Redundant to Category:sh:Ursids. The only member of the family Ursidae that's not generally called a bear is the giant panda, and that's mostly because the scientific consensus that it belongs to the Ursidae instead of the Procyonidae is fairly recent.

A good argument could be made for moving Category:Ursids to Category:Bears rather than merging Category:sh:Bears into Category:sh:Ursids, but there's only this category, with two members, as opposed to 44 language-specific subcategories with 166 members for Category:Ursids.

I was tempted to just orphan and speedy this, but Purplebackpack89 rightly called me to task the last time I did that. Chuck Entz (talk) 01:16, 6 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Support either course of action (moving Ursids to Bears or Bears to Ursids). I’d say that pandas are called bears too: panda bear. — Ungoliant (falai) 01:32, 6 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
