Some words of caution from Wikipedia:Categorization of people...
[edit] Biographies of living people
Category names do not carry disclaimers or modifiers, so the case for the category must be made clear by the article text. The article must state the facts that result in the use of the category tag and these facts must be sourced.
For example, Category:Criminals should only be added if the incident is relevant to the person's notability; it has been published by reliable third-party sources; the subject was convicted; and the conviction was not overturned on appeal.
Category tags regarding religious beliefs and sexual preference should not be used unless two criteria are met:
- The subject publicly self-identifies with the belief or preference in question;
- The subject's beliefs or sexual preferences are relevant to the subject's notable activities or public life, according to reliable published sources.
Caution should be used in adding categories that suggest the person has a poor reputation. See Invasion of privacy#False light.
