Shouldn't the categories: be removed from the article because they are on Category:Gibson Guitar Corporation, which is on the article. Also, shouldn't the other categories: be moved to Category:Gibson Guitar Corporation as well? —[ Alan M 1 (talk) ]— 19:29, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

I'm new to the use of categories but if we do what you propose that users will only become aware of these categories if they click on the Category:Gibson Guitar Corporation. I think it is better to leave them where they are. I have no real interest in Gibson and only added to the article as I came across a lot of information on them in a book called the information in which I have been using to amend selected guitar company articles. As the Gibson article had plenty of information I didn't add it to the article. Therefore I only added the Category:Guitar manufacturing companies of the United States as I found it missing from it.
 * That is, though, what I believe WP:SUBCAT and WP:DIFFUSE to say. Since the relevant categories are not marked as an exception, the article should not be in both a sub-category (Category:Gibson Guitar Corporation) and its parents (Category:Guitar manufacturing companies of the United States etc.). The alternative would be to remove Category:Gibson Guitar Corporation from all those parents, but that doesn't seem right. I recognize that you added just the one category – that was the edit I am questioning –  but I noticed the others at the same time, so I mentioned them. Pinging  who may be more familiar with the relevant concepts.

I have just found that Gibson is also missing from Category:Guitar manufacturing companies which seems to be to me a very important worldwide category. I will add it next. — Preceding unsigned comment added by John Prattley (talk • contribs) 21:09, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Both the article and Category:Gibson Guitar Corporation are already in Category:Guitar manufacturing companies of the United States, which is a sub-category of Category:Guitar manufacturing companies, so it they should not also be in that category per WP:SUBCAT. —[ Alan M 1 (talk) ]— 00:44, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
