Move to Category:European Union people to clarify that it's not for any resident of the European Union. Themightyquill (talk) 10:49, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
- Not sure that this clarifies anything. At first read, both are just two ways to say the same thing. Is there a standard of "people of organization" or "organization people" always meaning people who are associated with that organization? From what I can tell these are used interchangeably. This is perhaps something we should look to rectify? Josh (talk) 15:35, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
- There isn't a standard of "people of organization" or "organization people" (we use both) but, in most cases, there's no potential for confusion. One can't be a resident of the Red Cross, after all. But we do have a standard of "people of country" for residents/citizens ie Category:People of the United States. So in this case, I think Category:People of the European Union is ambiguous. - Themightyquill (talk) 10:40, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
- True, there aren't too many organizations that are simultaneously a place you can live...even countries have a seperate name for the government. To your example, in the US, residents are Category:People of the United States while government people are Category:United States government officials. What about Category:European Union officials? At any rate, I think I would prefer "organization people" as a general guide for organizations with "people of country/organization/etc" for residents of that entity. So I support your proposal whether it is people, officials, or something else appropriate. Josh (talk) 17:53, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
- I think Category:European Union officials is a superior alternative. Category:European Union people does not resolve the ambiguity for me. – BMacZero (🗩) 16:05, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

- Category:European Union officials seems a little weird to me since it's a subcategory of Category:People by organization but it seems to be a general term for anyone working for the EU from administration up so I won't protest. - Themightyquill (talk) 15:16, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
