Taxonomies of fame :-)

Private User has pointed out that this project is now large and sprawling enough to need some tweaking of categories.

These are categories people have added so far:

World Famous Notable SA Personalities
Nobel Prize Winners
Scientists, Environmentalists, Engineers & Inventors
Food and Beverages:
Military Heroes
Writers
Artists
Entertainers
Anthropologists
Convicted Criminals
Political Leaders
Fighters for Freedom from Oppression & Peaceful Activists
Sports Men and Women
Heroes and Heroines
Mining Greats
Traders:
Prophets
Chief Rabbis:
Titanic Survivors and Casualties with South African Connections
Personal Stories

The great thing about this project is that it is loose enough that people have felt happy to add their own categories of fame - which has made it a much loved and used SA project. We don't want t lose that user-friendliness - so we need quite broad overarching categories, in my opinion.

Very interesting, many if not most of these categories have the potential to become individual projects themselves. However, the broad and overarching project as it currently stands is very welcoming and easy to navigate as a one-stop shop for everything SA Famous:)

Like it!

Yes - I thought that too - but I'm definitely not looking to create sub projects - this one isn't unwieldy - and it works. Don't fix it if it ain't broke :-)
