:Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems that your preferred solution is that you choose while all the idiots around you shut up. I prefer the clunky system we currently have. You are more than welcome to start a discussion at WT:OC since consensus can and often does change. People do listen (though they might disagree) and they are open to new ideas, although you'll get a more productive discussion if you don't start from the assumption that they're all dimwits. I know that this choice of minimizing the number of eponymous category was also made on the French and German Wikipedias and the group of idiots who made that choice there is, as far as I know, distinct from the group of idiots who made it here.
