a headache. The minimalist solution appears to be that Category:Anglican suffragan bishops in Chelmsford and Category:Anglican suffragan bishops in Chelmsford Diocese should be renamed/merged to Category:Anglican suffragan bishops in the Diocese of Chelmsford. The broader issues raised by Peterkingiron may be better addressed another day. If I have screwed up, please let me know |

Upmerge to Category:Kennedy Center honorees. Many of these are already listed in the parent, but some are not. These subcats also are incomplete so that a listify would not buy much.

endorse creation of Category:Footballers' Wives and Girlfriends (the expanded name is probably better for clarity) as a defining characteristic of the women in question in the UK context, but not necessarily creating a precedent for categorising other companions of notable people. People should only be in the category if they are notable enough in their own right to have an article anyway and, as Johnbod says, the category can be cleared of "trivial" inclusions, but the potential for BLP issues is no worse here than elsewhere. Hopefully Tris2000 will have learnt more about category procedures; perhaps next time he's involved in a debate, it won't be 17 days old before being closed... NB do we need to consider a "category for discussion" template for requests to endorse creation of a category? |
