Can you please revert your removals of categories when you added folks to "Category:Possibly fictional people". You removed a ton of categories you seem to have deemed not applicable based on their disputed status. I'd rather not mass roll them back because that would also remove other additions.

Anyway, I've rolledback many of your removals. There is no reason to remove people who are posisbly fictional from categories. They can still be defined by the category and being able to navigate to similar people who aren't fictional is still helpful. SMasonGarrison 19:05, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I do not think we should mix fiction people with categories tor real people. This especially applies to birth and death years. If they were not born or did not die they should not be in such categories. We should not put fictional people in categories gor real people. This just creates confusion. We should limit People to categorizing them by things that are clear verifiable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:31, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I get the aspect of verifiable. However, legends/disputed people can still regularly described as being from that period in secondary sources. Please get consensus on this interpretation before you move forward with it. It makes it very hard to navigate when you remove so many categories. SMasonGarrison 19:37, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
JPL do not revert these category restorations. I've asked you to get consensus broadly. SMasonGarrison 04:37, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The revert was unintentional. I have no idea how I even did it.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:44, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for clarifying. SMasonGarrison 04:49, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Northumbrian people

There is both a modern Northumbria as well as a kingdom of that name that existed in the 1st millenia. The modern Northumbria is a part of England. Historical Northumbria seems to have extended at times into what is now Scotland. We have a Category:Northumbrian people. I think that is too easy to confuse as meaning people from the modern region. I think it would be much better to rename it to Category:People from the Kingdom of Northumbria to make it clear it refers to people from the historical kingdom and not to people from.Northumbria (modern).John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:13, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
