Category:Octogenarians[edit]

  • I'm somewhat surprised by the fact that Category:Nonagenarians turned out to be considered useless and thus deleted but this category did not. Any opinions on whether this is a useful category?? Georgia guy 21:16, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Hard to maintain. Not useful info - there's already a category for birth years. Do people who died in their 80's count? Or are they "former octogenarians"? -Willmcw 22:09, Mar 10, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. All the same arguments that played into the Nonagenarian category being deleted apply here. Courtland 23:20, 2005 Mar 10 (UTC)
  • Delete. This is too broad for even a list to be particularly useful. -Aranel ("Sarah") 23:25, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Same reasons as Nonagenarians. -Kbdank71 14:53, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. It's hard enough with all the catergories there are now. Ted Wilkes 19:48, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
