Category was useful and was emptied without a reason. Now, in Category:Oos River along the Lichtentaler Allee and Category:Lichtentaler Allee the famous bridges are missing, in Category:Bridges over Oos River many categories lack a "street" or similar category. --Sitacuisses (talk) 12:28, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The category Category: Bridges over Oos River in the Lichtentaler Allee is unnecessary. I emptied it by moving the files to newly created, more specific categories. These new categories contain clear location references in their names and/or documentation. All bridges over the Oos should be presented together in one category in the order of their location from the source to the mouth of the river. -- Gerd Eichmann (talk) 05:48, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  1. The list of subcategories in "Buildings in Interlaken" is already quite long and it's easy to oversea one of the sub-categories. Therefore a few questions: Could we add sections to the list instead of sorting it from A-Z: A) Publicly used buildings (museums, postoffices, churches aso.) B) privately used buildings (chalets, villas, barns aso.) C) Industrial+commercial (offices, hotels, cafés, bars etc.) D) Other structures (architectural elements, monuments, fountains etc.).
  2. There is a subcatagory «Buildings in Interlaken by name». Question: would it be possible to add another one: «Buildings in Interlaken by construction» (Chalets, glassbuildings, Stone)? Reason: Most categories relate to the type of use (Privat, business, industrial, touristic). «Chalets in Interlaken» could fit in any of these categories.
  3. Three similar subcategories: "Houses in Interlaken", «Revenue houses in Interlaken» and «Residential houses in Interlaken». I think, one of these categories is enough?

Just an idea. Rectilinium (talk) 02:47, 18 May 2024 (UTC) / Translated Rectilinium (talk) 06:22, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Yes, you can make intermediate categories. Please see for instance Category:Buildings by function for correct category names.
  2. You may have a category Category:Buildings by material for Interlaken. But please do not mix chalets and materials. And are ALL chalets in Interlaken used for privat, business, industrial and touristic reasons? If not, see Category:Chalets for correct parent categories for the main category; a subcategory for one chalet (or a group of chalets) can have an extra parent, depending on the use of the chalet.
  3. Usually the first one would be enough. You may make a subcategory Category:Vacation homes for Interlaken for the "Revenue houses".
So in general: look at the main category (far up in the category structure/tree) and see what the possibilities are for correct category names. JopkeB (talk) 05:57, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category claims "Works by Justin bieber" but the uploader of the single picture in the category claims the picture is their own work, meaning the category is wrong. LeeGer (talk) 07:00, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • In any case if kept it should be capitalized. Crouch, Swale (talk) 13:10, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The image is clearly miscategorized, as it is attributed to the uploader, and there is no reason to believe it was taken by Justin Bieber. I've recatted it up to Justin Bieber in case it is somehow Bieber-related (maybe the subject is portraying one of his looks) and I'm not Bieber-expert enough to determine it has nothing at all to do with him. The category is now empty and can be speedy deleted. Hopefully one day Mr. Bieber will become a Commons contributor and this can be recreated with legitimate content at that time.

What is the difference between Category:Visitor centres and Category:Information centers? Can both have descriptions showing the differences OR can both be merged (like in EN-WP)? JopkeB (talk) 08:33, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep both — According to Wikidata, an information center is a "place where information is given out", and a visitor center is a "combination of tourist center and museum directly related to a point of interest or the local area". An information center provides information for tourists/visitors, while a visitor center is a combination of an information center and a museum. For instance, the Government of India Tourist Office in New Delhi is a mere information center, while the Category:Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida is both an information center and a museum. Apologies for providing examples from different hemispheres, but it is clear that "information center" and "visitor center" are not synonymous. Sbb1413 (he) (talkcontribs) 08:11, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Sb1413. So:
JopkeB (talk) 15:58, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep both. I agree with Sbb1413 that they are distinct. Visitor centres may be a sub-cat of Information centers, but not all information centers are visitor or tourist centers. If FEMA sets up a trailer in the wake of a disaster providing information to citizens about how to get supplies and apply for assistance, that is an information center but I don't think we'd consider it a visitor/tourist center. At the courthouse, there is a small office near the entrance has an "Information" sign and helps folks figure out where the courtroom they need is, or which office they need to go to for the business they have. That might cater to visitors to the building but it doesn't really make sense to call it a visitor center as the courthouse isn't really a touristic place...it is really an information center. Josh (talk) 09:39, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Conclusions and actions

