Denmark-music-stub, test case for bigger music problem?

{{Denmark-music-stub}} appears unproposed, and has over 60 transclusions. Currently upmerges to both Category:Music stubs and Category:Denmark stubs. It mostly consists of albums and songs with a few other odds and ends. So it appears we could create Category:Danish music stubs to match existing categories such as Category:Japan music stubs.

There seems to be no consistency at the moment though with how countries are treated in the music stubs section. Some of the fooian music stubs categories are mostly used for songs and yet are not part of the Category:Song stubs tree. They also collect up the subcategories scattered among Category:Music biography stubs. Category:Canadian music stubs is a parent only category for the bio stubs. On the other hand, countries like Australia, UK, and US have no such category so their stub categories are unrelated, in some cases only sharing a parent all the way back at Category:Music stubs.

I think we should either start a 'Songs by country' and 'Albums by country' sorting, or otherwise start moving songs back into the songs by year/genre categories, for consistency. Albums by country might help the overpopulation in the albums. And seeing how hard it is to navigate between, for example, Category:Australian guitarist stubs, Category:Australian musical group stubs, Category:Australian record label stubs makes me think at the very least the parent only categories are needed. --Qetuth (talk) 21:16, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
