Category:Andrew Johnson and slavery[edit]

I say delete and just apply the parent categories to the one image (a newspaper clipping) in this category. As far as I can see, we don't have any other Commons categories about a single individual "and slavery", and it seems very odd to create one for one newspaper clipping.

@Jmabel by all means speedy delete if you like! I think I created it somewhat absentmindedly with the idea that Category:Andrew Johnson was probably getting big and in correlation with the article. But I'm not attached! Do your thing. Jengod (talk) 07:37, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jengod: conversely, if you have more images to add to the category, it's probably worth keeping; it's just that having a category intersection for one newspaper clipping seemed pointless. Your call. - Jmabel ! talk 07:42, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jmabel I added a bunch of subcats, if they suit great, if not, no worries. Jengod (talk) 20:42, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jengod: fine with me. If all of those are people who were his slaves, you might consider grouping them under a single subcategory Category:Slaves of Andrew Johnson and putting just that directly under Category:Andrew Johnson and slavery. - Jmabel ! talk 20:48, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is now reasonably sorted out; no need to have a further CfD, even if there might be more work to do here. - Jmabel ! talk 20:48, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
