- The result of the discussion was: Rename Option A Timrollpickering (talk) 08:57, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
- Propose renaming, to standardise on either "arts" or "the arts". Currently the by-century categories are named "in the arts", but the by-decade and by-year categories are named "in arts".
- Option A: use "the arts"
110 by-decade categories "in arts" → "in the arts"
|
|
614 by-year categories "in arts" → "in the arts"
|
|
- Option B: use "arts"
41 by-century categories "in the arts" → "in arts"
|
|
- Nominator's rationale: to achieve consistency. The categories should all use the same format: either "in the arts" or "in arts".
- I strongly prefer option A ("in the arts"), because:
- The title of the head article is The arts. Categories should match the head article
- "The arts" is less likely to be confused with the subtopic art.
- But I would prefer option B to the status quo. The inconsistency is silly. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 08:45, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
Discussion: The arts

- Upmerge -- I have only been able to sample this. For older periods "The arts" seems to have subcategories for "art" (primarily graphic and pictorial) and "works", which is wider, including literature and even buildings. The best solution may be to eliminate the "The arts" layer, so that all sub-cats are directly in the annual, decade, or century. By the early 16th century, there start being a few more subcats, but mostly ones that fail SMALLCAT. By the 20th century, there may be enough to have annual and decade container categories, but I am not sure. If it is a choice between Arts and The arts I would prefer the latter - Option A.

- Comments - the top category is Category:Arts, renamed from Category:The arts via cfd: 2006_May_25#Category:The_arts_to_Category:Arts. This would suggest using 'arts' throughout (Option B). However I also strongly prefer 'the arts' and would support a rename of Category:Arts back to Category:The arts (C2D, per the article The arts). I also agree that there should be consistency.

- Option A for the two reasons mentioned by nominator. Admittedly Peterkingiron has a point that the categories start too early in history, at all three levels (of century, decade and year), but we should have a separate discussion when would be a more meaningful starting point for every of the three levels.

- Option A to match the main article. Dimadick (talk) 17:26, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
- Option A - because I think that is the way most people would usually say it. Plus, the well-reasoned explanations of the nominator and those above. ‡ Єl Cid of Valencia 18:47, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
- Option A though I'd happily delete at least half of these dreadful 1/10th-filled cats. Johnbod (talk) 20:21, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
- Option A. Sounds more natural, and that's certainly how people who work in the arts describe it (myself included). Grutness...wha? 04:03, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
- Option A, as it's more idiomatic. Ham II (talk) 07:55, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
