Category talk:Humans of unknown or variable occupation

Prop delete
I've added a tag to this category because I don't feel it is necessary.

We have Category:Humans with unknown names and Category:Humans from unknown eras to take care of categorizing any human. This is all that is necessary to make sure every human is categorized. Not everyone even has a job/occupation, especially in the far future of the DWU.

Keeping this category could lead to other unnecessary categories like "humans with unknown parents".

I just don't think it's a good idea to have too many categories where we use the word "unknown". Shambala108 ☎  21:48, June 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * I've created this category after unsuccessfully trying to identify Beatrix Butcher, David Tyler and Heinz (The Silver Turk) as humans. Nothing is known about Beatrix and David's jobs, despite having full names and exact century, which prevents using the above two categories. Heinz worked as a helper/usher at performances of the Silver Turk at the Vienna Exposition. Again, we know his first name and exact year. I went through the whole subtree of Category:Humans and could not find anything for them. My first solution was to put them directly into "Humans". I was soon sorted out by MystExplorer: Humans is a supercategory and does not admit page members. So this was my second attempt: given three pages that cannot be humanised any other way, I thought of collecting such individuals in a catch-all job. I'd be happy if a cleaner solution exists. I mean it might be possible to invent some description for Heinz's job although it was never named. But then there would be no guarantee to have three such individuals. But Beatrix and David defy any categorisation by job. They're not stated to be unemployed. But their job is also not stated. This really must be a common occurrence: somebody's child, somebody's sister if mentioned in passing would fall into this group (somebody's mother, however, would not as she would be Category:Human biological mothers. Let me get back with more examples.
