And wouldn't there be a lot of database space taken up by redundant categories like this? We could have articles for them, maybe, but at this rate we'll need to start 'WikiProject WikiDbCleanup'. If there are 12,000 categories, that has to make up a significant body of data.
At a rough estimate, the entire category structure of the English Wikipedia takes up as much database space as the edit history of [[George W Bush]]. I wouldn't worry about it.
