Category talk:Monuments and memorials by person

Deletions of sub-cats
you referred at Categories_for_discussion/Log/2016_February_19 to "ample precedent" for deleting sub-categories of this one. Please could you name a few? – Fayenatic  L ondon 22:00, 10 April 2016 (UTC)


 * A few, per request: see [], [], [], [], [], [], [], [],

stretching back to 2007 as fa as I can tell, and running right up until late last year, a selection of the "ample" precedent; we have US presidents, Soviet figures, religious figures, sports figures, a few people I have no clue about, but they all lost their categories of things named after them....with more digging we may even find ourselves. :-) Carlossuarez46 (talk) 01:45, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much for that. I think lists are worth having, but these are persuasive regarding categories. – Fayenatic  L ondon 12:29, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I think there is in fact a good reason to group these articles together as they all share something in common - they are all things which memorialise a particular person. The statement on overcategorisation at [] states that a category may be useful if the people, objects, or places are directly related and indeed these objects and places *are* directly related as they all memorialise the same person.
