I find it intriguing that the category, Category:Recipients of the Padma Vibhushan<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Recipients_of_the_Padma_Vibhushan>[1] has been nominated for deletion here<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2012_M…>[2] and that the primary rationale that has been give by the nominator is "*Nominator's rationale* award categories are generally discoraged. This is India's second highest civilian award, meaning there is a higher ranking award of the same type. This seems to just be asking for having people in multiple award categories. We should generally categorize people by what they did, not what awards they got because they did what they did." While Category:Presidential_Citizens_Medal_recipients<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Presidential_Citizens_Medal_recipients>[3] remains steadfast. I mean, if you plan to delete categories of a country's second highest civilian honour, should you not start with your own? Or I am out of line here in assuming the age old saying, "Treat others as you wish to be treated yourself"?
