please consider that we always have one separate category strings for the artist and one separate string for the museum to find the files and not to hide them. To sort after museum is only a second sorting and not instead of categories by the artist. Oursana (talk) 02:54, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

@Oursana: I'm not sure I understand. If the image is in Category:Prints by Lucas Cranach (I) in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, then it's under categories for both the artist and the museum. Can you explain more what your concern is? -- Auntof6 (talk) 03:00, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

with Prints by Lucas Cranach (I) in the Metropolitan Museum of Art the file is not really in both, because you have to go to all museums to find a file, therefore please always use two seperate category strings for artist, for museum, for item (agony in the garden). My concern is not to hide the files. With prints exclusively sorted into cats "prints by artist in museum x" you have to search many museums to find a file. Therefore they must be in two category strings, as "prints by artist in museum x" is not really for both, the sorting is in packages by museum. This is common practise on commons and I ask you to keep the seperate strings. This extra category string is very necessary and helpful and there is no argument to delete them, like you did with the above shown example. For prints with up to 20 and more identically versions the exclusive sorting by museum, seperates the many versions of the same print, which you cannot spread over the museum's categories, they must also be together in the artist's cat as a second and main category string. --Oursana (talk) 03:22, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

@Oursana: I think I understand your concern, but I don't completely agree with it. If you look in Category:Prints by museum by artist, you will see many categories like this, so it is common practice.

I think the category Category:Prints by Lucas Cranach (I) in the Metropolitan Museum of Art needs to stay, but maybe the files in it can be in subcategories of Category:Prints by Lucas Cranach (I). For example, there could be Category:Religious prints by Lucas Cranach (I). That doesn't currently exist, but it could be created. That would make it easier to find the print you want. -- Auntof6 (talk) 03:29, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Commons practise are at least two category strings, therefore I am not against a museum's cat but for an extra cat string by artist, like you propose now and have to do also for non religious files. Category:Prints by museum by artist does not proof anything.Oursana (talk) 09:32, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Friedrich III (1463–1525), the Wise, Elector of Saxony (MET 46.179.1)

It is common praxis in the arts to have the artist's name included in the cat naming, which is more important than the museum. Furthermore one should only create necessary cats, so cats for every painting are not necessary Oursana (talk) 20:39, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

@Oursana: Okay. I was copying a naming convention I saw on other categories, but I can see how the museum's identifier could become an issue if the painting ever changes hands. In this case it helps differentiate this painting from other paintings of the same subject by the same artist, but maybe there's another way to do that.

I'm not sure what determines what cats qualify as necessary. I often create cats for paintings (and other things) where there are multiple files. It gathers everything for an item together and allows categorization to be done on one item, the category, instead of on multiple files. When creating such categories, I have often found that not all the files for an item were categorized the same.

All that being said, feel free to rename the category if you see fit. -- Auntof6 (talk) 21:36, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Category:Paintings of paintings of Saint Catherine of Alexandria in the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Category:Paintings of paintings of Saint Catherine of Alexandria in the Metropolitan Museum of Art is considered to fulfill the criteria for speedy deletion and has been marked on its page. The following reason has been specified: How to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category English · español · français When you want to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category, best practice is to mark it with either: {{SD|C2}} ("unuseful empty category") if it would be OK to re-create it in the future, given that appropriate content becomes available {{SD|C1}} ("improperly named category") if it is an inappropriate category name that should not be reused (e.g. typos). "C1" and "C2" come from Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion. You could also use of the following: {{badname|current category name}} {{speedy|empty, misspelled category name}} The above templates (SD, speedy, Badname) expand to full speedy deletion requests. In particular, this is better practice than just blanking the category page. Blanked categories end up on Special:UncategorizedCategories, which is largely handled by non-admins who cannot delete the categories in question. Thank you. (This is a standardized talk page message) If you believe the content does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, you may replace the speedy deletion tag with a regular deletion request (if the content has not been deleted) or request undeletion (if the content has already been deleted).
