:::::: Three Maryland congressmen have introduced a resolution calling for the removal of the Robert E. Lee statue from Antietam National Battlefield because it "memorializes leaders of the pro-slavery, traitorous Confederate South". Can't you see that "named for Confederate soldiers" is a relevant category given the present political discourse? It’s not like the trivia from popular culture you are referring to. Furthermore, per WP:SHAREDNAME: ''a category for unrelated people who happen to be named "Jackson" is not useful. However, a category may be useful if the people, objects, or places are directly related—for example, a category grouping subarticles directly related to a specific Jackson family.'' It is my opinion, based on facts and logic, that "named for Confederate soldiers" in this case corresponds to "the Jackson family." In addition, I do not see overcategorization as an especially pertinent problem. I find it more disturbing that a stubborn attachment to general principles is overriding the specific circumstances of an individual case.

:''The result of the discussion was:'' <!-- Template:Cfd top --> '''delete''' per [[WP:OCEPON]]. Where there are many articles for works but they are all in sub-categories for works, this does not justify an eponymous category, but rather means that it is ''not'' needed, if there are no other biography-related articles. – [[User:Fayenatic london|Fayenatic]] [[User talk:Fayenatic london|'''<span style="color: #FF0000;">L</span>'''ondon]] 09:26, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

*'''Delete'''. the Works-by and Films-based-on-works-by group together the relevant articles and are interlinked. Those articles don't need categorizing in [[:Category:American male writers]]. <b>[[User:DexDor|DexDor]]</b><sup> [[User talk:DexDor|(talk)]]</sup> 15:58, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
*Putting "Films based on works by X" within "works by X" will always be debatable.
