Category:Politically correct terms

I think this should be Category:Politically correct, per Category:Obsolete, not Category:Obsolete terms. I actually think it's a good idea, just difficult to manage in reality because it's chiefly subjective. Mglovesfun (talk) 20:07, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

• I don't mind the category, but I do object to very many of the terms currently included in it. Which suggests the whole thing is, as you say, nightmarishly subjective. Ƿidsiþ 11:25, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
  • Yes I agree, though things like {{slang}}, {{obsolete}}, {{pejorative}} and {{archaic}} ought to be equally as subjective. I'd have trouble saying why this is any worse than those. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:44, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
    • BTW from Wiktionary:Categorization#Topic "Each name of a topical category refers to the objects or meanings referred to by words that are members of the category; the name does not refer to the member words themselves. Thus, there is "Category:Chemistry" rather than "Category:Chemical terminology" or "Category:Chemical terms", or there is "Category:Animals" rather than "Category:Animal names"." So this is indeed an invalid, unless than paragraph is disputed. Mglovesfun (talk) 23:17, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Striking, granted. --Mglovesfun (talk) 10:07, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
