:@[[User:Nosferattus|Nosferattus]]_ Hi there! @[[User:Chaotic Enby|Chaotic Enby]] reverted my recent edit to change from [[:Category:Canadian novelists]] to [[:Category:Canadian male novelists]] to the article and directed me here. Since Maillard is non-binary (a statement in the article that I hadn't read at the time I made the edit), it's fine with me to not add the article to any "male" categories.
:Since the article is already in [[:Category:20th-century Canadian novelists]] and [[:Category:20th-century Canadian novelists]], would it be OK to remove [[:Category:Canadian novelists]] and [[:Category:Canadian poets]] per [[WP:PARENTCAT]]? Thanks! [[User:GoingBatty|GoingBatty]] ([[User talk:GoingBatty|talk]]) 02:42, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
::That is a good question. In many of these cases, people are typically diffused into multiple subcategories under a diffusion category based on different schemes: gender, country of origin, time period, etc. If a person is already diffused into 1 of those schemes, and they don't fit into another scheme's subcategories, should they just be omitted? A literal reading of [[WP:PARENTCAT]] would suggest that, but this also seems problematic as it means non-binary people will be put into half as many categories as everyone else and thus be harder to find.
