Would the creation of another category be feasible?

Hello,

I don't know if this is the right place to ask for this, but I would like to ask if the creation of a new subcategory would be possible. It should lay under the IBM category to group all threads about all pre-PC small systems the company made. We have a problem with dispersion: as the very few people who have machines of this class don't know where to post (minis/other/XT and early AT) the threads about the same computers lie between different categories. Information about them is scarce and in my humble opinion it wouldn't hurt to create such a place to have all information about those systems in a single category.

What do you think about it?

Regards

Thank you very much.

Not today because it's late but over the next days I would like to make a list with the threads to be moved, so the newborn category doesn't feel that empty.
 
I made a small list of threads to be moved into the non-PC category:

The list is not exhaustive, but I think it could be a good start. :)
