Scope of this category[edit]

I observe that "status" has grown over time to not just be a holder for living, dead, disappeared categories. --lquilter 22:19, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That is the actual situation indeed but I do not think that it is desirable. I would suggest to move Category:Award winners‎, Category:Billionaires‎, Category:Centenarians‎, Category:Children‎, Category:Homeless people‎ and Category:Twin people to the parent Category:People, since they have nothing to do with status.

I agree. Using status in this way is unhelpful. Status can mean many things. Rathfelder (talk) 19:51, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
