Biographies of Living people

The category Category:Living people has 987,022 article presently.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:40, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Russian Empire-categories

Please stop removing categories such as Category:Russian salon-holders from categories such as Category:Russian Empire salon-holders.

The Russian Empire is a sub-category to the parent-category Russia. Therefore, all the Russian Empire-categories are, when the overlap, sub-categories to Russia-categories. The Russian Empire is a period of Russian history. All period-categories are sub-categories to the nation-categories of the country in which they belong. For example, the Victorian era is a sub-category to the United Kingdom, the French revolution-era is a sub-category to the France: and the Russian Empire is a sub-category to Russia. They exist in parallel.
If you remove Category:Russian salon-holders from Category:Russian Empire salon-holders, then Category:Russian Empire salon-holders will suddenly look compeltely different from all other Salon-holder categories, and each nation has their own salon-category, sorted by nationality. Further more, it is not permitted by Misplaced Pages's rules to have a category deleted by emptying it, which can become the case when you act as above, as it has in this case.
Further more: you can not replace, for example, "Russian 18th-century dancers" with Dansers of the Russian Empire": the Empire is a period, an era, not a century. It included the 18th-, 19th- and some of the 20th-century. The century categories exist in parallel with the era/period-categories, and that is the way it has to be. Otherwise, it will be time consuming for the reader to find a person form a certain century, when they look for them.
Please consider the above carefully in the future. --Aciram (talk) 17:15, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
    • No the Russian Empire was a distinct polity. Many of the subjects of the Russian Empire would never have considered themselves to be Russian in any way, and to tag them in that way is not at all justified.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:16, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
I agree with Aciram. The Russian Empire categories should be subcategories of the Russian categories. This is for ease of navigating the category tree, if nothing else. The Russian Empire was not a completely different "polity" than the current Russian Federation. At international law, the Russian Empire was the legal successor state to the Soviet Union, which was the legal successor state to the Russian Empire. Thus, the Russian Federation and the Russian Empire are legally the same polity. (For instance, a treaty ratified by the Russian Empire is still in force for the Russian Federation without any further action being taken by the Russian Federation.)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Abdullah Khan (author)

I closed this as soft-delete, but an editor asked for it to be undeleted which I am compelled to do per the policy.

As you participated, up to you if you renominate it.
