Are there any navigators who are not explorers?
[edit]It seems to me that basically everyone in the navigator catehory is in the explorer category. I think we should either make navigators a sub-cat of rlexplorers, or declare them overlap categories and basically limit the explorers Category to land based explorers. Either way the current 2 categories just lead to Category bloat.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:13, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
- I would think that there are, yes. For instance, Amelia Erhardt was a navigator, but didn't really explore anything. An explorer is someone who investigates new places or tries to, a navigator might just be looking for better or new ways to get to places that are already known? Like Charles Lindbergh? My 2c.

- Neither of those people are in the navigators category. They are in the aviators category. I am thinking explorers and navigators overlap so much that we should exclude all navigators from the explorers category.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:23, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
Proposed deletion
[edit]
The article Vincent of Scarning has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Not sufficiently notable; unsourced for five years; few sources to back it up and one, A History of Norwich School notes on page 86 that Vincent of Scarning actually doesn't appear in the list of headmasters. I suggest that it is sufficient that he is mentioned in the Norwich School article, as is currently the case
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

[edit]In the future, you can just ask me to update the template, instead of removing it [1]. I'm happy to update it, if you can point to the information. SMasonGarrison 00:42, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
Military personnel category name
[edit]I just came across the article on Juan Abalos de Mendoza. He is in the category Spanish muilitary personnel, even though he was a resident of the Viceroyalty of Peru his whole life. I am thinking we should rename military personnel categories to be Personnel of the Spanish military, Personnel of the German military, etc., to make it clear that the nationalities are modifying military, and that we include people in them based on the military they were a part of. Specifically we do not want a Spanish national who only served in the French Army to be in Spanish military personnel, only in French Military personnel, so we should name it Personnel of the French Military.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:37, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
