Category:Virgin and Child between St Anthony of Padua and St Roque

[edit]

User:Botaurus thinks that this is not a right category name, because artist name or museum is lacking and the files cannot be found. He thinks using this category is vandalism. Furthermore he sees a problem using an English title. There are many categories used like that without problems. In the main category Category:Paintings by Titian in the Prado Museum are six similar categories e.g. Category:Bacchanal of the Andrians. I agree that a category mentioning artists name, etc. for description is better. But even this normally used category name should be kept and used without misunderstandings.

I think that it's important to put the name of the author in the name of the painting, specially when the subject is very popular (like in this case the Virgin, St Anthony, and St Rochus). The name of the Museum I would let it by side, and to use only if of the same painter you have two or more paintings with the same subject or title (e.g. some paintings of Caravaggio), or if you have paintings of different artists but with the same subject/name. --DenghiùComm (talk) 20:52, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oursana & DenghiùComm: Botaurus redirected this category to Category:Virgin and Child between St Anthony of Padua and St Roque by Titian in the Prado Museum in October 2012. If everyone is okay with that, I suggest that we close discussion. - Themightyquill (talk) 09:14, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

 Disagree. Without the museum name. There aren't other paintings of the same artist with the same subject (or title) that justify this additional specification. IMO the category name must be Category:Virgin and Child between St Anthony of Padua and St Roque, by Titian. ---DenghiùComm (talk) 09:32, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

 Agree The addition of the museum's name is not necessary but helpful and there is no need to change this now. You should never use - as you often did - a comma in front of ...by Titian or any other painter.--Oursana (talk) 15:17, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oursana Why? Is there a specific rule? IMO it's good to distinguish the title of the work by the name of the artist. We can do it with a comma or with brackets. --DenghiùComm (talk) 15:50, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It's just part of English grammar/punctuation rules. Commas don't go there. I agree with Oursana, that the name of the museum isn't necessary, but it's not a particular problem either. I'd say leave it as it is. - Themightyquill (talk) 17:00, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. --DenghiùComm (talk) 06:18, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
