Proposal

[edit]

Rename the "Children's literature" categories to "Children's and young adult literature" categories.

Pros:

  • It's difficult to draw a clear line between the two genres.
  • Any attempt to draw such a line will involve a duplicated set of categories, and many many books will appear in both.
  • Any attempt to draw such a line will result in fruitless POV discussions of appropriateness, author intent, pedagogical use, and definitions of "child" vs "young adult"
  • It will make the categories clear to everyone in purpose

Cons:

  • Long category names
  • Many cats to rename (all the "Children's writers by nationality" cats)
