Category name

This category seems far too generic. I propose changing it to something like "Famous black-and-white photographs", with a definition that the photos in this category must have appeared in one of the major history of photography books. Thoughts? Lexaxis7 ( talk) 02:04, 10 January 2011 (UTC) reply

Category rename proposals are made using WP:CFD. That said, I doubt that anyone would want to add "famous" to the category name. Every article that appears in WP is supposed to be notable, or "famous" in some way. Therefore, every article that would appear in this category would be understood by implication to be notable or famous. For example, the category ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.›  Category:British people contains notable or famous British people, but we don't need to call it ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.›  Category:Famous British people.
