The Beatles To-do: You can HELP!:

This category should not be a subcategory of Category:Rock music groups? This breaks the category system: every category should either be thematic ("things relating to The Beatles") or descriptive ("rock bands"). The category "Rock music groups" is descriptive, while "The Beatles" is thematic.
In this case, the article The Beatles should belong to this category, as it is a rock band. And John Lennon should belong to the category "The Beatles" because he's related to the theme. But John Lennon is not a rock band, and so should not be in a subcategory of "Rock music groups".
I won't remove it for the moment (it's actually in many such categories). Stevage 08:14, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
- I asked a question about this once at the categorisation page and didn't get an answer. You've explained it fairly well, perhaps you could update/expand on the guidelines? I've also struggled to work out which categories should be placed on a band's article and which on it's category page. --kingboyk 13:52, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
