Question: is the category Category:Origin of life separate from this category, or should it go here. Also, Biology is "the study of life", what should go in biology and what in life? [[User:Sverdrup|❝Sverdrup❞]] 15:55, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I'm going to be bold and move this category to Category:Tree of life, because that's clearly it's intention, to avoid the confusion with life-related topics that should really be in Category:Biology. --Lexor|Talk 11:03, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Redundant with Category:Biology and Category:Origin of life. --Lexor|Talk 03:15, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Is Category:Life intended to be the beginning of the tree of life? —Mike 04:03, Sep 7, 2004 (UTC)

If so, it needs a different name, perhaps Category:Evolutionary tree of life, or just Category:Evolutionary tree. --Lexor|Talk 12:39, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC)

This reads like one of the fundamental categories listed on the main page. Maybe it should be added to that scheme. Category:Evolutionary tree as a replacement for Category:Life, BTW, would be POV. -Seth Mahoney 22:51, Sep 10, 2004 (UTC)

If the intention of the category creator is as an evolutionary tree, i.e. in the sense of the WikiProject Tree of Life (which it certainly currently looks like), then that's not POV, it's describing what it is. I'd also be happy with Category:Tree of life in that case if the word "evolution" raises hackles, since it's often referred to it as that by biologists too. What I'm saying is that if we have Category:Biology, and the intention of category is about topic relating to life in the biological sense (i.e. not personal life etc), then we don't really need it. If it means anything else then it also needs to renamed to avoid confusion with life in the biological sense. --Lexor|Talk 10:58, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I'm recreating this for articles relating to life that are not specifically biological. —Ashley Y 02:51, August 6, 2005 (UTC)
