I can see how burial categories for individual cemeteries can be of some significance, but categorization by country seems a bit ridiculous. The vast majority of people to be born, live, and die in any given country are buried in the same country - i.e. Category:Burials in Ireland should include nearly all dead Irishmen, and Category:Burials in Japan would thus include nearly all dead Japanese. How is this a useful method of categorization? LordAmeth 20:41, 7 August 2007 (UTC) reply
