Category:Scholars in France
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's
talk page or in a
deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
Nominator's rationale: No real content. The note says "Note: Category:French scholars is different.", and it is. But no articles have appeared. It is a genuine problem that academics and scholars are mobile. We claim to categorise them by nationality, but it's very unusual for a biographical article to say anything explicit about nationality, so for people who move about we have to guess. Nationality law in most places is actually quite complicated, so it would be surprising if quite a lot are not mis-categorised.

Delete; there is no need to merge, as the sub-cat is also in the parents via other hierarchies. The category originally held
Category:Collège de France faculty but most of the members of that one do, naturally, appear to be French. –

Delete, "foreign" scholars who lived in France will also be counted as French scholars.
