On February 27, 2006 I removed the Category:Torah people and Category:Torah places from the following categories:
My reasoning was that while each of the articles would properly fall into those categories, the cateories themselves have areas of non-intersection such as Chemosh-nadab for Category:Moab and Jabal al-Lawz for Category:Midian. These were reverted shortly thereafter by Briangotts. Our discussion is transcribed below, and I am requesting further editor opinions one way or the other, as opposed to just getting into an edit war. The comments here would apply to all listed categories, unless specified by the editor.Thank you -- Avi 19:21, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
I have reverted your changes to various categories including Category:Moab, Category:Midian, Category:Edom, and others. The category "Torah people" includes both individual people and "peoples" in the sense of ethnic or national groups. Thus it is appropriate to include these various Biblical peoples' categories as subcats even if not every individual item within the subcat is mentioned explicitly in the Torah. Briangotts (Talk) (Contrib) 22:08, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
I disagree. Midian is a "Torah people", thus the category should be included. It's not necessary for 100% of the individual items within the category to be expressly mentioned in the Torah. By the same token, Category:Turkic peoples is included in Category:Eurasian nomads, because historically and generally speaking, Turkic people were nomadic and lived in Eurasia. Not every single Turkic nation is currently nomadic. That said, if you wish to poll other members and see what they think, I am not opposed to that course of action. But it should be carried out on as broad a basis as possible (for example, by posting to the Judaism Wikiproject and/or a Bible-studies-related Wikiproject, not just by polling a tiny select group.)

Should the above categories (not articles) be considered subsets of Category:Torah people and Category:Torah places?

While it is an unfortunately small sample, I will be removing the Torah/Tanakh places tags from the above categories. Thank you all for commenting. -- Avi 21:39, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
