Category talk:Portraits of males by country
The parent categories are conflicting. Category:Males by country and Category:Portraits of males are categories describing where men by their nationalities. Category:Portraits by country describes the portraits by their production area or by their current location, but not the nationality of the subject (in this case, the men). Do we need Category:Portraits of men by nationality and Category:Portraits of women by nationality to emphasize its the subject of the portrait in discussion? Do we need to have Category:Portraits of Italy of men (and equivalents) to distinguish what is being separated by country? Thoughts? I realize there is likely a lot of overlap (most portaits of Italien men are produced and located in Italy) but likely not in all cases. - Themightyquill (talk) 10:00, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
6 years old CFD. @Themightyquill: in generally, we don't tolerate <by nationality> categories. Per SQL quarry we have 0 categories consisting of <of_men_by_nationality> or <of_women_by_nationality>. Knowing this fact, could we move on with this stale discussion? Also pinging user:Auntof6--Estopedist1 (talk) 08:55, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
- I'm not set on "by nationality" but the problem remains. -- Themightyquill (talk) 10:24, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
- Ah, the limitations of the English language to be concise, complete, and unambiguous while not becoming cumbersome and unnatural. Category:Portaits of Austria of males of Austria (under Category:Portaits of Austria of males by country, Category:Portaits of Austria of people of Austria by gender and Category:Portaits of males of Austria by country) seems a pretty cumbersome setup but might be the only way to be clear about the nationality of both the work and the subject, short of us just arbitrarily deciding we only care about the nationality of the work or of the subject but not both together.

@Themightyquill: do you have a specific, concrete proposal here? After 6-1/2 years, there doesn't seem much point to keep a discussion in a state of "maybe we ought to do something about this." Also Pinging @Estopedist1, Joshbaumgartner who have weighed in. - Jmabel ! talk 23:34, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
- The problem remains, so I don't see the problem with leaving discussion open to flag the problem. -- Themightyquill (talk) 08:17, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