[edit]
  1. Both categories should stay because they are about distinct subjects.
  2. An information center is a place where information is given out to visitors, not necessarily being tourists. Example: visitors of a courthouse.
    1. Libraries, archives and similar institutions are not information centers. Category:Angeles City Library and Information Center‎ should be removed as a subcategory.
    2. Category:Information centers should not be renamed to Category:Tourist centers or Category:Tourist information centres because they are not all for tourists.
  3. A visitor center is a combination of tourist center and a (touristic) place of interest, like a museum.
    1. Visitor centres may be a sub-cat of Information centers.

Actions to be taken:

Overcategorization in Category:Space Jam

[edit]

Huge amount (+100) of metacats created for Space Jam made by an IP user, most of which are empty or only contain one file (Space Jam including all its subcategories has about 20 files in total). This affects other franchises as well (Steamboat Willie, Mickey Mouse, The Lego Movie, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Scooby-Doo and Scoob!) for which I made separate CfD's.

All of these should be deleted.

This one is more tricky. At least Category:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012 TV series) characters‎ has a lot of subcategories. My advise: delete only the empty ones and the ones with only one or two subcategories. JopkeB (talk) 07:07, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand that category. Many of the subcats are explicitly mentioning a completely different TV show released 30 years ago. What are they even doing here? Trade (talk) 00:34, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And why are Category:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012 TV series) a subcategory of Category:Leonardo (2012, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)‎? And Category:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012) cast‎ a subcat of Category:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012 TV series)‎??

Category and all its subcats should be renamed to "Red Eye" to comply with Commons' category naming guidelines (COM:CATNAME). The category also contains an excessive amount of subcategories that should be trimmed extensively, to name one example see Category:RED ƎYE characters by body part and all its subcats. ReneeWrites (talk) 11:09, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ReneeWrites,
The official spelling of our company is "RED ƎYE" (in capital letters) but we had to register it with the spelling "RED 3YE" since the character "Ǝ" is not accepted by the French administration. "RED EYE" is only used for pronunciation but might match other companies. If using capital letters goes against the rules, we are fine with using lowercase instead, but using "3" instead of "Ǝ" is more appropriate than using "E".
In all cases, we will comply with your rules and choices
As for the categories, we based ourselves on general categories to establish an identical scheme, with the desire in mind to be as accurate as possible. We still have files to upload but perhaps should we have published them first and created the categories after. If we have not acted in the right way, please accept our apologies. We remain attentive to your advice.
Anyway, we are stopping our edits for the moment, waiting for all this to be resolved and in order to avoid wasting time if our work has to be deleted.
Thanks for your understanding,
Kind regards,
RED🔴ƎYE (talk) 06:32, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@REDƎYE: I appreciate your reply (both here and in the Village Pump). Having the categories renamed as Red3ye or Red 3ye would be okay too, if that has your preference I'll change that in the original post.
It's generally speaking best practise to upload files first and then diffuse after if the categories get too big, yes. It's also more beneficial to people who are looking for certain files to have short category trees rather than very long ones, so they're able to find what they're looking for more quickly (or if they're looking for something that isn't there, to be able to find that out more quickly as well). I didn't ask for all these categories to be deleted after all, just for them to be trimmed. Trade made a helpful propsal of what that could look like below.
Between this CfD and the deletion discussion that was posted to your page a month ago, I'm sorry if Commons has been a stressful experience for you lately. ReneeWrites (talk) 18:21, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't agree with either name. Commons categories are supposed to use generally used titles and names, not whatever stylizing that the company decided to use in marketing Trade (talk) 13:49, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Trade,
What would you suggest?
Kind regards,
RED🔴ƎYE (talk) 03:56, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Red Eye (company) Trade (talk) 12:18, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Trade,
Thanks for your reply
The problem is that it's not the correct spelling. As we indicated above, we were declared to the French administration under the name Red 3ye Productions (the "3" replacing the unauthorized "Ǝ "). You can check it here, as well as on any other recognized register. If the decision is to call us Red Eye despite everything, we will accept it, but it will cause confusion with other companies bearing this name (the choice of "E"/"3" was precisely made to distinguish us).
Thanks for your understanding,
Kind regards,
RED🔴ƎYE (talk) 03:57, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi ReneeWrites,
You are welcome
Regarding the name, we just checked on the official records, it would be exactly Red 3ye Productions ([1]).
As for categories, from how many files is it advisable to subcategorize? Thanks to Trade for taking the time to make this proposal.
As for this CfD and the deletion discussion, we understand the process so that's ok, don't mention it

