I see you've been reverting a few category additions made by an IP for being "Unnecessary parent categories." I've had a look at 2023 in the United States for example and that article also has these categories so I think that the IP is making the correct changes. Also, I've noticed they've been making these changes for about 6 hours straight (and sometimes making typos, so they aren't a robot) which is quite amazing. —Panamitsu (talk) 23:03, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As per WP:PARENTCAT: "Apart from certain exceptions (i.e. eponymous categories and non-diffusing subcategories – see below), an article should be categorised under the most specific branch in the category tree possible, without duplication in parent categories above it."

Oldest living state leaders

Howdy. FWIW, the mobile editor has returned, as an IP at List of oldest living state leaders, having promised to continue edit warring in their preference (concerning Saint Vincent and the Grenadines), to no end. GoodDay (talk) 00:43, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to an in-person meetup in Mohua / Golden Bay

Thinking about your summer break? Think about joining other Wikipedians and Wikimedians in Golden Bay / Mohua! Details are on the meetup page. There's heaps of interesting stuff to work on e.g. the oldest extant waka or New Zealand's oldest ongoing legal case. Or you may spend your time taking photos and then upload them.

Golden Bay is hard to get to and the airline flying into Tākaka uses small planes, so we are holding some seats from and to Wellington and we are offering attendees a $200 travel subsidy to help with costs.

Be in touch with Schwede66 if this event interests you and you'd like to discuss logistics. Schwede 66 09:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Charlotte Kretschmann

On Charlotte Kretschmann, you have insisted on keeping the "notability" tag for her article, and cite the AfD pages for Pearl Berg and Elizabeth Francis as reasons for doing so. This is despite the fact that simply being the oldest person in Germany is not the reason justified in general, or even for the edit you reverted of mine, for having her page.

WP:BIO gives clear criteria on whether a person is considered notable or not.

If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.

There are entire articles about Kretschmann spanning multiple years from The Local, Der Spiegel, Bild, and others that show in-depth coverage of her longevity.

Primary sources may be used to support content in an article, but they do not contribute toward proving the notability of a subject.

There is only one primary source in the entire article, and it is a link to her Instagram photo diary, and is only in supplement to 9 secondary in-line citations throughout the rest of the article. I fail to see what argument you have for questioning her notability for Wikipedia. EytanMelech (talk) 20:27, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

" and cite the AfD pages for Pearl Berg and Elizabeth Francis as reasons for doing so". WRONG! I did not mention them at all. There has been a long history of longevity fans creating articles on people who are notable only for being old. Except for most (NOT all) world's oldest person/man/woman articles, the majority of those articles were subsequently deleted for numerous reasons based on policy including WP:NOPAGE, WP:PERMASTUB, WP:BIO1E, WP:OTHERSTUFF, WP:TOOSOON.
