Commons:Categories for discussion/2025/12/Category:Photographs of male screenwriters
This seems to be an odd category. While we do have some "photographs of" categories, normally they are catcats to group things like "black and white photographs of", "aerial photographs of", etc. Otherwise: photographs are the bulk of Commons' content, and we don't usually spell that out. We could nearly double our categories if we separated out "photographs of" for things like this. Jmabel ! talk 18:34, 15 December 2025 (UTC)
Having had no comments here, I have posted at COM:VP#"Photographs of" (permalink). If anyone thinks I've failed to be neutral in my wording there, please comment there; otherwise, discussion should remain here. - Jmabel ! talk 19:55, 24 December 2025 (UTC)
- Agree with it! I took as an example File:BobGale2024.jpg. That file has now the categories “Bob Gale” and “Photographs of male screenwriters”. I my opinion “Photographs of male screenwriters” should be removed and to Category:Bob Gale the category Category:Male screenwriters from the United States should be added (and not “Photographs of male screenwriters from the United States”).

Support merge to more typical categories - probably to Category:Male screenwriters if nothing more specific applies. Some of the photos in this category could also use attention for notability; I've already F10ed a bunch of unused selfies. Omphalographer (talk) 22:33, 24 December 2025 (UTC)
