Category:People by year
I've nominated the four (empty) subcategories of this category for deletion; it contains no articles of its own. Until such time as a consistent policy for categorizing people pages in this manner, this category is largely unnecessary. &mdash;LrdChaos 13:43, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Vote closed. Result: delete (5 deletes, no dissent). -- Robert 14:02, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete - Though I do think categorizing people by year would be a good idea. Koweja 03:05, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: The people-by-year category structure was created by our esteemed colleague MosheZadka, who has since retired from the field (hopefully not permanently). The idea is good, but we don't seem to have anyone willing to implement it by going through our thousands of people articles and categorizing them. I am generally against creating category structures unless we have the community interest in using them. Do we have anyone who wants to step up to this plate? If so, I would still recommend sticking with births and deaths by decade, as we have implemented with films, until we have an article count that justifies individual years. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 05:49, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
