[edit] Comment

What a brilliantly useful category. If the Wikipedia reader's convenience is kept firmly in mind, fewer foolish errors are committed. --Wetman 01:47, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Should not go on articles but on articles' talk pages

This is an administrative category that is of no value to readers, so it should really be on the talk pages. Alex Middleton 17:04, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, this is precisely the conclusion that WP:CFD arrived at; it is considered "non-defining". — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 16:11, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

PS: In the particular case of this category, the article itself should indicate in the lead that the year of birth is unknown, and this category will to most readers other than WP:BIOgraphers not be understood to be different from Category:Year of birth missing, implying wrongly that the article is incomplete, if applied to the article itself rather than its talk page. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 17:14, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
