I cannot really see much of a pattern in the contained images. --Rimshot 10:25, 9 July 2007 (UTC) As suggested by the supercat:s, it contained letter combinations of E and L. Also to this category have been added images imported from the es:Enciclopedia Libre Universal en Español (abbreviation EL) via es:. Hence the ragbag. Man vyi 12:43, 9 July 2007 (UTC) Oh, I see. I'll create Category:Images from Enciclopedia Libre in Category:Images from encyclopedias then, and put them there. Would that be alright? --rimshottalk 13:16, 9 July 2007 (UTC) It seems like a good idea to me. Man vyi 16:43, 9 July 2007 (UTC) This discussion of one or several categories is now closed. Please do not make any edits to this archive. Category:EL should be disambiguation. Old discussion here [[1]] Estopedist1 (talk) 13:07, 20 January 2020 (UTC) (Old discussion actually rather here.) So, it should be a disambiguation… of what? Category:EL letter combinations versus Category:Images from Enciclopedia Libre? Seems oddly specific. Why not have the former as a parent cat of the latter, instead? -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 17:05, 20 January 2020 (UTC) @Tuvalkin: Are you suggesting Category:EL letter combinations be the parent of Category:Images from Enciclopedia Libre, or that Category:EL be the parent of both, or what? Josh (talk) 00:44, 23 January 2020 (UTC) I think should have Category:EL letter combinations as a parent cat of Category:Images from Enciclopedia Libre, yes, as said. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 10:11, 23 January 2020 (UTC) And to keep Category:EL as a redirect of Category:EL letter combinations, as it is. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 10:12, 23 January 2020 (UTC) Disambiguate only looking at qualified titles there is Category:El (deity), Category:El (given name) and Category:El (surname particle). Per Commons:Category redirects#Inappropriate uses#2 specifies when a disambiguation would be more appropriate since a category redirect still requires the reader to click through. Also note that w:El is a DAB. Crouch, Swale (talk) 11:02, 24 January 2020 (UTC) @Crouch, Swale: I would fully agree if we were discussing Category:El instead. As it is, this discussion must go on further to achieve clarity. (Incidentally, the word "inappropriate" seems rather… inappropriate in this context: This is not a matter of vandalism, nor of obvious right and wrong. Positive wording would help.) -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 13:31, 24 January 2020 (UTC) to me it is obvious that: category:EL and category:El both should be integrated to one DAB page, like enwiki does: en:EL and en:El--Estopedist1 (talk) 06:09, 25 January 2020 (UTC) Yes per w:WP:DABCOMBINE though its currently annoying due to having to click through a category redirect but we probably shouldn't create duplicate DAB pages. Crouch, Swale (talk) 07:31, 26 January 2020 (UTC) Category:El (lower case) is now a DAB. Crouch, Swale (talk) 07:35, 26 January 2020 (UTC) @Crouch, Swale: nice point about the redirect. Probably inevitable. But definitely NOT to create duplicate DAB pages.--Estopedist1 (talk) 07:07, 27 January 2020 (UTC) Yes I think we should redirect to the lower case DAB like WP noting that there are several uses of the capital "L" like w:EL (rapper). Crouch, Swale (talk) 09:45, 28 January 2020 (UTC) @Crouch, Swale and Tuvalkin: EL and El redirect to one DAB page. Solution per enwiki. This CFD can be closed--Estopedist1 (talk) 19:33, 1 March 2020 (UTC) The result was DAB created at lower case title and upper case redirected to it. Crouch, Swale (talk) 05:57, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
