Needed category?
Do we need such a category? Personal articles here generally exist in relation to Tolkien and Tolkienology (be it artist, linguist, author etc). This capacity isn't important for their presence here, and Tolkien knew no computer scientists in his lifetime. Of course we have a category "Religious workers", but there were priests in Tolkien's environment. Sage (talk) 18:25, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
- It may not have any relevance to Tolkien the man, but some careers such as this one are common among Tolkien scholars. I would argue that the category is relevant, not to Tolkien himself, but to Tolkien studies and those who participate in it. Oromë (talk) 20:25, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
- Well, how do you argue that Julian C. Bradfield's and Carl Hostetter's careers as computer scientists are relevant to Tolkien studies in general, and their Tolkien research in particular? Notice that the category is populated only with 4 articles. Sage (talk) 09:19, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
