should be joined with Category:Groups of numbers Jochen Burghardt (talk) 17:52, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
- Is it better under Category:Groups of objects or under Category:Sets ? - Themightyquill (talk) 09:02, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Jochen Burghardt and Themightyquill:
Keep Sets and groups are not equal. Sets are a group which is defined. Category:Groups of numbers would be for any media depicting a collection of numbers, regardless of whether they are a defined set. Defined sets of numbers can be sorted into Category:Sets of numbers.

- @Joshbaumgartner: Can you explain how that separation would work in practice? What counts as a set vs a collection? - Themightyquill (talk) 08:27, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Themightyquill: We currently have Category:Groups and Category:Sets, and so the same logic used to determine categorization between these two would apply to Category:Groups of numbers and Category:Sets of numbers. To be a set, there must be a definition of the set (i.e. there would be some criteria for inclusion) and the members must all meet that criteria. Theoretically, any group could be defined as a set, should such definition be laid out and the criteria for membership be met, however, realistically we can apply notability to set definitions. Simply taking an image of seemingly random numbers and defining it as 'numbers that Josh likes' is not going to meet this threshold. I really don't know how important it is for us to divide sets and groups, but so long as we do so at the parent level, it would seem the same logic should apply to the 'of numbers' children.

stale discussion. I created DAB category:Sets. User:Joshbaumgartner's suggestion sounds reasonable. Hence - Keep, but both nominated categories' hatnotes to be added to clarify the situation--Estopedist1 (talk) 19:30, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
