[edit] Autotagging category:people

Dumping all the suspected inappropriate autobiographies into the category:people renders that page highly confusing for persons simply looking for articles about different types of people. The tag is a flag to notify editors to check the article, so it should put them into a cleanup category instead. --Blainster 17:10, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

The category:people tag has been removed [1] by another editor. See that entry for suggestions on alternative categorizations. --Blainster 18:03, 6 September 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Is there a guideline for use?

I have seen this tag used when an article has simply been edited by the subject. I just added content to a so-called autobiography and want to remove the tag but I suspect it would be reverted. Tbeatty 06:03, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
