Purpose?
What is the purpose of this category? Is it only for issues of the SLG comic book, or is it also for in-universe information revealed in those issues?
If the former, I suggest that it be renamed (e.g. to "Category:SLG issues" or "Category:SLG Gargoyles issues" to differentiate from the up-coming Bad Guys series), that its explanatory paragraph be edited, and that it be made a subcat of "Category:Episodes".
If the latter, then it should be a subcat of "Category:Canon" and should also include articles like Tri Chung. Also, if it is the latter, then the mere existence of this category suggests that we are separating canonical information depending on the medium by which it was introduced, and I haven't seen evidence of that anywhere else on the wiki.
My personal opinion, considering the subpages currently contained, is that it should be the former, but before I start taking action I thought I should elicit some other opinions. -- Supermorff 07:41, 12 May 2007 (CDT)
I don't follow entirely, but I think the category is fine the way it is. I don't want to start separating canon characters and places by medium. Since the issues are already listed Gargoyles #1, Gargoyles #2, etc, we can easily include Bad Guys in this page as well, and just list them Bad Guys #1, etc. Vaevictis Asmadi 10:58, 13 May 2007 (CDT)

And I suggest that the category be renamed to more accurately represent its true purpose, e.g. by calling it "Category:SLG issues", or simply "Category:Comic book issues".
