Category talk:American professional wrestlers

Very large
This category is huge. It's bigger than Category:American lawyers and that category is tagged as very large as well. We should really trim down on the number of articles on professional wrestlers on Wikipedia. I wouldn't mind if the bios actually stated why these performers are notable, but most of them focus on title lists. --Jtalledo (talk) 02:10, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * We could split it by state, but this would reduce the usefulness of the categories for browsing, and would mean that itinerant wrestlers appeared in several different sub-cats. McPhail 15:31, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * True. Right now the only way the category could be trimmed is by deleting articles and I don't think that would go over very well. --Jtalledo (talk) 23:55, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I suggest that the articles in the state categories be moved back into the main category. I don't see what the problem is about having a large category, and it makes the categorization of new articles easier. I'm not into wrestling, I just cleanup and categorize the articles. -- Kjkolb 03:51, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree. The only way to resolve this properly is by finding articles to delete though. --Jtalledo (talk) 03:56, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Moving the articles into state categories is a very bad idea as it hinders access to them. I probably create more subcategories than anyone else, but if a category that doesn't have appropriate categories is large we just have to live with it. I will remove the notice.
