Nominator's rationale: The term videography is being misused in this case as the term is specific to work done by a videographer, and does not mean a list of videos or films (that use is a neologism original to wikipedia which should be edited out as unverifiable). Further, many of the individuals have entertainment credits in work other than video (such as computer games, discographies, acting credits for entertainers who do that as well as music, etc.) on these pages so the cat should reflect that by expanding the scope to all media to reflect the content across the lists. 4meter4 (talk) 19:54, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment When I created this category it was for articles like Michael Jackson videography, which are still named that. I don't think "performances by entertainer in media" is a very helpful, clear, or easy to use term. "Media" is way too broad a term and confusing. At least use something like "on screen" or similar. "Videography" is at least easy for a reader to understand what it is.★Trekker (talk) 20:02, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. Such an undertaking would have been well served being discussed first before wholesale name changes to articles. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 20:10, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Except the term "videography" does not mean a list of videos. Its use in that way is unique to wikipedia and is an unverifiable neologism not supported in sources outside of the encyclopedia. Per WP:NEO, the MJ article needs to be renamed, and the term videography needs to be removed when being used to refer to a video list in all articles across the encyclopedia as that is WP:OR. We can't just make up new definitions to words because it is convenient to do so. Additionally, most of these articles have media credits in a variety of media all on one page (TV, Film, music videos, streaming platforms, radio, computer games, etc.) and in multiple areas of creative contribution in over half of the cases (music performance credits, acting credits, dancing/choreography credits, directing credits, writing credits, producing credits, etc.) 4meter4 (talk) 20:21, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ok this feels like a subject that maybe needs a broader discussion with several Wikipedia projects and input from many editors.★Trekker (talk) 19:00, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. This impacts a lot of articles. I think a decision here to change the wording will need to result in a much bigger RfC.--3family6 (Talk to me|See what I have done) 15:53, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Rename, aligning with the article names, but "lists" instead of "list", and maybe drop "by entertainer". If this isn't clear as a category name then the article titles are equally unclear, so better change those to begin with. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:59, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • this is a much wider discussion as it also involves articles as well as categories. I'm fine with renaming, but what do we rename it to? Does such a categorization/classification (list of videos) even exist outside of Wikipedia? Perhaps the articles could be renamed to "list of videos by X", but what do we call the category? Video list? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 3family6 (talk • contribs) 15:53, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    There's a requested move linked lower down at this page for Madonna videography and similar articles. Also, you didn't sign this comment, like the other one you made in the same edit. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 04:37, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. 1. The term "videography" has been used this way outside of Wikipedia. Here's a Cambridge University Press book: [1]. 2. Moreover, the term had been used before Wikipedia even existed, you can find some examples on Google Books. I've simply searched for "videography" and "discography" being used on one page, here's the results: [2].
If you don't like the term, I would suggest "filmography". But that would require reorganization of some lists, combining music videos and DVDs/BDs with films and TV series and documentaries and such. --Moscow Connection (talk) 14:56, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Not against a rename but oppose the proposed merger. The content of the category have articles recently renamed from "Foo videography" to "List of performances by Foo in media". Then there's the whole scheme Category:Videographies by artist nationality, with each subcat being nominated individually. A consolidated request to rename along the lines of "Lists of performances by American artists in media" might be in order. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 20:07, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Videography is a technical term for the work done by a videographer. The cats here are not being used in this way; but are trying to turn "videography" into a word that means a list of videos as an original twist on the terms filmography/discography. This is a made up neologism that is far as I can tell is unique to who ever created these cats on wikipedia (there are also a bunch of articles titled with the term, and they should all be renamed). I've never seen "videography" used in this way anywhere else. Note I don't know how to bundle nom the sub cats, but all of these should be deleted. Likewise there are a bunch of article titles using this word that need renaming.4meter4 (talk) 22:57, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Small categories. In all these cases, the "nationality descent" categories are already present and are more suitable than "ethnic descent." Note that I did not nominate the general Category:People of Arab descent. Hassan697 (talk) 13:09, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: merge, for consistency, until the 12th century the tree of short stories by century of setting mostly contains only 1 or 2 articles per century (see discussion above) which is not helpful for navigation. The 8th century is merely an accidental exception. The articles in these categories happen to be all set in China during the Tang dynasty, hence these particular merge targets.

How is it nonsensical? Acting in a series of Warner Brothers Cartoons is absolutely textbook WP:PERFCAT. --woodensuperman 15:56, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
