- The result of the discussion was: keep. bibliomaniac15 05:44, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
- Propose upmerging Category:1071 births to Category:1070s births
- Nominator's rationale This category only has 1 entry. This far back many people we only have an approximate birth date, and some of the categorization is just a reflection of how arbitrary the precision of the sourcing is. These small 1 person birth year categories do not aid in navigation.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:41, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
- Comment, births by year go all the way back to the 12th century BC. I do not disagree with nominator but it will require a broader nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:59, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose. The year of birth is fundamental biographic information, and part of a long-established series. The by-year categories for the 11th century are generally well-populated. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 06:41, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
- They are over populated with people who are only stated to be born about that particular year.John Pack Lambert (talk) 11:57, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose Per BrownHairedGirl's argument. Dimadick (talk) 09:36, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose This one happens to be a small category, but several of the other annual categories in the target are well enough populated for us to keep. There are also a lot of articles in the target category, some of which may be able to be dispersed into the annual ones. I support the principle of eliminating small annual categories where all the siblings are also small, but that is not the case here. Even when the year is appropximate, it may be better to have c.1074 in 1074, rather than in a more general 1070s category. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:17, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
