There are a surprising amount of Shakespeare characters referenced in Star Trek. Could we encompass them in their own category? It could include: Oberon, Nick Bottom, Titania, John Bates, Michael Williams, Brutus, Julius Caeser, Miranda, Prospero, and Hamlet (Prince). William Shakespeare 00:30, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

I think a Shakespeare category could be reasonable, since we have a Captain Proton category.--31dot 00:43, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 05:19, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

How about "Category: Shakespeare" to encompass William Shakespeare, the plays, Shakespeare's sonnets and characters? We could define it as articles relating to the works of William Shakespeare. – Cleanse 09:52, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

I agree that a "Category: Shakespeare" is a good idea, encompassing more than just characters. If the category turns out to be big enough, a subcategory can always be added. —MJBurrage^(T•C) 05:00, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

How about "Category: Shakespeare plays" and "Category: Shakespeare characters" as subcats? There's over 10 of each. That would leave William Shakespeare and Shakespeare's sonnets in the main cat.– Cleanse 10:20, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

And The Globe Illustrated Shakespeare: The Complete Works.

Category created.– Cleanse 10:09, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

...to increase the scope to all works by, or about, Shakespeare. This way the three pages that aren't the plays can be here too. - Archduk 3 09:55, May 12, 2017 (UTC)

That's reasonable. How about "Shakespearean literature" instead though? --LauraCC (talk) 17:17, May 17, 2017 (UTC)
