Line 165:

*'''Rename''' -- The present name does not appear to reflect the contents. Some of these are older works that are the equivalent of what we would now call biographical dictionaries. I would suggest [[:Category:Biographical compilations on artists]] or something like that. [[User:Peterkingiron|Peterkingiron]] ([[User talk:Peterkingiron|talk]]) 16:55, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

:::All except one of these are indeed "older works", I think 250+ years. Few if any could be called "biographical dictionaries" as they have a relatively small group of biographies, say 50-200. [[:Category:Biographical compilations on artists]] surely isn't grammatical, and one of the points of the category is that it contains article that ''list'' the subjects covered, with the exception of ''[[Benezit Dictionary of Artists]]'', which doesn't list the 170,000 biographical entries the book contains, and should not be in the category.

* '''Alternative suggestion''': [[:Category:Compiled biographies about artists]]. The category contains articles about books, the category title should reflect that. [[User:Marcocapelle|Marcocapelle]] ([[User talk:Marcocapelle|talk]]) 19:09, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
