This should be merged into Category:Births in Madrid, IMHO. E4024 (talk) 14:38, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
- They have been moved from "People of Madrid", a category that lumped together "random people in the streets of Madrid", "folchlorical representations of anonymous Madrilenian people", "celebrities born in Madrid", "random selfies" and who knows what else, although "officially" was apparently aimed to "the bornies". It's probably merge-able with "Births in Madrid" (didn't notice) (nevertheless I'd like to say I would not feel comfortable moving pics of people to a Category: called "Births in Madrid", specially if they are alive, since I'm not going to check every human being formerly hosted in "Category:People of Madrid" (supposedly-born-in-Madrid), and source if they were born in Madrid or not (something I could not give a bigger sh** about). The not-that-explicit "From Madrid" formulation is more comfy. Anyway, feel everyone free to move the images in this not-very-useful-category to wherever you think it's better, and give it the name you prefer. As far as I'm concerned you could even delete "People from Madrid" and "Births in Madrid", both of them. strakhov (talk) 15:09, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
- By the way, in Category:Births in Madrid and Category:Deaths in Madrid I'd categorize images of people being born in Madrid and dying in Madrid. I mean, this is for me a death in Madrid: Category:Engravings of the death of Alfonso XII of Spain. On the contrary, this one (File:Retrato de Alfonso XII con uniforme de gala (Palacio de Aranjuez).jpg) (in fact it isn't even Category:Madrid but Category:Aranjuez) is not a "death" but a "person". So it may be better something like "People born in Madrid" and "People (who?) died in Madrid". strakhov (talk) 15:58, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
- So, first option, I'd move this category to Category:People born in Madrid, I'd reserve Category:Births in Madrid for little-babies-being-born-in-this-city and Category:Deaths in Madrid for people dying in Madrid (and related events: funerals, etc). And I would never create a category in Commons for people who just happened to die in Madrid.
- If not possible because the "category tree" of Births and Deaths is too much established, it's ok for me merging this one with "Births in Madrid", although hypothetical subcats such as "Paintings of births in Madrid, "Engravings of births in Madrid" (Category:Engravings of people from Madrid) or "Births in Madrid in art" would be too much confusing. strakhov (talk) 16:19, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
- Merged. strakhov (talk) 18:02, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
