Category talk:Antennas (radio)

Why?
Why should there be such a category as "Antennas (radio)", when its parent category "Antennas" isn't about anything else and has a simpler name? Jim.henderson 06:07, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Why should there be an article Antenna (radio) ? --ssd (talk) 15:32, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The Antenna disambiguator is useful because the word "antenna" is used for a number of things, including Antennae galaxies, which are not antennas and are correctly not included in category:Antennas. The more simply named category should include all articles about any kind of antenna, including the fictional antennae of My Favorite Martian and the Andorrans, unless those articles become too numerous for one category to handle easily.

I think you missed my point. I think there should this category should be Antennas(radio) for the same reason that the article Antenna(radio) exists. I'm not so sure that everything with the word "antenna" in it should be in Category:Antennas or even that the category should exist. --ssd (talk) 23:00, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, the article Antenna is a disambiguator, because several things that are called antennas aren't antennas. Since the disambiguator takes this simple title, the radio article needs the more complex title.  The category, however, is not ambiguous, which is why antenna galaxy is in the antenna article but not in the antenna cat.  Should every thing that has the word "antenna" go into the category?  No, merely the Wikipedia articles that are about antennas.
 * Just compare the contents of the categories. Any article that's in one of them could just as easily fit into the other, right?  Is there even one counterexample?  No, as far as I see, every article now found in the subcategory should move to the more simply named cat, and the more complexly named one should disappear.

 * There was a vote on this. There was no consensus.  There's no point discussing it here.  If you care, bring it up for another vote.  --ssd (talk) 02:14, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
