"There is a long-standing consensus at CFD against categorising people by where they were born. Per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (categories)#Residence, "the place of birth is rarely notable". The same guideline notes that People are sometimes categorized by notable residence, in the form People from Foo (not "Natives of Foo"), regardless of ethnicity, heritage, or nationality.
So, let's take the fictional example of Sean Citizen. Sean's parents lived in County Leitrim, which has no general hospital, so he was born in Sligo General Hospital, and he lived in Leitrim until he was 4. He then moved with his family to County Clare, where he went to school in Ennis. Having done well in his Leaving Cert, Sean studied Ology at a university in Dublin, and he got his first job in Cork city, where he lived for 7 years. Aged nearly 30, Sean moved to Dundalk, where he spent the rest of his life. In Dundalk, he realised that his long-standing attempts to get onto a local club's Gaelic Football team were futile, so he took to studying team management. After a few years of managing a local club which he took from no-hope status to the county championship, Sean became manager of the Louth GAA county team. The team's improved standing under his management generated quite a bit of news coverage over the years. Now, which county was Sean from? Leitrim, Sligo, Clare, Dublin, Cork or Louth? Answer: Louth. Per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (categories)#Residence, it is is Sean's only "notable residence".
Assuming these proposals meet with approval, I propose to nominate the entire tree structure for similar mass re-namings. Thank you. Laurel Lodged (talk) 22:34, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
Of course you're not at all bitter that I passed you in DYKs when you used to try to create as many as possible. Pretty much anybody else here would understand it is sarcastic humour rather than WP:POINT and an admin would silently delete them with a chuckle. It would be different if it was Female actors and Male actors, but if people are insisting on using the old term actress then the old masculine term "actor" still applies and "male actor" is not need to distinguish. ♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 20:00, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
