Opposed speedy move request[edit]

Category:Albums produced by Cole M. Greif-Neill to Category:Albums produced by Cole M.G.N. – C2D: I found that a category already existed for this topic only after I created one based on the main article's title, which I just moved based on the artist's long-established common name. Another user only recently created the other category and only populated it with one page, so I didn't catch it; my bad. Can we move the page? Also should overwrite the new page to preserve the old page history. I grieve in stereo (talk) 10:36, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - this isn't a speedy as you moved the page boldly today. Oculi (talk) 18:19, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A more accurate description of the category (which contains only Hyperspace (album)) would be Category:Albums on which one non-notable track is co-produced by Cole M. Greif-Neill. Oculi (talk) 12:33, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
since when have categories for albums by producer been based on the notability of the track(s) on the album that they produced or that it was co-produced with someone else? As far as I am aware, never. I grieve in stereo (talk) 22:02, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I would say that someone who has produced about 5% of an album cannot be described as having 'produced the album'. The article itself says "The album was co-produced by Beck with Pharrell Williams" and yet it bears no less than 5 producer categories. Oculi (talk) 18:05, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"I would say"—then discuss that with WikiProject Albums or something. I don't know the rule, but as far as I have seen producer categories aren't reserved for the album pages where said producer produced all or most of it. And I frankly don't have any opinions on which pages the category should be included in nor if the category should exist either. I'm only here talking about renaming the original category (which I did not create, User Koavf did). I grieve in stereo (talk) 20:36, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
FYI, this is covered at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Albums/Album_article_style_advice#Categorization, but, yes, whether the category should exist has nothing to do with this name change request. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 22:07, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
