Categorization issue
Father of Bossa Nova is claimed to be an epithet and categorized as a nickname (rather than under Category:Epithets), but I don't think either applies. Honorary title comes close, but isn't a perfect match. Is there a category (or should there be one for such things (e.g. Father of the Nation)? Clarityfiend (talk) 15:07, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Such things are covered by the article Sobriquet. I'd be inclined to change "epithet" to "sobriquet" in the description on the dab page but leave the page in Category:Nicknames (where Sobriquet also appears). Deor (talk) 16:31, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
 * On second thought, the subcategory Category:Nicknames in music is probably better. The page doesn't need to be in the parent category when it's already in the subcat. Deor (talk) 16:35, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
