drow. Besides that, all anointed blades are zekyl and all zekyl are of this type/subrace, all 100% of them are allways half-shadow dragon drow. That comes from how they were made, ah born. But where you want to sort it in, I do not care. This was only what I thought logical, since most characters are sorted for their race-entry. I do not know what Wizards gave as official race entry for this zhai, I have never heard of him/her, so do not know what would be logical there and I doesn't care about it.

 * We'll leave it for now, since there isn't an official policy. I don't feel strongly enough about it to unilaterally delete the category (which I can't do anyway). I just thought I'd bring it up, because it seemed like a semi-useless category to me. Niirfa-sa 21:34, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
