Applying defining example[edit]

I have just applied Category:Words coined in the 1990stoTalent management. Is this defining? Ottawahitech (talk) 11:19, 16 October 2015 (UTC) please ping me[reply]

Li Ka-shing[edit]

I have just added Category:Hong Kong chairpersons of corporationstoLi Ka-shing. Is this a defining characteristic of this individual? Ottawahitech (talk) 14:59, 31 October 2015 (UTC)please ping me[reply]

Source of the rule[edit]

Where did this rule about "definingness" of categories originate? Was there broad consensus or was it a close call? It is much more restrictive than in other language versions of Wikipedia, and has drawbacks, though I understand the aim of avoiding overcategorization. Could anyone provide a link to the deliberation which produced this criterion? Baronnet (talk) 15:52, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
