Request a sub-category for Murphy's Brewery

Question

At the moment Ireland, Breweries just has one sub-category, Guinness, St James Gate Brewery. Request for another sub_category for 'Murphy's Brewery'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murphy%27s_Brewery https://www.murphys.com/

Answer 1

Based on the format name of brewer, location as evidenced for Guinness, St James Gate Brewery I have created [[Category: Murphy's, Cork Brewery]] however I note that in 2001 it changed to Heineken Brewery Ireland. What to do about that?

"Murphy's, Cork Brewery" reads funny to me, would [[Category:Murphy's Brewery, Cork]] be better?

Guinness could be changed to match: [[Category:Guinness Brewery, St James's Gate]].

I think the idea is that it is the name of the brewer, location. So if Guinness had a brewery in Castlebar it would be Guinness, Castlebar Brewery. Since I created the Guinness entry I am presuming I was asked to do it in that format. By doing it that way all the breweries for one brewer would be ordered together. (Not sure that in Ireland that is a significant advantage as there are so few.)

Mmm... I still think "Murphy's Brewery, Cork" would be better. (That would still group breweries by brewer by the way, and we can edit them to sort whatever way anyway though).

I feel like "Guinness, St James's Gate Brewery" only makes sense because it does be known as "St James's Gate Brewery"... Murphy's doesn't be known as "Cork Brewery" so that comma feels out of place.

Where as I feel the format of simply "[name] Brewery, [place]" works for either and any. What's the Brewery called? "Guinness Brewery", "Murphy's Brewery", "Smithwick's Brewery", "Wicklow Brewery". Where is it? "St James Gate", "Cork", "Kilkenny", "Redcross". So then "Guinness Brewery, St James's Gate", "Murphy's Brewery, Cork", "Smithwick's Brewery, Kilkenny", "Wicklow Brewery, Redcross"... (for example "Wicklow, Redcross Brewery" makes even less sense than it does for Murphy's and Smithwick's).

My two cents anyway.

I agree with you basically. I have found the original request, which I followed to the letter. I will take this to the Categories Project for advice and, you never know, your 2c may become €2
