Unnecessary category for a single performance of the song on a single tour. This basically opens up a Pandora's box of why not other songs and categories. IndianBio (talk) 17:24, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry, but the category is not for "a single performance of the song on a single tour", but it is a standard category of the one song with articles on many Wikipedia versions. Otherwise I don't see why to keep other song categories created like this – e.g. 15 US songs. Or is there any restriction, criteria in creating? --Kacir (talk) 03:18, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- Hm, that doesn't convince, because Category:Songs of the United States does even not contain performances but audio tracks as well as scores. In my opinion performances should not show up there as they are no songs. An image of a singing person is in general hardly to attribute to a special song. Imagine a photo entitled Barack Obama had some beer last week not depicting any beer were assigned anyway to the category beer... --Achim (talk) 20:06, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- @Achim55: Yes, audio tracks plus scores seem to be reason for creation, on the other hand, I don't see much sense to ban categories like Live to Tell, because the key reason to file category should be existing article on Wikipedia and its relevant + corresponding image content on Commons. If Commons have content that can be shared and connected to single article, why to forbid that? In my view, the reader expects such content.--Kacir (talk) 09:33, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
To the question of depicting... This is the same case like e.g. Wimbledon, the song as well as tournament are abstract terms. Can we see the Wimbledon? No, but players who play tennis tournament (like singers who perform song) are categorized to the non-depicted category – Wimbledon.--Kacir (talk) 09:49, 10 May 2016 (UTC)- Seems like discussion hasn't been closed because we still have the notice template. Anyway, in a retrospective commentary, I think redirect or delete this category isn't appropriate. I don't see any problem having some concert pics about the song, and also we can add examples of labels like this. After all, we have an existing article on Wikipedia and the list of Madonna songs. Not to mention that all of these wikidata entries could easily attach also with Commons for authority control. --Apoxyomenus (talk) 18:28, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