-- ReneeWrites (talk) 07:05, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe it isn't clear, but if an image goes into Category:RED ƎYE Pictures banners and Category:Basque-language banners that doesn't mean one needs to create a Category:RED ƎYE Pictures banners in Basque for that file. One just adds it into Category:RED ƎYE Pictures banners and Category:Basque-language banners. Enhancing999 (talk) 12:36, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Enhancing999: That would be rather foolish of me to do if that was a category I listed and an argument I made, but I haven't, and didn't. Maybe before you start being incredibly condescending to other Commons users, make sure you're actually replying to something they said, and not something you just made up. Preferably though you keep that attitude to yourself and just reply like a normal person instead, even if I did make a mistake. ReneeWrites (talk) 14:00, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you have an objection to the categories I listed specifically, please do so, but you can do so in a polite manner. ReneeWrites (talk) 14:03, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe I should have started with TLD. It's an observation on the subcategories created (not by you), not something you wrote (or "Trade" did, for some reason their name is the default edit summary).
Clearly it does seem what happened if one goes through ca. 60 categories with 1 file each. Possibly the same with all others. Enhancing999 (talk) 14:07, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for doing this, but we should still should answer the creators question: "As for categories, from how many files is it advisable to subcategorize? " [2]. Otherwise we will end up with the same again. Personally, I think my comment answers it [3]. Enhancing999 (talk) 06:37, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just for the record: in How many files and/or subcategories should a Commons category at least have? the conclusion after a long discussion was that there is no agreement about the minimum number of files in a (sub-)category. So to me it seems useless to start that discussion all over again. --JopkeB (talk) 04:30, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's the general question, but for this specific field and user (and its imitator(s)), I think we can provide some guidance (which I think I did). We need to keep this sane for users. (BTW, I do appreciate the cleanup done here). Enhancing999 (talk) 08:48, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is currently a dab pointing to different types of football. While I agree that the term "football" is ambiguous globally, it does not mean that we cannot use this term as a container for all types of football. Because of the current situation of this category, categories like Football organizations and Football by location have remained as "orphan" categories without any connection to the parent topic.

