Commons:Categories for discussion/2020/08/Category:Individual
What is the purpose of this category? I just depopulated it of pictures (mostly of individuals - groups of 1 person, plus few just mistagged). This should be upmerged to Category:Groups of 1. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 08:35, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
Oppose / 
Weak oppose It's not an easy problem. It's not simple meaning Category:Groups of 1. I think Category:Objects for Individual.- A comparison of "Individual" or not is exist here.
- For example, In normal, Couch is a chair for several people. Therefore, Single couch (for Individual) is not main case. Also Individual packaging & One per one are, In a sense, Dividing-solution (method). --Benzoyl (talk) 17:16, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
- But, Team sports / Individual sports may "(Both are) even". --Benzoyl (talk) 17:24, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
- And, There is d:Q795052. Would you mind if I ask you what you think about it? That is the most worrisome. --Benzoyl (talk) 06:39, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
- This is a sub of Category:Individual adjectives and as such is a category which contains any categories which are described by the adjective 'individual'. I'm not super-convinced that these categories are useful or that we have a good schema for them, but nonetheless so far as they exist, this is one of them and is valid to keep, though probably with only categories under it.

 | three different adjectives all describing generally the same basic concept, we don't need three separate categories for this. | |||

stale discussion. Philosophical topic, but maybe we should solve these questions somehow with DAB page(s). By the way, en:Individual is responding to Commons Category:1 person--Estopedist1 (talk) 19:48, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Piotrus, Benzoyl, Joshbaumgartner, and Estopedist1: What should we do with Category:Individual, Category:Solo and Category:Single categories? As Josh has pointed out, all three adjectives are describing the same concept. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 08:55, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Estopedist1 I'm fine with a dab page, but I still think all three ought to be merged into one and it can then dab to the various things it could mean. Josh (talk) 09:07, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- Merge into one (Groups of 1). Right now we have a terrible mess with categories listed above, which haphazardly contain various subcategories that use words 'solo', 'single' or 'individual' somewhere in the title. Those would be bad Wikipedia categories and are bad Commons categories; the make about as much sense as having Category:Big that would be grouping Category:Big data, Category:Big Brother and Category:Big Ben.
