There has been some back-and-forth editing of categories for this article, in particular regarding Category:Comedians from Vancouver. I would note that Frances was based in the Vancouver, British Columbia, comedy scene for at least the first half of her career (1990–2005+), that's where she trained and was influenced. Also, Langley and Maple Ridge are both in the Greater Vancouver Regional District, if where she was born or raised is an issue. Douglas College is likewise located in Metro Vancouver. I feel that the subject's association with Vancouver is prominent enough to be a defining characteristic and included as a category. If you disagree, please discuss here. Note that further disruptive editing may bring sanctions for edit warring. Thanks. – Reidgreg (talk) 15:53, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
