There are so few entries in any given subcat here, I don't think we need this cat or its subcats. Auntof6 (talk) 19:29, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
- I'm afraid there are probably lots of these: Category:Amy Winehouse by year. At least they aren't subdivided by month and year (yet)... =( - Themightyquill (talk) 09:58, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
- I think there's an epidemic of not wanting to leave individual files in higher-level categories. I've seen it with subcatting by time like this, and I've seen it with unidentified-subject/location and to-be-categorized files. Files of Paris that need to be categorized further are tucked away in a subcat under the Paris WikiProject -- who would think to look for them there? I don't think it's helpful to move things into categories like this just because we can. --Auntof6 (talk) 10:22, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
- Is it such a complicated issue not to have been closed for more than a year? --E4024 (talk) 08:50, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
Keep. This discussion can be closed. Mostly populated categories and every year have good potential to grow. In general, I agree with user:Auntof6 that "there's an epidemic of not wanting to leave individual files in higher-level categories"--Estopedist1 (talk) 21:05, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
