Time for categories for book authors with enough gun-using film adaptations?

Just FYI:

Stephen King = 18 entries

Tom Clancy = 13 Entries

Elmore Leonard = 14 Entries

Maybe 10?

Do we want to set a limit for directors as well? We have one director category with only two films.

While we're on the subject, can we standardize a way to do pages for directors who are also actors? The only one I've done is here.

Damn, the late PKD only has 7 films to my knowledge based on his works that would qualify for this wiki.

At least 10 items for author pages is my recommendation.

As for pages with actors who also are directors, I have done a few pages like this such as for Kevin Costner http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Kevin_Costner.

Is it better to have everything on one page (it looks a little messy) or place the directed films on the discussion page? PLease give thoughts.

Pandolfini came up with a third way. This allows the creation of a category.

Is there are reason why we cant have a (for example) "Kevin Costner" page that has his acting credits, and a separate "Category:Kevin Costner" page for his directing works linked to from his actor page? This way you would have actor and director pages that fit both of the current standards.

The reason why I combined the pages for actor/directors because there's a bit of confusion when creating a category for that person.

I mean, Do you only add films that the actor has directed in this category? Why would you not add the actor's acting credits to this?

I believe the Clint Eastwood category is pretty unique due to his immense presence on the database (is there another individual on the database that's comparable?)