What is the difference between Category:Cucumis sativus by country and Category:Cucumbers by country‎? Can these two categories be merged? (The last one to stay because that is more clear for me and I guess for a lot of other people.) JopkeB (talk) 15:05, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My best understanding is that Cucumis sativus is the plant as a whole and 'cucumber' is the fruit of the plant. I'm very confused as to exactly where the scientific name for a species is used and where the common name for it is used. However, what is definitely not correct is using both as is done in several of the sub-cats of this one. Josh (talk) 08:46, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Joshbaumgartner: So in principle these two categories are about two different things and should both stay.
Am I right? JopkeB (talk) 14:40, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JopkeB I would agree with that. I've kind of skirted species categorization questions so far as it seems kind of its own community and biology was my least preferred science class so I feel under-equipped to discuss scientific categorization there. However, what you are saying makes sense, so unless someone from that community wants to correct us, I would be fine with your plan. Thanks, Josh (talk) 16:14, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Minerva97: I don't know. When I created it, many years ago, it contained this photo which @Joofjoof: nominated for deletion in spite of being substantially a PD photo. In this case there's no need to discuss, report the empty category to an admin for the deletion. -- Blackcat 17:09, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Delete As I said, this person passed away 18 years ago. If the category wasn't populated yet, it won't be populated too soon. So , in my opinion, it should be deleted.

 Comment @Mdaniels5757: please don't misquote me. The speedy deletion criteria is "[if] a category is empty and is obviously unusable, unlikely to be ever meaningfully used", and as such a WD attached category is less likely to meet the criteria for speedy deletion. This deletion process is what I pointed the user to use if they felt that a deletion was necessary. I have no specific knowledge nor attachment to the category. I will note that I also don't typically see much point in hastening these linked categories to death as it doesn't particularly serve a functional purpose and any re-creation also requires a relinking at WD, and recategorisation, so it is more than "simply recreate" [all of which is not a long conversation for here.]  — billinghurst sDrewth 12:08, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Category:Roofing by material into Category:Roofs by material "Roofing" is not a topic on Commons, so it doesn't make sense to have an index category of roofing. It seems an inadvertent duplication of the correct category, which is a useful index of the existing topic, Roofs. Josh (talk) 07:18, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If this collection of Maastricht is really named in English, I suggest renaming the categoriy as "Travels into the Unknown collection (Maastricht)". If the official name is in Dutch, I suggest keeping that one. Otherwise, this category name is prone to attract unwanted additions that have nothing to do with the library (like this one). Enyavar (talk) 21:51, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Agree This category should be renamed. It looks like it is a collection with an English name, I cannot find a name in Dutch.

Rename category to Category:Low quality images of Cyanistes caeruleus to match other low quality images by subject categories (e.g. Category:Low quality images of cats) in compliance with the Universality Principle. Josh (talk) 16:53, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@JopkeB, @A1Cafel, @MPF, pinging participants at previous discussion on this category. Josh (talk) 16:55, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Disagree - when dealing with scientific name taxa it makes much better sense to have the taxon name first, e.g. it sorts the subcategories better in Cat-a-lot and HotCat. There are numerous other similar examples, e.g. Category:Pinus nigra (low quality) (and compare also similar categories for images where the taxon is present but not the main subject, such as Category:Pinus nigra (incidental)). - MPF (talk) 17:09, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
MPF is right, see Category:Low quality images of plants: all these subcategories have the format Category:Scientific plant name (low quality) or Category:Scientific plant name (low quality images). So I agree that it is better not to rename this category. JopkeB (talk) 05:12, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Question @JopkeB, @MPF, does the logic for using the "Topic (image type)" format only apply to scientific names? If so, can you elaborate on how it is different from other topics? I ask because there are ongoing discussions about how we structure and name media categories in general, so this insight may be valuable to consider in those discussions. Josh (talk) 17:20, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I fear I've never stopped to think about that! Being a taxonomist, I don't in my editing ever deal with e.g. cat pics.

