Category talk:Political prisoners by country

This category was nominated for deletion on 21 July 2023. The result of the discussion was no consensus.

Scope

Piotrus, is it intended that the members of this category be according to the country holding the prisoner, or the home country of the prisoner? Seeing as they're named Fooian political prisoners, I'm assuming the latter, but then wouldn't Political prisoners by nationality be the more usual name? --Paul_012 (talk) 04:43, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Paul 012 This is indeed not always clear, and I recommend creating a mirror category "Prisoners in Fooland", so we can categorize people both by their nationality and by the country holding them. Occasionally those cases will not match, and we should clearify this. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:12, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I just saw the earlier CfD and subsequent DRV. It seems the entire scheme could use further discussion, though it's not quite within my current scope of interest... I'll just leave it here for now. --Paul_012 (talk) 16:06, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
