Category:English_zoologists

 * Category listed for deletion on December 5, 2004. Consensus was to rename to Category:British zoologists. RedWolf 18:47, Jan 15, 2005 (UTC)

Category uses erroneous ethnic label ("English") when many members are not English at all (includes Scottish, Belgian, Argentinian, German, etc.); category should be Category:British zoologists, as the link is that they are/were British subjects or worked in Britain. I believe none come from before the Act of Union 1707. &#8212;Tkinias 23:04, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Shouldn't this also include Category:English biologists and Category: English naturalists - although one in that group was born pre-Act of Union (Mark Catesby, 1683-1749) Guettarda 00:31, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)


 * Yes IMO. Better call an Englishman British than call a Scot English, no? British is the more inclusive category. &#8212;Tkinias 00:44, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I noticed today that there was not a CFD on this category (I added Cfr) and it was recently made a subcategory of Category:British_zoologists. Do they need merging, or left alone??? --ssd 07:10, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
