Sometime, users keep putting back slavery-categories for this article. Perhaps because of the title of the article. This practice is indeed known in history as child auctions, but this was not slavery and should not be categorized as such. It was unfree labour and the article already has that category.--Aciram (talk) 16:41, 2 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
I feel need to answer because I just did the same mistake. The reason might be the cultural difference in understanding what slavery is. As far as I know in Finland child auctions are widely referred as slavery (and the Finnish article has the slavery category) but I agree that it is the best choice not to classify child auctions as slavery in English Wikipedia.
