Advice for categorization of Gant-1193?

Question

I would like advice or may need help creating a new category for the profile of Brian Reginald Gant. The category might be named something like North American Soccer League.

Could I also get help creating the new category Soccer Player? Or is there an existing category to use? Thank you!

Answer 1

We normally don't categorize a profile to the entire league unless they were a founder or something, so I am adding the category for the team he was part of. Also, it looks like this person is a notable, so you should add the notables project as a co-manager. He's a living notable.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Gant

You should add [[Category: Vancouver Whitecaps (1974–1984]] to his profile.

Also, since the sport is known as soccer in North America, I am adding [[Category:Soccer Players]]

Comments

Thank you for adding [[Category:Soccer Players]].

I see your point about the league name. Can you please then create just the team name instead? [[Category:Portland Timbers]]

I created Vancouver's team, so add that one. I'll get Portland in a minute.
