Proposed name change[edit]

Per the naming conventions used in Category:Science fiction themes, this category should be called Category:Alien invasion in fiction. Viriditas (talk) 03:22, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldn't that be redundant? Of course that alien invasions are fictional, in the real world we have not found even a single alien living cell. Anyone, even the most illiterate people, is aware that there has never been any real "alien invasion", and that a grouping of such articles would be about fictional stories.

Naming conventions can be redundant, but redundancy is something we use to help the reader. An alien invasion can refer to at least four topics: a theme in science fiction; planetary defense; invasive species; and immigration. Viriditas (talk) 04:57, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
