Delete, Non-defining characteristic, trivial, WP:OCAT, and possible violation of WP:BLP. Carlossuarez46 00:00, 8 April 2007 (UTC) reply

  • Delete, definitely non-defining, even if it could avoid BLP issues. coel acan00:57, 8 April 2007 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Non-defining. Piccadilly 09:40, 8 April 2007 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - This type of biographical categorization leads to category clutter problems. Moreover, people are generally not notable for being alcoholics but instead for their other accomplishments. Dr. Submillimeter 11:24, 8 April 2007 (UTC) reply
  • Delete non-defining with potential BLP problems. Doczilla 20:30, 8 April 2007 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Not trivial in life, but trivial as a Wikipedia category. ReeseM 01:14, 9 April 2007 (UTC) reply
  • Keep if properly restricted, delete otherwise First, in regards to WP:BLP, the guideline says that an allegation of an alchohol problem is acceptable if it "...is notable, relevant, and well-documented by reliable published sources, it belongs in the article — even if it's negative and the subject dislikes all mention of it." Certain notable individuals are, unfortunately, notorious for their alcohol or drug dependency, and thus for those people there is often a great deal of reliable published sources detailing the problem. Thus it is not only proper but necessary to include that information in the person's biography under such circumstances (it is not proper to include simple rumors of alchoholism or very minor stories and the like.) Thus, provided this category is specifically used only in cases where the person's article presents verifiable information that their alchohol dependency and treatment was a notable part of their biography, then this category is a perfectly proper subdivision of Category:People by medical or psychological condition (since alchoholism is a medical condition). The fact that someone is probably also notable for other things doesn't necessarily make their alchoholism or drug dependency any less notable or defining a feature of their personal history.

  • Delete per nom. Categories should not be about what mattered in the personal lives of the subjects, but rather the reasons why they have articles. Craig.Scott 00:24, 11 April 2007 (UTC) reply

Category:Holocaust deniers ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Like the former Category:Anti-Semitic people, this category inappropriately labels people -- it is potentially libelous and is speculative; thus, it should be deleted. -- 172.164.111.115 15:49, 7 April 2007 (UTC) reply

If the information is given in an article, it can be explained. It can also, most importantly, be sourced. This possibility is not there when using categories. That is why categories are not usually used for this kind of information. The articles can and will still have it. -- rimshots talk 16:55, 8 April 2007 (UTC) reply

I came in shortly after Pesach was over for me...it's possible Pesach ended for others around the same time and they saw my note to Jayjg on his talkpage. I certainly wasn't canvasing for !votes (this is about discussion, after all, not about voting...) Tom e r talk 20:19, 11 April 2007 (UTC) reply
There is a strong element of voting in Wikipedia's decision making processes, whether one choses to acknowledge that reality or to deny it. Anyway, few of the keep voters have added much to the discussion. Honbicot 20:38, 12 April 2007 (UTC) reply
