Categorization of British-Indian born in Chennai, India
[edit]moved from user talk for the reason that interested Wikipedians may participate, quotation:
==Reality check: Louisa Capper recategorisation== Can I check that you seriously intend to infer that Louisa Capper is an Indian? I appreciate the place of her birth. I think your recategorisation is woefully misleading. Please reconsider, or argue your case. thanks --Tagishsimon (talk) 16:24, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
- Just a closing short
Comment: Louise Capper seems a Brititish-Indian woman born in Madras (Chennai), i. e. present Tamil Nadu, India, hence, imho valuable reasons for that tiny re-categorization that may be re-established, or not.

- @Roland zh: is Nationality really predicated on place of birth? She was born of British parents, and lived most of her life in England. You have taken on yourself the responsibility for recategorisation: is she not, in some ways, a British this & a British that? --Tagishsimon (talk) 17:31, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
- Hi, really just short as relatively very offline-busied, and closing from my side: usually i'd never consider about nationality/ethnicity etc, in case of a imho British-Indian women writer born in late 18th century rather about her place of birth and 'centre of life', hence, categorize as you prefer, thx Roland zh (talk) 17:41, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

- The relevant guidelines are Wikipedia:Categorization_of_people#By_nationality_and_occupation. "The place of birth, although it may be significant from the perspective of local studies, is rarely defining from the perspective of an individual." Having said that, I can see a role for a category of "British people who spent a significant part of their life living in the Raj (or other parts of the Empire". Do we have such a category?

- Thanks CC. Useful. We have Category:Anglo-Indian people and children, and more pertinently Category:British people of colonial India. --Tagishsimon (talk) 20:10, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for looking that up; I'll try to remember the category for future use. Carbon Caryatid (talk) 22:10, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
