Talk:Kim De Gelder

Categories
The relevant policy here is WP:INCOMPATIBLE. This applies because there are categories that are compatible with the redirect but not the the parent article Dendermonde nursery attack. Take the category "Belgian people convicted of murder", for instance. This applies to the redirect, Kim De Gelder, because he is a Belgian person convicted of murder. But the category is not compatible with Dendermonde nursery attack because it, of course, is not a Belgian person convicted of murder. All of the categories in the redirect are based on reliably sourced information in the main article, all of them are applicable to the redirect but incompatible with the parent article, and I don't see any reason they shouldn't be there. Is there some reason I don't know about?SMDWiki (talk) 06:35, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi, WP:INCOMPATIBLE does not apply as that is for redirects to articles about exactly the same topic whereas this is a redirect to a different topic, the person and the crime are different topics so there should be no categories.

 * Where did you get the information that a redirect can't have categories if they are different topics? I can't find it anywhere. I see a lot of examples of a criminal redirecting to the article about the crime they're known for, and the redirect has categories. One example is the 21st-century Belgian criminals category, which contains Jo Lernout and Nordine Amrani; these are redirects and they both have categories. How is this article different?SMDWiki (talk) 02:21, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Those categories may be there incorrectly, the help desk will give a definitive answer, thanksAtlantic306 (talk) 15:11, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I went to help desk and they agreed with me that the redirect should have categories: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Help_desk#Categories_in_redirects.SMDWiki (talk) 02:15, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
