Why can't we add people to this category yet we can add them to category:Living people? NorthernThunder 18:12, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
- Well, a person is added here. But I think that it is a mistake as the comment on top of the page clearly states not to add people here. --Siva1979Talk to me 07:01, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for not answering my question. NorthernThunder 01:40, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
- We add people to a category based on year of death, for example, Category:2006 deaths.--Lkjhgfdsa 13:56, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- We also add them to Category:Living people but not to Category:Dead people. NorthernThunder 06:02, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Animals that appear in the category of 'dead people'
It's pedantic, I know, but although with several articles on famous animals (I've chosen dogs to illustrate my example) such as Laika and Greyfriars Bobby, they're not categorised in a particular year of death, whereas Buddy (dog) appears in the category of 2002 deaths, a subcategory of 2000s deaths, 21st century deaths, and finally Deaths by year, which in itself is a subcategory of Dead people.
