Category talk:P. D. Q. Bach

Propose renaming this category to "Peter Schickele related topics".

Will change categorization of the page conforming to this new proposed name.

 * "Category:Peter Schickele related topics" is way too long. How about just "Category:Peter Schickele" ? MakeRocketGoNow 18:06, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)


 * The "Tromboon" article is categorized in this category, which would seem odd if a "Tromboon" was categorized "Peter Schickele" (as odd as it seems to me now to categorize this instrument "P. D. Q. Bach"). This way one could categorize a violin "Paganini", or a pumpkin "cinderella"...
 * Weren't it for the Tromboon I had proposed "P. D. Q. Bach compositions" as category name (the same way I created category:Erik Satie compositions)
 * What do you think about "Peter Schickele topics" as category name? Note that this category is "end of the road"(1) both in "music" subcategories as in "fictional characters" subcategories: I noticed that such "end of the road" categories often get longer names, maybe this is sort of unavoidable?
 * Another question: I created List of borderline fictional characters - could you have a look at that, and if possible let me know if I gave correct treatment to P. D. Q. Bach/Peter Schickele there? Do you think such list of any use w.r.t. fictional subjects?
 * (1) "End of the road" categories: i.e. no subcategories, plenty of supercategories of different nature.
