Re: Titania and The Summer Court as category summary

Shouldn't this be an article with the others in this category? I know we aren't Wikipedia, but the reasons for avoiding using categories as articles are described in various places.

Wikipedia:FAQ/Categorization - What goes on a category page: "A category page should contain a brief description of the purpose of the category. ...avoid copying large quantities of text or images from an article to a category page."

Wikipedia:Categorization: "While it should typically be clear from the name of an existing category which pages it should contain, the text of the category page may sometimes provide additional information on potential category contents."

Essay - Wikipedia:Categories are different from articles
