Honestly, and at risk of repeating myself, i can't believe that the appearance of a moustache can be justified as being more important than this... What would be the next step? Having articles for hats, sunglasses and ties like the Tardis Wiki? I'll reiterate what User:Mrkermit said: Mrkermit wrote: Just like appearances of Americans can be found from appearances of individual members, not from Category:Americans/Appearances. So Shabook's worry about missing an appearance isn't valid when deciding this. A reason not to categorize hybrid groups without an own page is to reduce category clutter.

Furthermore, there are many times where certain races will appear without a single named or noteworthy individual appearing. Their appearances category will link back to a page for that race. That's really why they need the appearances category. The hybrids we're talking about, on the other hand, are not presented as their own race. It's either one or a handful of individuals, nor is anyone suggesting these granular hybrids get their own articles.

Also, it's a specific mustache. We have articles for specific hats, like Ringmaster's Hat. We don't have appearances categories for mustaches or hats in general.
