Line 29: '''Support''', though surely {{cl\|Writers about music}} is a more natural name, in terms of grammar? As you said, it's for people who write about music - and less ambiguous in general terms. It doesn't matter overly with music as the subject, but sooner or later we'd get something like "writers on furniture" or "writers on books" as potential categories. Better to call it "about" while there's only a handful of categories of thsi type.

Eventually someone would rename them all back because they'd stick out like a sore thumb. <span style="color:#b8c8d4">— <b><span style="font-family:Zapfino,Monotype Corsiva;"> [[User:Warren\|Warren]].</span></b> ‘ <span style="font-size:9pt;">[[User talk:Warren\|talk]]</span> ,</span> 02:45, 26 January 2018 (UTC) *'''Support''' Bearcat's rationale, but '''prefer''' Grutness' idea, "about" as opposed to "on". {{ping\|Warren}} I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. I would argue that "sportswriter" is an accepted term per my handy dandy dictionary, and you can't really "write" sports - you can only write {{em\|about}} them. Same goes for gardens and horticulture. You {{em\|can}}, however, write comics and TV shows. I feel it should be judged as to whether the thing can be written into existence or written {{em\|about}}, and for things that can be both, "X writers" and "Writers about X" categories should be developed. <span style="color:gray;">'''Zeke'''</span>, the '''Mad <span style="color:blue;">Horrorist</span>''' <small><sup>[[User talk:Zeke, the Mad Horrorist\|(Speak quickly)]]</sup> <sub>[[Special:Contribs/Zeke, the Mad Horrorist\|(Follow my trail)]]</sub></small> 09:21, 26 January 2018 (UTC) ==== Category:Biblical art by medium ====
