[edit] Category:Wikipedian_journalists
Seems like what you would call a "vanity category". Wikipedia categories are for articles, not users, right? TheNewAuk 06:27, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. This is one of a set of categories specifically for users to add themselves to. You'll notice that it isn't a subcategory of Category:Journalists, but only of Category:Wikipedians. See Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#Wikipedian_categories for a discussion about it.-gadfium (talk) 06:40, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. In the discussion noted above, I proposed Wikipedian categories on December 12, and no one objected. Maurreen 06:54, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- I was just thinking that the Wikipedia is for articles, and that, just as matter of principle, we should keep Users out of the main namespace. Would it be possible to make categories within the User namespace for this purpose? That would allow catergories of User pages but keep them separate from the actual Wikipedia.

- I added my two cents to the discussion noted above. TheNewAuk 05:32, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Note that Category:Wikipedia and its many subcats entirely consists of pages not in the main namespace, so the precedent has already been established. Stan 14:37, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Oh. I didn't think of that. ...I still think it would be neat to separate the Wikipedia from "meta-Wikipedia" material, but if it can't be done easily, and since we have the precedent, and it's not really a big deal anyway, I hereby withdraw my deletion nomination.