But one other, very important, point, is brevity: the shorter the category name, the better, as long as it is easily understood. Long category names make Cat-a-lot in particular almost impossible to use, as the width of the pop-up covers over many, or even most, of the files one is trying to select to recategorise. It isn't good with Hot Cat, either. - MPF (talk) 22:36, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Regardless of the order chosen, (low quality) should be changed to (low quality images) to make it clear what the category represents. We aren't collecting low quality plants, but low quality images of plants that may themselves be of quite high quality. Josh (talk) 17:20, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but again, I'd disagree: mainly on the principle of brevity mentioned above, but also one might want to use the (low quality) subcategory for dumping out poor audio or video files (e.g. if you can barely hear the named bird above background hiss). I doubt very much whether anyone would ever be confused by the meaning. - MPF (talk) 22:44, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Opera vocalist is not the terminology most widely used in common English or in major reference works. The term "opera singer" is commonly used both in speech and in reference works on the subject, such as The Grove Book of Opera Singers. The english language wikipedia categories all use the word singer. The entire category tree should be modified accordingly. Commons should mirror the English language wiki categories which were made by WikiProject Opera. On a side note, I actually have worked as a professional opera singer and I find the phrase "opera vocalist" odd, even if its is technically correct. 4meter4 (talk) 02:46, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Opera vocalist" is indeed awkward and unnatural. I agree that the more typical "Opera singer" seems vastly more suitable. Aza24 (talk) 03:11, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
See Category:Singers: it gives a redirect to Category:Vocalists. So on Commons we use the term "Vocalists", not "Singers", how awkward and unnatural it may sound. Though, it looks like that redirect was made with the creation of the category in 2007. My conclusion is that there never was a proper discussion about it. But then we should discuss it on the level of Category:Vocalists, not here. And it would be very much work to change that properly, because all the subcategories, grandchilds and so on, should also be changed. I wonder whether this is worth it. So my opinion is: Keep it the way it is. JopkeB (talk) 07:49, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I'm aware the whole "Super Straight" thing was mainly a transphobic internet meme that never took off. All the images in the category seem to be completely made up or copyrighted to. As there is no "Super Straight" flag outside of a few internet transphobic online message boards. It's by no means official or widely used outside of transphobic circles though. So my suggestion is that the images in this category be deleted along with files. Or at least the category be deleted and the files in it up-merged to Category:Controversial sexual and gender identities. I don't think we need a whole category just for a bunch of duplicate images of a transphobic and fake meme flag though. Adamant1 (talk) 06:26, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep the overall vibe I get is “I find this offensive”. Commons isn’t censored, so that’s invalid. There are plenty of absolutely non-notable made-up orientations and pride flags here so the argument that a concept we know exists “in the wild” is too obscure to be covered is also invalid. And even if you deleted a bunch of redundant ones you’d still have enough for a category. Also none of these files are copyrightable, even the google trends chart which is simple facts and data shown in an auto-generated graph that required no creative effort. Dronebogus (talk) 07:44, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Your vibe is wrong. I could really care less about it personally outside of it not being an actual, official concept. Nor do the files even really have anything to do with it either. Since again, the flag is completely fictional and that's essentially all there is in the category. Nice try making this about me though. I'd like to think it would be possible to discuss the actual merits of having a category for something like this without you treating me like I started it just because I'm offended by the thing. You can't just use Commons not being censored or hide behind fake claims of my feelings about this as an excuse to keep a category that serves no purpose and goes against the projects goals either. That's not how this works.
I think you could make an argument for keeping the category if it contained files that were actually about the whole "superstright" thing to begin with. But there's no point in having one for it if the only things on here related to the concept is a couple of images of fake flags. There's no reason they can't just be upmerged. The category is essentially worthless when it comes to anything actually having to do with the "superstraight" thing though. --Adamant1 (talk) 09:05, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Firstly, there is no need to get inordinately offended about me saying I think you’re offended. Secondly, It’s not an “actual official concept”, but it is an actual hoax/neologism. Thirdly, there’s no need to try and delete a category that you’re currently trying to empty anyway. As long as at least two images exist the category is valid. If most or all the images are deleted, then of course the category would serve no purpose. But right now this is purely redundant. Dronebogus (talk) 10:32, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"it is an actual hoax/neologism." Is it though and how would that even matter? Neologisms aren't inherently worth having seperate cateogries for and this has been around for at least a few years now with essentially zero buy in for it outside of a couple of posts on 4chan. If you look for "superstraight flag" on Google image search there doesn't seem to be any images of the "flags" actually being used IRL anywhere either. So I really don't see how this is an actual thing outside of being a barely notable meme. It wouldn't even be that much to begin with if not for the transphobic element. --Adamant1 (talk) 10:48, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I’m done responding to you here. You can answer me on the individual DRs. I stand by my assertion that this is a pointless and invalid nomination because the category is still serving an objective purpose. Dronebogus (talk) 10:55, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
OK. I'd still appreciate an answer about why you wouldn't support the images that are left after the DRs being upmerged though since I think I've provided plenty of evidence for why its not an actual thing regardless of if there are images related to it or not. --Adamant1 (talk) 11:09, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep. It should be ignored whether the sexuality in question is notable or not, whether it is offensive or not, whether it is a product of the far-right or not. Besides from the fact that Commons is not censored, if we analyze its existence in a purely technical manner it is evident that the category meets the requirements to continue existing, more specifically the 4th point of Commons:Category inclusion criteria: it is part of a diffusion scheme. Note to the nominator that there are several relevant categories in Category:Superstraight and, if it gets deleted, the files currently in it would be spread across various categories, making their finding costly. By the way, most if not all of the files are being nominated for deletion by this nominator; I can guarantee here that at least one will be kept, as it is below the threshold of originality in the United States, and at least one flag four flags must be kept, as it is they are Commons:In use.

