Category talk:Government Actuaries

This category was created originally with the intention of handling Government Actuaries working for the British government only. There are departments of the same name in (at least) Australia and New Zealand, and departments with very similar functions in Canada and the U.S., called the Office of the Chief Actuary.

I think setting up subcategories category:British Government Actuaries, category:Australian Government Actuaries, etc., would be over-categorization for such a small profession. Accordingly I am setting this category up as a global subcategory of category:Actuaries and am removing this category from the purely British categories here, and instead am applying the latter categories, where appropriate, to the individual members of this category (so far, only one member).

This does not preclude establishing these national subcategories eventually, when there are sufficient articles to warrant it.

I have re-established the category at Category:Government Actuaries (United Kingdom). This was meant to be part of a complex categorisation structure for British civil servants and permanent secretaries and to make an exception for one department rather ruins this. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:49, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK, fair enough. At least we now have a sensible drill-down structure from category:Actuaries. --NSH001 (talk) 16:04, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
