Category talk:Pensioners

Candidate for deletion?
I have to say that I'm not at all sure about this category on two grounds: 1) What are we actually telling ourselves and our readers by saying someone is a pensioner? We might as well create categories for children, babies or teenagers (that is NOT a suggestion!). Categories should be used to link disparate characters who have connections which would otherwise be unclear, such as residents of houses or staff at long-standing working places in the street such as the corner shop or the Rovers. Categorising to this extent is trivial in the extreme. 2) I have grave doubts about some of the characters included in this category. If people such as Lucille and Irma are still alive then, yes, they are of pensionable age but to say they are alive is wholly assumptive and not what we are about - we post facts and only facts, no assumptions and no opinions, like any good encyclopaedia. Thoughts?--Jtomlin1uk (talk) 19:20, May 31, 2013 (UTC)
