Introduction
Certain kinds of categorization can be the subject of controversy. In particular, articles are sometimes classified by
- Gender - e.g. Category:Women composers, Category:Female Nazis, Category:Male porn stars
- Race - e.g. Category:African American poets, Category:Black Canadians, Category:Indian Americans.
- Sexuality - e.g. Category:Gay athletes, Category:Lesbian politicians, Category:Bisexual actors
These discussions occasionally pop up on WP:CFD and tend to be controversial, and wildly varying in their outcome.
Please discuss these categorization schemes on talk page. This page will summarize the discussion and any consensus that is reached.
