Well, we do principally create categories for convenient use by readers, not necessarily for convenience of editors using hotcat ... but anyway, we do seem to make exceptions for other places in categories when the undisambiguated name of the place is primary as determined by the location of the article name.
Category:Paris and
Category:London are but two examples of this, but it is widespread across places that are not as well known. Why is this one different? Categories are getting to the stage where they are overdisambiguated, in my opinion.
Good Ol’factory(talk)01:26, 19 June 2012 (UTC)reply
Your first sentence is difficult for me to believe. How can an article name be unambiguous but an identical category name not also be unambiguous? I think it would be more accurate to say that giving an article an undisambiguated name as primary usage nevertheless allows it to retain some inherent ambiguity.
Good Ol’factory(talk)01:30, 19 June 2012 (UTC)reply
Oppose -- The target would cover both a Mexican City and a Spanish Province. It would thus be liable to collect miscategorised articles. The precednet on this is
Birmingham, where the categories are at (I think) "Birmingham, Wet Midlands", so that they do not collect articles on
Birmingham, Alabama, which is also a large city. If the target were created, it would have at once to be made inot a dab-category.

Oppose Guadalajara may be the primary usage for an article, but it is not the sole usage enough to justify not disambiguating the category. I think we have multiple precedents for this with the few US cities that get stand alone name articles.

Merge to
Category:Albums by Venezuelan artists. That is what this category is really trying to be. We categorize albums by the nationality of their creator. This is partly because this category will to some extent be a container category to group together the categories of various albums grouped by the creating musician.

Yes, a larger scheme: please take all trees into account: you seem to be looking at this from a "vatican City" point only, not from the 2009 point: upmerging this would place this page in the "2009 establisments" cat, and remove it from the "2009 establishments by country" pool, for the sake of "no small cats" only. Such upmergings from some elements from a large group (the 2009 establishments by country) but not others doesn't help anyone but only makes it harder to find (and categorize) things.

I can agree that for 2009 many of the country categories are having a significant number of articles in them - but already quite a number will have 1 or 2 (almost by definition). Going a few years back will only increase that number (plus giving the illogical situation of countries not existing (yet).

They are there for the sake of discussion, I suggest an upmerge to the lowest level that is reasonable - likely the 3rd one in this (though if it means that if the second level is only filled with a handful of single-page categories then that may be worth discussing as well). I can also agree with making them more fine grained either when can be shown that there are going to be a significant number of articles in a certain level, or when, in time, that level actually starts to fill up significantly. --

Delete - The one member is miscategorized, in my opinion: the image is of an album cover that depicts a body part, not of a body part per se. The distinction lies in the fact that whereas this image could be used to illustrate the article about the album, it could not be used in an article about vision. It might be possible to populate this category with various anatomy-related images; however, either

Nominator's rationale:Delete. Nearly every song has 'disputed authorship', for instance every Lennon/McCartney song is credited as such, yet Lennon or McCartney or somebody else claims they wrote it! 'Disputed authorship' is the stuff of myth and fandom. This category has existing for nearly a year and I am grateful there is still only one entry! If the category was more along the lines "Songs whose authorship has been challenged in Court" my opinion would be different.

CaseyPenk (

Response. All (99.9% anyway) of Beatle songs are credited jointly to Lennon/McCartney and are listed 'officially' as such (i.e. not just on the album cover), however many were written by one without further input from the other. This is a fairly common practice and can be seen in other bands. The copyrightable bit of a song is the words and melody and any distinquishing arrangement (not ANY arrangement). There are plenty notable cases where it is claimed the credited writers are not the actual writers. Even with
WP:V all I need is some website to say I co-wrote XXX song and I have created another myth! I am grateful to Fayenatic london for his additional text on this category, which goes a long way to allaying my fears about this category, but it should also be considered to fall under the remit of
WP:BLP when appropriate, and that unknown or uncertain is not the same as 'disputed authorship' --
Richhoncho (

Comment -- This should be about cases where two people both claim to have written a song separately, so that there is a dispute between them. If two people wrote it jointly, it is a jointly written song. It is futile to argue over how much each contributed.
Delete (Listify if wanted). "Disputed" can mean many things. Which cannot be explained for each entry in a category. So this should be a list if anything. - jc37`

The categories in question have gone through various renames, etc (tough to track some of this because of the limitation in renaming categories) and well-meaning editors renaming things, not knowing their older history, or what the cats may have previously held (something else rather difficult to discern).
At this point, I dunno, I think it's odd linguistically to call a gallery a list : )

It is far easier to annotate each member article or category as having relevance to a parent, than it is to try and write the parent list in isolation to its members. This is the basis of categorization under MediaWiki, and why categorization is such a useful technique.
In some cases it's easier to write the list first - typically short, bounded sets with clear pre-existing definitions and known membership sets. Neither of these are one of those cases.

So are you saying they are there for WP editors? We don't use content-side for that sort of thing. Admittedly in this case they are of use to readers but an even better method to impart the info is to have a list in the article. It does not matter if it is incomplete. It can be labelled as such with {{incomplete list}} (not that I like that sort of tag) or a qualification such as "Notable watercraft designed by XXXX include". Categories don't get anywhere near the amount of traffic that an article gets so having the info in the article (if not already there) is the best option. --

Keep, I see no reason why this information shouldn't be organized in categories as well as lists, per
WP:CLN; no argument has been made that it is somehow ill suited for a category structure, and it would not seem to fit any of the to-be-avoided examples at
WP:OCAT. postdlf (talk)

Keep. Isn't this part of what Wikipedia is for? Helping categorize information that isn't easily found elsewhere? Cool category, btw. :) We need more categories like this.
