Hi Medarduss, thank you for creating the category. Two questions

is Category:Founders of Oxbridge colleges needed? We don't have Category:Fellows of Oxbridge colleges, for example.
do the members of the founding committtee(s) of Somerville College belong here? If so, I suggest a new category Category:Founders of Somerville College, Oxford.

Hi TSventon, I made this category when I was making several other Oxford-related ones and may have gotten a bit carried away aha. The category is probably not needed (though I would say it makes more sense than Category:Fellows of Oxbridge colleges, which would be a really wide category).

I think a separate category for Somerville is a good idea, especially because the founders seem to have played a much different role than a lot of the others i.e. Dorothy Wadham or Henry VIII. Medarduss (talk) 10:00, 23 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
