*'''Delete'''. To be fair, it's not so much a problem of Guldbagges vs. Oscars per se — the average non-filmgeek person couldn't actually tell you who won the Oscar for Best Cinematographer ''either'', let alone knowing what ''film'' they won it ''for''. The {{cl|Best Cinematographer Guldbagge Award winners}} parent is a perfectly acceptable and defining category for the ''people'' who won the award — but it's not a defining characteristic of the films they worked on.

*'''Delete''' - over categorization and non-defining. [[User:Inter&anthro|Inter&anthro]] ([[User talk:Inter&anthro|talk]]) 04:30, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

•'''Delete''' per all the others, but even if we kept it, we'd have to rename it to make it clear that these particular films won this award. The same cinematographer could work on another film that {{em|doesn't}} win the award, and someone could fudge it and go, "Well, this movie's cinematographer is an award-winner for this that or the other film, and the category's name doesn't imply it should {{em|only}} be used on movies that actually won the award," and so put this category on an article for a film that didn't win the award. In future, on the very nonexistent chance this category scheme actually gains traction as valid here on Wikipedia, it should be named [[:Category:Films whose cinematography won the Best Cinematography Guldbagge Award]]. This category isn't about people, it's about specific films, but the name of the category doesn't currently reflect that. <span style="color:gray;">'''Zeke'''</span>, the '''Mad <span style="color:blue;">Horrorist</span>''' <small>^{[[User talk:Zeke, the Mad Horrorist|(Speak quickly)]]} _{[[Special:Contribs/Zeke, the Mad Horrorist|(Follow my trail)]]}</small> 23:11, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
