Category:British celebrities
This is not a proper category for British celebs who are actually barred from being here, according to the opening sentence and the way itr is being policed. It is a holding cat for those articles which cannot be categorised anywhere else. Go put the rubbish somewhere else and either delete or turn into a real category SqueakBox 18:00, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's purpose is clearly explained. Somewhere else would have to be category:British people and that should be as clear as possible. This is the wrong place for this nomination anyway. CalJW 18:32, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

Why the wrong place? People can vot6e on the subject here, SqueakBox 18:39, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

If this was a category for British cerlebrituies I would be happy with it, but it is not. I would like it to be a category for celebrities, containing all British celebrities, and making that info easily accessible, instead of having to trawl through the rubbishy non celebs who populate it and then trawl through other categories looking for real British celebs. At the moment you can't find British celebs in Wikipedia, signifying a breakdown in the cat system, SqueakBox 18:46, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep and Change, I agree with SqueakBox this category should allow for entry of other celebrities unless of course they already have a category for their particular occupation as has been classified under British actors, sportspeople, musicians etc... However I felt that most of the people listed were unknown to myself and I live in the U.K., there was no Katie Price aka Jordan or Jodie Marsh or James Hewitt to be found anywhere and these are all British celebrities nonetheless.

 * Keep and Change is fine by me, but make into a page of well known celebrities (the type that appear in Hello, etc) so Jordan, Kate Moss, Elton John, Mick Jagger, etc, would all be their, a real celebrities cat. We could have a sub cat for dead celebrities, but basically it would be a very different one from how it is at present including definitely changing the introduction, and including creating a new category of uncategorised Brits and/or finding another cat for the few who are left in there at the moment ( removed a fair few this morning0, SqueakBox 01:13, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
