Does this man belong in this category? It's true that the only reason he has an article is due to his contribution to Winchelsea, Victoria. However, when he made his contribution to Winchelsea it was part of the colony of New South Wales. Additionally, he was born in Calcutta West Bengal, India and left Winchelsea sometime around 1850 to live in Sydney. According to his death certificate he spent 12 years in Victoria and 53 years in New South Wales. The other 16 years were spent in India.
I'm not pushing an agenda here. Just providing the facts seeking the general concensus. Factoid Killer 20:20, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
- I came across the article in a google search for uncategorised "Victoria, Australia" articles. On the basis of the information in the article I thought Category:People from Victoria was one appropriate category. Can you suggest other categories which are more appropriate? Does Wikipedia have any guidelines on "People from or of place" which would apply in this case? - Cuddy Wifter 03:41, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

- I have no idea what the policy is. We'll just leave it there and I might also add him to people from Bengal and People from New South Wales (Assuming those categories exist). It is certainly useful from a reference point of view to list him here. Factoid Killer 19:41, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
