Category:1750s births
Wikiquote has not been categorizing people by birth date, and I have routinely removed such categories when they are added to articles. However, recent edit history for an article in this category suggests that it needs to be discussed, so I am bringing it up here. Categorizing by the century (or decade, for recent centuries) of death is useful for contextualizing quotes by historical epoch. I don't think that adding birth categories significantly improves on this contextualization, it just increases the amount of biographical material to be curated. — Ningauble (talk) 14:19, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment. I am not, in principle, against categorizations by birth decade. Ideally, however, this will eventually be handled by Wikidata, which will apply the birth and death dates of subjects from their Wikipedia articles. I therefore see no reason to set up such categorization on this project at this time. BD2412 T 17:24, 2 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete I am not convinced that birthdate categories are useful. However, if they are, there is little point in having them in just two articles.--Abramsky (talk) 11:32, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