@RodRabelo7: Can you point out where the guidelines say us not being censored has anything to do with the existence of specific categories? Because I must have missed that. Also, where exactly have I said this has anything to with it being offensive? You and Dronebogus seem to be the only one's who are making it about that. Not that I disagree that we don't censor things, but I don't see why any particular category or file should be kept simply because it relates to the topic of gender somehow. Yet unless I'm miss understanding you that seems to be your and Dronebogus' only argument against up merging the images to a better category. --Adamant1 (talk) 22:32, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Can you point out where the guidelines say us not being censored has anything to do with the existence of specific categories?
    It doesn't, that's why I used "besides".

    I'd say when you used the word "transphobic" five times throughout this discussion.

Maybe it's just an American English thing, but to me "besides" has the connotation of "in addition to." In other words, "in addition to the fact that Commons is not censored, if we analyze its existence in a purely technical manner" makes it sound like your saying the category should be kept because we anti-censorship "in addition to" the technical aspects. I don't really see why you'd bring it if you didn't think it was relevant to keeping the category or not either. Thanks for clarifying it though.
The "transphobic" thing is simply a description of the origins of the thing. Since I think the context is important to the question of it deserves a separate, individual category outside of other non-notable, niche memes on here that don't have one. The claim that my mention of it being transphobic has anything to do with it being offensive is simply you reading to much into it. As I already mentioned to Dronebogous "I could really care less about it personally outside of it not being an actual, official concept." --Adamant1 (talk) 22:46, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, sorry. In order to make it clear, I'll try to rewrite it: "It should be ignored whether the sexuality in question is notable or not, whether it is offensive or not, whether it is a product of the far-right or not; Commons is not censored, period. [Furthermore,] if we analyze its existence [blah blah blah]." RodRabelo7 (talk) 22:51, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep If your issue is that you believe the content files to be out of scope, then you should raise a deletion request for those. So long as they are on Commons, however, this appears to be a valid category for them to be under. If they do get deleted at some point and this category is empty as a result, it can be deleted at that time. Josh (talk) 08:32, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment does one paragraph in one article on Wikipedia justify an open-ended number of such images as being in scope? - Jmabel ! talk 19:39, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, and it’s not just “one paragraph in one article on Wikipedia”. In any case this is not the place to discuss files being in scope; this is about a category, and the category is clearly valid and useful as of now. Dronebogus (talk) 10:33, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]



 Not done: Clear consensus for keeping this category. --The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 22:11, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
