Mythological giants vs. people with gigantism
I'm noticing a lot of overlapping terminology between the two categories. Two examples: currently contains both legendary (Cormoran, Jack-in-Irons) and historical/medical (John Middleton (giant)), while the similarly named  only contains a person with gigantism (Charles Byrne (giant)). How do we want to go about untangling and disambiguating these two categories? For my part, I think the best approach would be to use "___ giants" (Norse giants, English giants, Greek giants) for subcategories of the legendary/mythological giant, and "___ people with gigantism" (English people with gigantism, Irish people with gigantism) for subcategories of the medical condition.

Going back to the to examples: John Middleton would be removed from and Charles Byrne from  (they're already in the root  anyway),  would be removed from  and, placed in  and , and populated with legendary giants ( could be moved into it, for a start). doesn't seem to be populated enough to warrant subcategories, but if it ever does get to that state, John Middleton could be moved to and Charles Byrne to.

Does this seem like a reasonable way to go about cleaning things up? Pfhreak (talk) 16:18, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
