A question I've asked a million things, then how do you categorize things that come in already created categories that have more than 50 members? For example, plant families can't be categories, because there are too many with over 50 members, horticultural varieties of a specific species cannot be categories because you can't have more than 50ish members, the "substantially useful" size of a category. Varieties of sage should be broken up precisely how to conform to the category scheme, and doesn't this wind up being original research when dealing with organism categories?
50 members is not a hard limit, just like 32kb is not a hard limit on article size. If there's a large category that cannot be reasonably subdivided, then it cannot be subdivided and that's that. A very large category is still more useful than one that's been arbitrarily split up or that doesn't exist at all.
In the case of plant families, though, I don't see why they can't be divided into genera subcategories should the need arise.
