WeRelate:Famous categories

There are approximately 165,000 pages for people at Wikipedia. The following is a list of categories that appear on these pages. They have been organized into a dozen super-categories, followed by an Other super-category that contains Wikipedia categories that don't fall into any super-category.

Counts next to each category identify the number of Wikipedia person pages in that category. (These numbers are about 10% lower than they should be.)

Counts under each super-category sum up the counts of the categories within the super-category. (These numbers over-count the actual number of people in each super-category because some people belong to multiple categories within the super-category.)

Keywords under each super-category identify the words used to determine whether a Wikipedia category belongs in the super-category.
