Bankers excessively divided by category edit
15 of the sub-cats of Bankers by nationality have 1 article in the category. A few of those have 1 article but 2 categories.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:04, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
Category:Dominican bankers edit
This category has 2 issues. 1- it only has 3 articles. This is really too small to justify a category. It would probably make more sense to upmerge it to Dominica People (which would probably be less confusing if it was named People from Dominica), and 2- to Bankers. This category could currently be confused with Bankers from the Dominican Republic, since many of those articles also call the people "Dominican", and there are other meanings of the word that could also cause confusion.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:11, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- Dominican itself is a disambiguation page. The nation called Dominca is not the first thing listed there, so I am not sure why in the world anyone would think "Dominican bankers" are bankers from Dominica as opposed to from the Dominican Republic, which is listed higher up in that aricle.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:13, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
1790 v 1791 births edit
Right now 1790 births has 981 articles while 1791 births has 778 births. This is one of the biggest year to year changes, especially by percentage, at least before 1970. I suspect some of the 1790 births are really about 1790.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:46, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- Others like Montague Ainslie were just plain wrong. His article gives a specific date he was born in 1792. I have moved him.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:49, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

People from the Kingdom of Prussia edit
Considering that it was a great power in Europe from 1701-1871, when it becsme a greater power by becoming the German Empire, it seems to me that Bankers from the Kingdom of Prussia and Industrialists from the Kingdom of Prussia would be justified categories. However Businesspeople from the Kingdom of Prussia currently only has 50 articles. That is too small to be eorth splitting. So I will hold off on splitting for now. We have far too many narrow categories for me to feel like creating new ones ffor no good reason.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:05, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

- I think Circassia is a distinct topic. It was a country or region for hundreds of years. For other countries/regions we have distinct categories named after the place, such as the Kingdom of Hawaii or the Ottoman Empire. We do not try to conflate categories of the place with those for the ethnic group that once inhabited the place. This is particularly true for Cicassia v Circassians. Since the Circassins left the place under force from the Russian government, a lot of our material on Circassians is either about ethnic Circassian people elsewhere, or Circassian nationalism after the loss of the physical place. These are district topics for articles that cover the place that was Circassia.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:41, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- Circassia and Circassians are 2 seperate articles. I believe this means the burden is on others to show why we would not have 2 seperate categories. We in general have one category that covers the political entity, and another category for people. In the case of Circassians the topic category is covering some things related to the Circassian diaspora. If we do not need all these categories, I think it is the Circassians, not the Cicassia category that we should not keep.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:43, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

John R. Cocke edit
The article John R. Cocke says that the subjects name is actually spelled John R. Cooke.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:39, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- Huh. There is a separate, and longer, article about the same person under the title John R. Cooke which is indeed the correct spelling. I slapped merge templates on them. I don't know if there's anything on the John R. Cocke article that isn't already in the correct article. If you want to look into it that'd be fine. Herostratus (talk) 22:09, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
Categorizing by ethnicity edit
we categorize by ethnicity, not race. For this reason I think we should highly scrutinize placing anyone in a Native American Category. That is categorizing by race, not ethnicity. We need to doubly scrutinize in the pre-1850 time period. Pocahontas is not an undifferentiated Native America.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:27, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
