Surely she is a Surrealist Artist and not just a Woman Surrealist Artist

[edit]

I added her to the Surrealist Artists category last night and she has since been removed. Yet she remains in the Women Surrealist Artist category. Surely she belongs in both.

Until yesterday, only men artists were in the Surrealist Artists category. We can do better than this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Breadteam (talkcontribs) 16:18, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I think you are missing, or ignoring. the role of Category:British surrealist artists and the other national categories. I think a male surrealist artist should appear only in the appropriate national category, whereas a women surrealist would appear in both her national category and the Women surrealist category. Putting all the artists in just the Surrealist artist category would, potentially, give a overlong list of little use to readers in finding articles of interest. If the nationality of the artist is unknown or uncertain, or an appropriate national category dosnt exist, then use the Surrealist artist category or create a new national category. The way to improve the current situation is to assign the articles in Surrealist artists to their national categories. Also please don't put individuals in the Surrealist artists by nationality category as that is a container for other categories not individual articles. Hope that's clear.
