Category talk:Homes of American writers

Opposed speedy move request

 * Category:Homes of American writers to Category:Houses of American writers – C2C: Parent is Category:Houses in the United States Mason (talk) 03:06, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose speedy, "Homes" define the individuals lives lived within. "Houses of" doesn't quite cover the concept. Randy Kryn (talk) 03:18, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Good point. Maybe a better solution is to reparent it. Can we move it to a full discussion? It doesn't really fit in Houses in the United States. Because as you point out home is a more specific concept, and its homes of American writers, not homes of writers in the united states Mason (talk) 03:27, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
 * My first time looking at this page, so am not aware of the format. If discussion is next, then sure. I created a category awhile ago Category:Homes of United States Founding Fathers, which I'm quite happy with and had to fight for in a very large went-on-too-long deletion discussion, and there is one for homes of first ladies. A home could be an apartment, so yes, "houses" may be too limiting, but on the other hand don't want these lost from good parent categories. Randy Kryn (talk) 03:33, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Glad you opposed my speedy! I think spending some time to think through the parent categories could be fruitful. Mason (talk) 03:45, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
 * My immediate thought would be to have a category like Category:Homes by person (in the same flavor as Category:Deaths by person, but I'm digging into the categories and not findings anything like that under Category:Home, and it seems that Category:Homes redirects to housing.

 * Looking at the entries it seems the parent category "Houses in the United States" still works, so maybe nothing broken here. There are some entries named "homes" and others "houses", and probably no need to codify either. Randy Kryn (talk) 04:37, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Glad to hear that homes versus houses works. I'm not totally in love with the In the United States part, because we're putting a nationality category into a country category. Mason (talk) 13:25, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
