Categorisations[edit]

LoosingIt raised the question of WP:CATDEF and reverted my recent removal of some categories. To quote WP:CATDEF, "A central concept used in categorizing articles is that of the defining characteristics of a subject of the article. A defining characteristic is one that reliable sources commonly and consistently define the subject as having—such as nationality or notable profession (in the case of people), type of location or region (in the case of places), etc. For example, here: "Caravaggio, an Italian artist of the Baroque movement ...", Italian, artist, and Baroque may all be considered to be defining characteristics of the subject Caravaggio."

When people write of Karen Lee, do they write of her as "South Park High School alumni, Karen Lee" or "Thelma Walker, Labour MP and alumna of South Park High School". No, they don't. It is true she went to this school, but it's not a defining characteristic about her. It is not one that reliable sources refer to. Ergo, it should go.

Requested move 28 October 2019[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Consensus to not move for the time being. To avoid recentism, there appears to be rough consensus to revisit the question after the general election. (closed by non-admin page mover) SITH (talk) 14:27, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Karen Lee (politician) → Karen Lee
Karen Lee → Karen Lee (disambiguation)

– Updating my views of the last move. More views than all the others combined.[1] Unreal7 (talk) 21:21, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Mild oppose, at least for now. The politician has only been notable since she was elected to Parliament in 2017 and could quite easily disappear from view if she fails to hold her seat at the next election, which is a real possibility. With a general election looking likely before the end of the year I'd be inclined to leave this as is for the time being. PC78 (talk) 12:59, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose for now. Wafer-thin majority, and there's a general election on 12 December 2019. Narky Blert (talk) 13:29, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
