I think we should discuss and finalize what kind of general information we want in the infoboxes and categories. I have seen a lot of categories added and I think we should discuss this.

Here is where it stands:

INFOBOXES


 * Name
 * Image
 * Birth date and place
 * Death date and place
 * Age
 * Country
 * Verification status (verified, unverified, pending, claim, myth)

Do we want to specifically include gender? Race? Anything else? We could include gender, but I think that would be enough.

As far as CATEGORIES...
 * Birth year
 * Death year
 * Birth country
 * Death country
 * Gender
 * Birth country subdivision (state, province, etc.)
 * Death country subdivision (state, province, etc.)
 * Nationality (sometimes multiple)
 * Verification status

On the subject of nationality, is it necessary to have "British," "American," and "British-American?"

As for birth country subdivisions, is this necessary? Would we go further into more subdivisions, such as counties (U.S.) or parishes?

I think the other categories are good enough.

Thoughts everyone? Greetings,

I think the Infoboxes are fine as they are for the moment, save that we want to switch "unverified" status to "unvalidated" status.

For the "Categories", I believe that more discussion is needed.

One issue is that of "subcategorization". For example, someone born in Georgia was also born in the USA, so "Georgia births" should be a "subcategory" of "USA births".Ryoung122 (talk) 17:52, January 19, 2017 (UTC)
