Nominator's rationale: "From Russia" looks redundant as "Russian" already indicates the origin, no conflict with parent categories. Brandmeistertalk 16:52, 25 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The proposal as it stands does not work, as there are Russian Orthodox Christians of different Orthodox churches. An upmerge to Category:Members of the Russian Orthodox Church would be an alternative. Oculi (talk) 02:16, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support -- We would not have Anglican Christians in England or English members of Church of England. We should be able to assume that Russian Orthodox are Russian, unless they are placed in a non-Russian sub-cat. Peterkingiron (talk) 23:55, 25 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Just because they're Russian Orthodox Christians doesn't mean that they're Russian citizens. As part of the Russian diaspora, they could be American or Canadian or British citizens. Laurel Lodged (talk) 12:43, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What's convenient here, is that this category literally start with "People associated with..." and we have an over-categorization guideline prohibiting People associated with... categories. Specifically, WP:OCASSOC reads that "the problem with vaguely-named categories such as this is determining what degree or nature of 'association; is necessary to qualify a person for inclusion in the category." Not only that, many of these are still living people being "associated" with a criminal conspiracy so there are WP:BLPCAT issues. I thought about creating more clear subcategories for Watergate Committee staffers, witnesses, and reporters but these would run into WP:PERFCAT issues. - RevelationDirect (talk) 12:26, 25 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Background We deleted nearly identical categories on the Whitewater and Monica Lewinsky scandals here. RevelationDirect (talk) 12:26, 25 December 2015 (UTC)-[reply]
Support nom -- Are there any members of the category, who are not also in one of the sub-cats. If so, we may need to create a further subcat for them. "Associated with" is too vague for a robust category. However in principle peopleshould not be in both parent and childs categories; and I suspect that is how this is populated.

Support per nom. Perhaps the members of the Watergate Committe may have their own category though. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:32, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete nothing stands out to save this "people associated with" category from the usual complaint of triviality and subjectivity. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 21:58, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
