Category talk:Subject:English language

Merge proposal
I've proposed that suggested that be merged into Category:English language. They seem to describe mostly the same thing. I favor English language as it's clearer.

Note that appropriate articles in will have to be edited individually to move to this category. If that category page is then empty, it should be either deleted, or if we're worried about people linking to it when they create pages, it could be made the parent category of Category:English language and Category:English literature; it should then be checked regularly and articles recategorized as appropriate.

Arguably there should be other categories - Category:English as an additional language as a subcat of this one, though it may be hard to decide which category some pages belong in, which are suitable for younger native speakers and also for speakers of other languages.

Category:English literature might be needed, and should be referenced from here in a top dab (disambiguation) for people who've come to the wrong place. --Singkong2005 08:47, 2 August 2006 (UTC)


 * The standard convention is to name a book's category after its title. I think should be used for the English book and the other English books (English as an Additional Language, Business English) should either go here or into their own categories. --hagindaz 03:50, 3 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Ah, thanks for the explanation. In that case, I s'pose Category:English as an Additional Language is the way to go - and there's no ambiguity. It can still be made a subcategory of, or linked from that category page - I don't see any reason against it, and it could help people find the right page. --Singkong2005 10:57, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
