This discussion of one or several categories is now closed. Please do not make any edits to this archive.

The category description here says its for specific statues. Should this category also contain categories for statues of specific people (e.g. Category:Equestrian statues of Alexander the Great) or does that require a separate category? Should this category be renamed "Equestrian statues by title" for the sake of clarity? Themightyquill (talk) 08:26, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Themightyquill: Category:Equestrian statues by name should only contain categories with the name of the work in the name of the category. Category:Equestrian statues of Alexander the Great could be in Category:Equestrian statues by subject or some such, as Alexander is the name of the subject of the work, not the name of the work itself. This category should be cleaned up as a result. Josh (talk) 23:23, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Joshbaumgartner: That makes sense, unless we want to use Category:Equestrian statues by equestrian (in Category:Equestrians). My only concern with "by subject" is that it could refer to the horse, rather than the rider, but I don't suppose that really matters either. - Themightyquill (talk) 09:32, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Themightyquill: I am certainly fine with that. Josh (talk) 17:08, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
