Do we need two categories, in order to split a small category Jacob's ladder (electrical), into "<subject>" and "videos of <subject>"? This category has no other parents, so it gives no navigational function. Anything it does can be done just as well by a filename extension or media-type.

- I have moved some video categories from the individual files to this category. That seems to address the issue. --Auntof6 (talk) 17:19, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
- No, that is what has caused the issue.
- Why do we need a separate category for videos of the same topic as the parent category? Andy Dingley (talk) 20:05, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
- Not that this decides the discussion, but I want to note that it does have other parent categories: Category:Videos of plasma physics and Category:Videos of electromagnetism. Without this category, I expect these 5 videos would go in both those categories. - Themightyquill (talk) 21:03, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
- That's how it was before the aforementioned changes I made. Still not sure how it's now a problem. --Auntof6 (talk) 21:17, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
- Categories added (or restored?) since the CfD. Yes, clearly the images belong in them - but why do we need a whole extra catgeory to do so? Andy Dingley (talk) 21:29, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
- Isn't it fairly common to put videos for a topic in a separate category? Even more so if there are multiple videos of the same thing. --Auntof6 (talk) 23:02, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
Stale discussion. The result was keep. The nominated category has five videos Estopedist1 (talk) 16:56, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
