List?[edit]

Why is there not a single list that would include ALL persons who died from cancer?

To me Categories are there to help make researching a subject easier; they generate lists I can work from. I don't want to have to call up a zillion separate lists to, for example, find all persons who died from cancer. (As morbid as this sounds, someone's got to do it).

Please help me to understand what problems it presents to place both "Category:Cancer deaths" and, say, "Category:Deaths from stomach cancer" in the same Article. Michael David 18:49, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

When subcategories are present, the parent category is superfluous. A subject who died of lung cancer in Los Angeles would have the cats Cancer deaths in California and Deaths from lung cancer on his article, both of which are subcats of this cat. Qzm (talk) 03:08, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Subcategories[edit]

The subcategories should all appear on the first page. It's bad programming that puts them spread between many, many pages. Badagnani 06:04, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a category tree, so all subcategories can be seen listed on all pages. --Paul A 07:04, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Category size[edit]

Even after subdivision by type of cancer, this category remains quite large. Is there any other decent way we could break these articles down into subcategories? Would it make sense to have cancer deaths by country? Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 00:39, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It does; we do. Qzm (talk) 03:08, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Um yeah, we do now. I asked a year ago, when we didn't. :) Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 03:19, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
