Category talk:Birmingham School of Art

Birmingham School of Art categories
There are various categories relating to Birmingham School of Art (and I have just created another one) and I suggest they should all be given the current name (since 2014), Birmingham City Faculty of Arts, Design and Media. I would not suggest renaming the article Birmingham School of Art as it still refers to a building. Pinging the category creators.
 * Birmingham School of Art (article) (User:JimmyGuano 2005)
 * Category:Birmingham School of Art (User:Jpbowen 2014) suggest rename Category:Birmingham City Faculty of Arts, Design and Media
 * Category:Academics of the Birmingham School of Art (User:Pigsonthewing 2013) suggest rename Category:Academics of Birmingham City Faculty of Arts, Design and Media
 * Category:Alumni of Birmingham Institute of Art and Design (JimmyGuano 2007) suggest rename Category:Alumni of Birmingham City Faculty of Arts, Design and Media
 * Category:Alumni of the Birmingham School of Art (TSventon 2019) suggest merge to Category:Alumni of Birmingham City Faculty of Arts, Design and Media

Any alternative suggestions are welcome. TSventon (talk) 11:31, 11 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Given that (at least) Birmingham School of Art (which is about the school ,not just the building) and Birmingham Institute of Art and Design have separate articles (the latter via a redirect), I oppose' a conflation of their respective categories.

 * User:Pigsonthewing, the article and category with content seem to be conflated already.
 * The "Birmingham School of Art" article covers the history from the Birmingham Government School of Design in 1843 to Birmingham City Faculty of Arts, Design and Media in 2014, while "Birmingham Institute of Art and Design" is only a redirect.
 * "Alumni of Birmingham Institute of Art and Design" (87 articles) is mostly alumni of Birmingham School of Art based on the first 10 names, but also includes five alumni listed in Bournville Centre for Visual Arts.
 * The other three categories have three articles between them. TSventon (talk) 16:31, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
 * User:Pigsonthewing, I have moved alumni from BIAD to Birmingham School and Bournville College alumni categories so the categories should no longer overlap. TSventon (talk) 11:05, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
