Wikipedia talk:Categories for discussion/Log/2017 March 5

In categories, "in art" means in the visual arts exclusively. Please don't add performing arts things to the category here. An "in the arts" container category can be set up if necessary. Johnbod (talk) 13:16, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

:Thanks for pointing this out, Johnbod. I have carried out further changes, in effect un-merging the former contents of :Category:Passion (Christianity) and renaming it instead to :Category:Cultural depictions of the Passion of Jesus. (This gave a neat outcome in terms of category page history and wikidata links.) I am not wedded to "Cultural depictions" but it seemed a better fit than "Portrayals" or "... in the arts".

:Marcocapelle, please excuse me for just doing it without waiting for your views – that was improper of me. At least I have sorted out the error introduced by my nomination. If you can support the current outcome, may I request that you add a note to your close stating that after discussions on talk pages, in which Johnbod made the above argument, the close was revised to rename the parent category instead of merging. – Fayenatic London 21:38, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

:Thanks, but we need a :Category:Passion plays (a distinct and old genre) to complete the tree. I have changed most of the contents of the art category - was mostly plays, and lacking most of the art. Johnbod (talk) 02:59, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

:: {{ping|Fayenatic london|Johnbod}} Thanks both for improving this further, I'll add a note to the discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:46, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
