Unititled comment

[edit]

This category and subcategories are misleading to the subject at hand - they emphasize "magnates" as a major category in business, implying that individual ownership and wealth are the main driver in the formation of business. This is an obsolete and misleading representation. --Leifern 23:23, 2005 Mar 31 (UTC)

I disagree. This is a category of business people / people in business; there's no attached commentary on how these people are the drivers of the economy. Since wiki articles are supposed to be about people of note, there will likely never be articles about stock room boys, mail clerks, etc. There is already Category:Labor unions, which includes sub-cats on unionists, etc. I don't see any practical/realistic way this cat could be expanded or renamed to satisfy your NPOV complaint.

The rejoinder is valid, because the POV is intrinsic to business biography as an endeavor, or to biography as a method in business studies, or whatchamacallit. --P64 16:45, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
