Query

What does "Nationality is reflected by the occupation category" mean? Occuli (talk) 20:43, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

  1. What does "Nationality is reflected by the occupation category" mean?
  2. What does "The place of birth is rarely notable" mean? Does it mean "rarely relevant to nationality" or perhaps "cannot be assumed to confer nationality"? Occuli (talk) 15:20, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

See Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions (categories)#Residence:

  • Residential categories should not be used to record people that have never resided in that place. Nationality is reflected by the occupation category (above), not country or county or city of residence.
    • The place of birth is rarely notable.
