=== By country ===

=== By country ===

I propose [[:Category:Death by country|Dead wo/men by country]], as to variate from the prevailing proposal of "by time" in this discussion. This can be actually perfect as the "Death by country" scheme is to date relatively underdeveloped and attribution of past-people to the Death-by-country pool lacks. [[:Category:Death in Serbia]] for this matter can have a sub[[:category:Dead people of Serbia]] where we further store [[:Category:Dead men of Serbia|Dead men of Serbia]] for males and [[:Category:Dead women of Serbia|Dead women of Serbia]] for females, thus removing from [[:Category:Vladislav Petković Dis|Vladislav Petković]] the category "[[:Category:Men of Serbia|Men of Serbia]]" and re-tagging him with "Dead men of Serbia" – in turn listed at both "[[:Category:Dead men by country|Dead men by country]]" and "Men of Serbia". As said earlier on this page, notably plenty of personalities on Commons (as [[:Category:Slobodan Milošević|Slobodan Milošević]]) don't currently give any idea as to the person's sex! (in both dead and living,, like [http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Diana_Dragutinovi%C4%87&oldid=70879092 this one]) [[User:Orrling|Orrling]][[User talk:Orrling|talk]] 17:54, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

=== A new proposal ===

+
As some of you may have noticed, in the last few days I have made all the "Xth-century men" and "Xth-century women" categories through the 19th century subcategories of "Dead men" and "Dead women", respectively, since anyone who was an adult in those centuries has now died. This greatly reduces the number of categories that need to be separately placed in "Dead men" and "Dead women"; we mostly need to worry only about people from the 20th and 21st centuries (i.e. people who ''could'' still be alive, but are not). Any comments? [[User:Gildir|Gildir]] ([[User talk:Gildir|talk]]) 22:42, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
