T:RULE OF 3[[edit source]]
Three of the four pages that were in this category were placed by a user who was using Category:People as though it were part of Category:Individuals. Re-categorisation of those pages has left only Crowd, which is already covered by Category:Groups. Should this category continue to exist? Fennel Soup ☎ 20:25, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
- Person should probably be in "People" as well… Surely we can think of a third? --Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 20:42, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
- I suppose what really concerns me about this category is that the intent behind it is unclear. It seems to have the potential for major overlap with other, pre-existing categories.
- Like, if we take a look at the placement of Categeory:People under Category:Life, then we might interpret "People" to be a category dealing with intelligent species. But that kind of information is already dealt with under Category:Lifeforms. And if we take a cue from the inclusion of Crowd instead, then we might interpret "People" as a category dealing with groups of people. But in that case there’s significant overlap with Category:Society, which already covers concepts like "Family", "Civilisation", etc. We could maybe include Team here, but that’s covered by Category:Groups just like Crowd is.
- TL;DR: Assuming we want to keep Category:People, how are we actually defining it? Fennel Soup ☎ 22:13, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
