People love it when things are easy to get to and when they can get information quickly. That's why I want this category to be split into two: one for doctors and one for scientists.

I absolutely love fictional doctors, so I once went on here to find some more besides Dr. Mario and Dr. Toadley (this was before Dr. Luigi was canon, by the way). However, this was also mixed with scientists, so I had to randomly click on all the links to find somebody who was actually a doctor. It's confusing when you're in a category and you can't find exactly what you're looking for.

I know scientists are sometimes referred to as, "Dr.", but when we think of doctor, we do not think of Bill Nye the Science Guy. I suggest splitting this category into two so people will not bang their head on the keyboard because they're writing a Mario fanfiction and they need a doctor besides Dr. Mario.

OK OK, but Madz, fix something please: On the proposals you formatted it incorrectly and Mario Wiki:Proposals is a part of the doctor's category. FIX IT!!! Toadbrigade5 (talk) 23:15, 8 November 2014 (EST)

I fixed it! Wow, when I figured that out, it was scary. I thought I messed up so badly, I'll get in trouble on here. Oh well, at least that page isn't a doctor anymore. Why do I feel like Ashley right now? Madz the Penguin (talk) 23:22, 8 November 2014 (EST)

You're not going to get in trouble. :P Everyone makes honest mistakes like that from time to time. Fill a chill pill! It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 23:57, 8 November 2014 (EST)

@Proposal: What exactly are you going to split it into? I'd suggest renaming the title to something else because all of these people share something in common, that they're people working in white-collar-like professions. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 23:58, 8 November 2014 (EST)

Doctors and Scientists, of course! We need to separate them, because even if they are called, "Dr.", scientists are not doctors. They are highly educated people, but they study different things. Doctors go to medical school for three years plus another three years of internship. Scientists, depending on their studies, do not go to medical school; they take different classes that teach them what they need to learn. So, Dr. Mario does not have a similar job to E. Gadd; their lives are different, and they study different things.

Oh, and a chill pill! *puts pill in a bottle full of viruses, and it starts a chain reaction where all the viruses are destroyed* Thank you so much for the help! Madz the Penguin (talk) 00:07, 9 November 2014 (EST)

I'd like "Doctors and professors" maybe... even if the name does sound kind of overlappy. But look at the opening sentence of this category, heh ("...or simply those characters that are named with the title "Doctor" or "Professor". "). And, lol, nice one. It's probably chill viruses in there, heehee. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 00:25, 9 November 2014 (EST)
