I think in this case we should keep it in the gargoyles category. The humans are honorary members. Elisa is an honorary member of Manhattan Clan, does that mean it isn't a gargoyle clan? It is not the same situation as the Labyrinth clan, which is almost half mutates, and was founded by mutates. -- Vaevictis Asmadi 10:12, 7 June 2007 (CDT)

I think all of these clans are "gargoyles clans" in that they are family groups of the sort typically found in gargoyle societies, and arranged along similar lines. That doesn't require that all members be gargoyles. (I think even the Labyrinth Clan probably qualifies as a "gargoyle clan" under this definition.)
Now, a GargWiki user (perhaps one entirely unfamiliar with the fandom, if such people exist) that browses the "Gargoyles" category would be justified in thinking that every subpage of "Category:Gargoyles" (no matter how deep) would be about a gargoyle. It wouldn't be hard to imagine their confusion when they click on the link to Magus or Talon. Therefore, being contained in (even a subcategory of) "Category:Gargoyles" does require that the character is a gargoyle.
(And bear in mind also that every gargoyle character is already contained in the base "Category:Gargoyles", so there's no real need for subcats anyway.)
That said, if you still disagree with these opinions, then by all means make the changes. Or we could try to find a compromise here on the talk page. What do you think? -- Supermorff 11:00, 7 June 2007 (CDT)
