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

[Mazryonh]

Damn, now that I've watched The Road, I'd think that Cormac McCarthy (author of the original Pulitzer-Prize-winning novel of the same name) deserves an author category of his own. Sadly, he has only three movies that qualify for inclusion on this wiki, which are All the Pretty Horses, No Country for Old Men, and The Road, which disqualifies him from inclusion according to the "4 titles required" rule, even if his movies are highly-rated.

I've just created the Philip K. Dick page. Hopefully someone can move it to "Category:Philip K. Dick" soon.

What I took away from the conversation was that we WEREN'T going to create it.

4 titles is probably too few to justify creating a new author category, given that directors only need three and usually they are more involved with the direct production of the feature.

I mean, Ian Fleming would be a more justifiable candidate for a page, but that doesn't mean it should necessarily be made.

Did we ever decide on three?

I thought that three minimum was the consensus.

I thought it was four. It doesn't really matter that much, I just want something solid.
