[edit] List of Catholic Businesspersons, List of Catholic Adventurers, List of Catholic Athletes

This is a collective nomination for three "List of Catholics". Inclusion criteria are overly broad, and the faith of none of those people had an incfuence on their chosen profession. Pilatus 14:58, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Do not categorize members of the lists as Catholic unless they are prominent as followers of Catholicism. Are we going to categorize the entire cricket side of Bangladesh as Muslims, just because Bangladesh is a Muslim country? Pilatus 21:25, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

• Categorize all members of these lists appropriately, then delete the lists, as with all lists linking profession to religion. See AFDs for List of Jewish publishers, bankers, and criminals. — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 15:37, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
  • There is a point in having a Category:Catholic authors, as there are many writers whose work is influenced by their faith. But why would one wish to categorize athletes of businessmen as adherents of $FAITH? Pilatus 15:45, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Let me clarify what I meant. For example, if it is verified that Pat Croce is catholic, add him to Category:Roman Catholics so this information is not lost. If there is already an appropriate subcategory, move him further down to it. I did not mean create new subcategories based on the list titles above. — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 16:25, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete most of the lists that link occupation and religion, with the possible exception of politicians. Youngamerican 19:09, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
• Categorize people in Category:Roman Catholics and delete. Please note the current lists are miscapitalized. Their occupation is in no way related to their faith. Possible exceptions for politicians, authors and journalists come to mind. - Mgm|^(talk) 20:29, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

• Categorify and delete, per Freak. Lists of (religion) (profession) are not encyclopedic, save when the faith has something to do with the profession. (List of priests/rabbi/whatever-term-for-clergy would be encyclopedic, as would a list of writers whose work is influence by their faith.) - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 01:50, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
