Talk:Ziad Rafiq Beydoun

Categories
In your edit summary, you asked, "why not add Beydoun to the category of Lebanese geologists rather than delete him from the Iraq Petroleum Company geologists (to which he belongs)?" I added one category: Category:Lebanese geologists, and deleted two: Category:Geology of Yemen and Category:Geologists of the Iraq Petroleum Company. I deleted the first per WP:NOTDEFINING; if someone wants to know more about the geology of Yemen, Beydoun's biography does not help them learn more about that subject. I deleted the second because Beydoun is already in Category:People of the Iraq Petroleum Company; since there are only two Iraq Petroleum Company geologists listed in Category:Geologists of the Iraq Petroleum Company, and because no other Mideast oil company has categories for its employees, I think Category:Geologists of the Iraq Petroleum Company is an example of WP:OVERCAT, and would like to eliminate it. — Gorthian (talk) 18:46, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

In my view, Beydoun was fundamental to the unraveling of Yemeni geology (see []), therefore the link to Category:Geology of Yemen should stay; and the contribution of geologists of the Iraq Petroleum Company (IPC) was fundamental to the oil development of the Middle East - there are plenty of notable IPC geologists to justify Category:Geologists of the Iraq Petroleum Company, see [], they just need to be added to Wikipedia. It is more than simply listing geologists of an oil company - IPC was an important historical oil company. Kantrandi (talk) 06:19, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
