Why is this redirect categorized? It creates the illusion, at least on the category page, that there are two individuals, when this is really just one. --Alan del Beccio 20:48, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I might be wrong, but I seem to recall that it was added because he is credited under this name (in addition to his proper one), and thus, someone might be looking in the category of writers (or wherever) for such a name. And logically (not that logic is always a good thing (tm), but still), all credited names should be in the category, even if they are redirects to an alternate name (such as J.G. Hertzler's aliases). -- Sulfur 20:57, 23 March 2007 (UTC)


 * That's exactly why. :) -- Renegade54 20:59, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Which again creates the illusion, at least on the category page, that there are two individuals. This does not appear to be standard wiki practice. --Alan del Beccio 21:06, 23 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, is our goal helping people to find information easily, or to provide an accurate count of individuals? Personally, I don't really care if the count is off. I view the category pages as a type of index. Or perhaps I'm in the minority in that view? -- Renegade54 21:16, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
