WP:SMALLCAT doesn't say anything about time tresholds. Sooner or later it will definitely happen considering constant growth of Wikipedia. There is no reason to remove category that we all know potentially consist several notable items.
Marcelus (

- It is true that smallcat "doesn't say anything about time tresholds", but it doesn't forbid it, either. It does say realistic. I don't think that it is realistic to assume that every article on wikipedia will be created. "we all know potentially consist several notable items" We don't know that. Further, extending your logic would result in creating family categories for every family, because there's the potential for notable items.
Mason (

- We know it for sources obviously. Most of them were influential noble families, that had many notable representatives. I don't really see the reason for deleting them in order to just create them later. I just think it would be better if before requesting deletion you would actually examine sources and check for articles that can eventually be put in those category. Look how frutiful our discussion about Glinka family turned out to be.

I don't think that it is realistic to assume that every article on wikipedia will be created. "we all know potentially consist several notable items" We don't know that. Further, extending your logic would result in creating family categories for every family, because there's the potential for notable items.

- Oppose The term leaders can also encompass a range of meanings. Does it include senator, MPs, first ladies, advisors, statesman, etc.? How do we know when modern states began?

- Oppose since the term of 'state' carries a lot of baggage that doesn't necessarily apply to all these individuals. ― novov (t c)
- Alt merge for the earlier centuries per Marcocapelle; Defer the rest until the Category:Women rulers by century tree has been phased out (we're at the 12th century now).
