[edit] Categorization as Green politician
As I understand WP:SUBCAT, the double-categorization isn't appropriate in this case, but I'm certainly open to hearing arguments to the contrary. The problem I have with the double categorization is that it doesn't actually tell the reader anything new: seeing "Category:Green politicians in Canada" at the bottom of the page tells the reader that the subject is a green politician in Canada. Seeing "Category:Candidate for the federal Green Party" also tells the reader that the subject is a green politician in Canada. I understand your point that there is more specific information to be had beyond what the category I added expresses, but the trouble is that the current category doesn't actually provide any of that more specific information. If you wanted to create a sub-category to "Green politicians in Canada" that was something like "Provincial Green Party candidates", I'd be quite happy to see that added.

- Maybe each of the GP parties needs their own provincial green party candidates cat? The problem with the House of Commmons cats is, I can't search for someone who ran for the Green Party of Ontario, or the Green Party of PEI. --GreenJoe 16:14, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
- Sure. But could you do that with Category:Green politicians in Canada? I'm a big fan of more categorization rather than less, as long as each new category in an article tells the reader something new. Adding Category:Green Party of Prince Edward Island candidates would do that. Adding Category:Green politicians in Prince Edward Island would do that. So would adding Category:Provincial Green Party Candidates. I just don't think leaving Category:Green politicians in Canada does. Sarcasticidealist 16:22, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
- The name matches the categories under Category:Green politicians. I'd be fine with the starting of any of those listed. GreenJoe 22:52, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
