Category:Miniature painters[edit]

I am confident that most of the painters in this category were of normal size. Should be "Painters of minatures". Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:15, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I support renaming. It could be the wording Andy suggests, or "miniaturists" like Category:Miniaturists by country and its subcats. --Auntof6 (talk) 22:38, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hahaha! I agree on changing, but I have no preference between "Painters of miniatures" and "Miniaturists." - Themightyquill (talk) 20:12, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Miniaturists also work in other media; think "artists" vs. "painters". Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:59, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nonsense! Johnbod (talk) 22:39, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Good point. Then "painters of miniatures" is probably the best (since "miniaturist painters" sounds awkward). The existing "miniaturist" cats should probably be either renamed to match (if they're all painters) or recategorized (if other media are included). --Auntof6 (talk) 23:26, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Miniaturists do NOT "also work in other media", under that name; this category is just for painters. If changed, it should indeed be "Painters of minatures". Vast numbers of our users will not understand "miniaturists", and "miniaturist painters" does not just "sound awkward" is but is not English at all.

Moved to Category:Painters of miniatures per consensus. - Themightyquill (talk) 18:20, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
