Improper naming convention, at minimum needs a rename to use "Wikipedian" instead of user, and to conform with the current naming convention of Category: Wikipedians by profession. Also wouldn't oppose deletion as I don't particularly think categorizing by profession is a good idea (WP:NOR issues come up in the discussion around the logic of keeping such categories).

Such categories have been deemed not appropriate for Wikipedia per unanimous precedent at Wikipedia:User_categories_for_discussion/Archive/Topical_index#Wikipedians_by_medical_condition. Likely joke category, anyway. VegaDark (talk) 01:22, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
