 * Would the original Books and related stories technically be Category:Media? Should we have "Media (Books)" and "Media (Franchise)"?
 * Category:Lists - couldn't these pages be in other categories?
 * Category:Island Images - I'm not sure this image category is necessary? There's hardly anything in it, compared to the bazillion location images out there. We already have a Category:Maps, that most of these images would fit in to.
 * Category:Image wiki templates - this looks like a default category - do we need this?
 * Category:Huts - is this supposed to be for residences/homes/domiciles? The Blacksmith Shop and other non-residences are here. Should it be name something else, or do we need it at all?
 * Category:Humans - We have Category:Human Characters from the Franchise and Category:Human Characters from the Books. Is this category necessary? We also already have Category:Characters, Category:Dragon Characters, Category:Dragon Characters from the Franchise, and Category:Dragon Characters from the Books. Oh and just Category:Dragons. I don't think we have any categories for non-human non-dragon characters.
 * Category:How to Train Your Dragon who have promoted articles to Featured Status - I'm thinking this isn't really needed. Only one person is listed.
 * Category:How to Train Your Dragon - This looks like it's supposed to be an everything HTTYD Franchise page - "Anything that appeared in anything canon related to How to Train Your Dragon" We've got too many more specific categories to worry about this one.
 * Category:House Larson - is this even a real thing? I know in the Franchise there are mentions of the Hofferson, Haddock, Ingerman, etc houses, but I don't even recall a "House Larson". Just because there is a last name listed doesn't entitle these minor characters to a 'House'. Why not a House Grimborn then?
 * Not sure how to remove Category:Hidden categories from the Category:Pages with broken file links?
 * Category:Help desk - necessary?
 * Category:Graphic Novels - isn't Category:Comics sufficient? Dragons: Riders of Berk (comics) is listed in the "Graphic Novel category


 * I'd have to say the book and related stories should be categorized as Media. I'd say that would be pretty hard to do, since the Media category is one of the categories that has an achievements badge track. It wouldn't make sense to create those categories.
 * For the pages in the "Lists" category, they should have the list category, and of course be categorized in other categories that they fit in.
 * I'd say that the categories "Map" and "Island Images" are technically different. One is of the actual island, and the other is a picture of a map that one looks at.
 * The "Image-wiki Templates" category is necessary since those are the templates use on images that are to mark the type of licensing.
 * I'd say the "Huts" category is not needed. The pages in it are in the "buildings" category and so we don't need the "Huts" category.
 * In terms of the "Human Characters from the Franchise" and "Human Characters from the Books" category, I'd say that all humans in the books and franchise are characters, so we don't need a human characters category, add that to the fact the characters category already tells us that the person is a character. This question here relates to the redundancy of categories that bothers me. Here I'd say that the "Humans" category is necessary. Instead of having the categories that say "franchise (object/dragon/etc.), and "book series (object/dragon/etc.), or in the way the human characters categories are named, is not necessary, as would be better to have a "franchise" category, and a "Book Series" category. Thus when reading the categories in the box at the bottom of the page it would read, "Male/Female", "Human", "Character", from the "Franchise". The fact is a category such as "Human Characters from the Franchise" is too narrow and is redundant as it overlaps three categories. Each category should only be serving a single purpose and shouldn't be overlapping with another category.
 * For the category, "How to Train Your Dragon who have promoted articles to Featured Status" is not necessary, and should be deleted.
 * I agree with getting rid of the "How to Train Your Dragon category"
 * I'd say that the House Larson category is not necessary and should be deleted.
 * I know how to remove the category "Hidden Categories" from the category "Pages with Broken File links", but I am not sure why you want to remove the former category from the latter.
 * I'd say the "Help Desk" category is not necessary.
 * In terms of the "Comics" category and "Graphic Novels" category, there is a difference between a graphic novel and a comic. A graphic novel is significantly longer than a comic book. Here is a link to a page that describes the difference between comic books and graphic novels. The first part of that article, which briefly describes the differences, and doesn't go into details says this, "Calling something a graphic novel isn’t just a fancy way of saying “comic book.” There’s a very clear difference between the two. Graphic novels are much longer and tend to be much more complex. While a comic book will tell a story over many issues, graphic novels more often have their storylines wrapped up in only one or two books."

I've seen the next set of questions and will answer them as soon as possible.
