Is a concept of Undead Dragon really necessary? How specific do these concepts need to be when tagging a game page with the concepts of Dragon and/or Undead works just as well? At what point does this become splitting hairs?

This topic is locked from further discussion.
What about the Zombie page, then? Wouldn't Undead work for them as well?
If one creates a broad(?) concept page, like water one get accused of doing it for easy points.
But if one creates a concept such as blood splatter the same is true.
I'd like to defend the creation of this page but heh, English, so I'm gonna wait for the judges
and abide by their decision. I will respect either outcome.
So sorry (yet again) for mocking up (again) if that is the case.
Fake edit: Checked the GB Wiki FAQ. Undead Dragon is a Races/Enemy Type concept not uncommon in fantasy games.
Not really. A zombie refers exclusively to a human being." @PureRok said:

A dragon is not a person.

Fair enough. But in that case, isn't an undead dragon just a subset of dragon? "That's correct, just like RGD-33 and Mills Bomb both are subsets of Grenade.
I think it's safe to assume that people looking for info on the Undead or Zombie page wouldn't really be interested in a wealth of Undead Dragon information. That page is totally fine. Subsets that describe things that only exist in one game are totally fine.
It would not be inappropriate, for example, to have separate pages for the rocket launchers in Quake, Quake 2, and Quake III Arena... provided people had meaningful text about those specific weapons to contribute.
