How do we want to categorize this article? JordanBarrett (talk) 16:21, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Are multiple categorisations so bad? Wooster (talk) 16:42, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, maybe my comment was poorly written. Multiples are not bad, but I don't think we should have "methodism" for every methodist theologian, pastor, author, etc... Perhaps that's limiting, and I'm open to more discussion. A Methodist was the one who did that, an avid anti-Reformed fellow, and as such a I reverted the additional category.

Okay, I see. It mightn't be sooo bad to list Methodists as such, as long as we could agree how to do the same with other groups. I'd have said that, if we were going to have a "Methodism" category (as distinct from a "Methodists" category) then the Wesleys would certainly be important enough to go in there. But in any case, if that's not really necessary (and I can see how arguments on both sides could be advanced) then Wesley is probably an evangelist. Or perhaps a hymnist (which would be a whole new category). Biography is another option. Wooster (talk) 18:16, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
