G2G: Advice for categorization of Cassells-62?

+5 votes
296 views

I would like advice or may need help creating a new category for the profile of Robert Alexander Cassells. The category might be named something like Merivale Public Cemetery, Ottawa, Ontario. Note that there are 3 contiguous cemeteries: Merivale Public, Merivale United and Merivale Anglican - each is managed by a different organization.

Could I get help creating the new category? Or is there an existing category to use? Thank you!

Thanks Richard.

Here is the category page I created using the guidance: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Merivale_Public_Cemetery%2C_Ottawa%2C_Ontario. Any feedback? 

Also, how far should I go in describing the three contiguous cemeteries for disambiguation purposes?


Looks to me like you've got it under control, Gary. And you're familiar with the three-cemeteries situation, so you can probably tell how far you need to go in the disambiguation effort. But over-documenting it would be preferable to under-documenting.
