Opinions wanted: How should "personnel" from the early Manhattan Project days, when Los Alamos was not yet a "national laboratory" in the modern sense, be handled? (Just as a review, what is now Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) started out simply as "Site Y" in the overall Manhattan Project before becoming the "Los Alamos Laboratory", was renamed "Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory" (LASL) after World War II when it became clear it was going to be around for a while, and was given its current name in 1981.) There is obvious continuity between LASL and LANL, and it is clearly appropriate to consider "LASL personnel" to fall into this category. But how about those whose careers at Los Alamos ended with the end of the ancestral Manhattan Project? Is there a reasonable sub-category for those people, or should they just be lumped in here as well? My own preference is for the latter, but let's discuss. -- Bill-on-the-Hill (talk) 18:37, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Bump. There has been no discussion of this for two and a half years, and with Category:Manhattan Project people getting sadly populated by more and more deceased participants, it seems as though something should be done to reconcile the two categories, which obviously overlap greatly (but not completely). -- Bill-on-the-Hill (talk) 13:57, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
