[edit] Saint Patrick

[1], [2]: Why remove Category:Saint Patrick? The man is in costume as Saint Patrick. - Jmabel ! talk 21:04, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Jmabel, these were cases of overcategorization as both pictures are already in Category:Festál Irish Festival which is in Category:Saint Patrick's Day and which in turn is in Category:Saint Patrick. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 22:15, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Hmm. I suppose. I think this is the kind of case where an exception is in order: the direct depiction of St. Patrick is not something for which one would usually expect to navigate down the hierarchy to Category:Saint Patrick's Day and then to a particular festival. But if you are unconvinced, it isn't a big deal. - Jmabel ! talk 22:59, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Jmabel, I think we have quite some files related to Saint Patrick and that it is helpful to have the main category less crowded. I am also inclined to move some of the other images into subcategories like, for example, Category:Stained glass windows of Saint Patrick. In addition, I think that your photographs are quite good illustrations of St. Patrick's day and associated costumes. But these images are in my opinion less qualified as main image of an article about Saint Patrick. We could, of course, consider a category like Category:Costumes of Saint Patrick which would be sorted under Category:Saint Patrick and Category:Costumes impersonating famous people. This way, your photographs would be just one click away from the main category. What do you think about that? Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 01:32, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

I think that would be a good solution. - Jmabel ! talk 03:08, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
