    People pages normally don’t have their research area as a category

    I disagree. Clicking on category/subject of the entry lists all pages related to the subject and I find it useful to have the names in the subject there as well. I put subject in a number of person entries which I created.

    In general, category tags are independent and the more correct ones we use the more useful the tags are, in my opinion.

    Of course, I do understand the subtlety that people are never reducible to the subject of (main) interest, but we anyway write “related web pages”, invading this personal image anyway, to an extent.

    Conversely, the subject is in a sense independent from well-known or say lab-populated people names, and there is some value in not populating its description this way. Urs was many times claiming that he prefers descriptive names than people names when referring to famous theorems, theories or notions, though we often have no choice against the tradition.
