Category:Paintings by Hieronymus Bosch by location

and it's subcategories:

rason:

most museums own not more than one work by this painter
this category is in conflict with other subcategories in Category:Paintings by Jheronimus Bosch

Comment I do not see the conflict. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 14:37, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

when you put Category:Paintings by Hieronymus Bosch by location under Category:Paintings by Jheronimus Bosch (as it should be done) is causes an asymmetrical division between "just paintings" and "paintings by location", which I think is not desirable.

Commons has 362 categories in Category:Paintings by painter by museum - why should this one be a problem? /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 14:58, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Of this painter only 30 paintings are known divided over 19 museums. When you sort these paintings by location you will end up having 15 categories containing only 1 or a few files. That's too much I think. To avoid this I think it's better to sort paintings in museums by school, for example Category:Early Netherlandish paintings in the Kunsthistorisches Museum and Category:Early Netherlandish paintings in the Prado Museum.

Delete This seems not to be going anywhere. For some reason, Mattes who created the categories is not responding ... it would have been faster if you had marked the empty categories with {{Speedy}}. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 18:27, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
