Category talk:American politician stubs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I see that there is a Maryland subcategory for this. Should we create stub-sub-categories for all 50 states? Runnerupnj 05:43, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

I added a California subcategory but I'm not sure how to find things to put in it other than trial-and-error in the main American-politician-stub category, which would make more sense if we had all 50 states available. icydid 18:55, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Hello, I've been creating quite a few am pol stubs as I write or expand articles about federal government. I think it would be usefull to divide them by state. I'm going to start a list here until officially start new stubs.--FloNight 06:44, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sorting by state

I am trying to sort US politicians by state, but I am not sure about meaning of the main category and the subcategories. When I encounter mayor of LA, it is clearly local politician from California and therefore falls into the category California Politicians. On the other hand, US Congressman elected from LA is not that clear case. In fact he is US Politician rather than California politician. But this logic would mean that US Politicians category would never be empty and sorted into state categories. The option is to make "global us politicians subcategory. What are your suggestions for sorting these articles? --Jan Smolik 13:40, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

I think this is less of a problem, as they do represent a defined geographical region, than someone like Harold Ickes is more well known for his work at the White House than for any geographical region. There are other politicians, Donald Rumsfeld, for instance, that seem more well known nationally than for being associated for any one geographical region.Barkeep49 03:55, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

What are we supposed to do with people who served only at the national level (e.g. cabinet secretaries) and didn't serve at the state or local level or represent a state or district in Congress. Should they be categoried according to their home state? What if they lived in various states? Should we leave them in US Politician and if so is there some way to mark them as reviewed?
