Category:Dead people[edit]
Is this a joke? Gamaliel 05:31, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. - Isn't it a common denominator of the two subcategories? Besides, the description reads: "Do not add articles directly to this category; instead, add them to the appropriate subcategory.". -- User:Docu
- Three subcategories now.
- Name seems kinda trite, but with above listed qualifications, I see no reason to not keep it. --ssd 12:29, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Delete - what next? Category: Alive people???? jguk 23:00, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Keep only if it is restricted to those subcategories. Delete on sight if it metastisizes beyond that. Postdlf 23:14, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Delete - The two categories could easily be part of the parent category (People), and thus eliminating an uneeded level of catagorization. Hobie 02:54, 2004 Oct 14 (UTC)
- Keep: useful parent for other categories and not intended to be used for categorization of individual articles. -Sean Curtin 03:37, Oct 14, 2004 (UTC)
- Should we also have a Category:People who have lived as a parent to Category:Births by year, and any hypothetical Category:People born by Caesarian section and Category:People born in strange places categories? This is not a vote.-gadfium 05:01, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
