Category:Ballets Russes choreographers

Nominator's rationale: Delete - performer by performance overcategorization. Equivalent to categorizing film directors by studio. Otto4711 (talk) 18:55, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Move entries to Category:Ballets Russes and Category:Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo.

If this is to be done please move the entries to:

Category:Ballets Russes and:

Category:Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo respectively.

That would still be inappropriate overcategorization. Otto4711 (talk) 14:44, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I do not agree with this last point.

In what category do entries for a ballet company's choreographers belong if not in that company's category?

Balletmasters, even more than dancers, are associated with a company's style more than anything else!

They are not like baseball managers.
