Delete This is not really a BLP problem, since the identities of these people are sourced. But we don't have a category tree for people who merely tested positive for a disease.

Rather than renaming it, let's keep this category and create the people category for the larger group of non-presidents whose notability is in part derived from their position in the NBPA. This can be a sub-category of that group.--

@
Pppery and
Fayenatic london: the numner of user categories has grown to absurd level, and needs some systematic cull. (I am collecting stats).
Buaidh's main activity seems to be creating them prolificly without raegard to the
WP:UCAT principle that
the purpose of user categories is to aid in facilitating coordination and collaboration between users for the improvement and development of the encyclopedia.
Categories by ancestry, by religion, by sports fandom etc are badges of identity or affiliation, which are at best of no help to encyclopedic collaboration. At worst they have potential to be disruptively factionalising. However, so long as userboxes exist which populate these categories, it is helpful to have to categories pre-created and populated by these list pages ... because otherwise they flood
