Split, or rename?

One of the articles in the category (Is God Dead?) is actually a magazine cover, and there's room for more... arguably Time Person of the Year, and then I was thinking of writing an article that would fit (probably won't tho)... "Headlines" right now includes newpaper front-page headlines AND article headlines... a magazine cover is sort of a headline, n'est-ca pas? But I wouldn't want to put in more covers without changing the name to "Headlines and magazine covers" I guess? So I'm suggesting this. Objections?

More blather: Category:Lists of covers of Time (magazine) would then be made a subcat of this cat, which would integrate those articles a bit more... so would List of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover models I suppose. There is also Category:Fair use magazine covers, which is gigantic category with many subs, all the entities being image files (it possibly shouldn't exist IMO because it lists fair-use images out of context, but it does). A Category:Magazine covers supercat would make sense for that, but there is no such category , so the only supercat for Category:Fair use magazine covers that matters is Category:Magazines, which is a bit of a leap...

So I'm seeing these possibilities:

1: Do nothing.
2: Rename this category to "Headlines and magazine covers", and add Category:Lists of covers of Time (magazine) as a subcat, and the article Lists of covers of Time magazine (which is just a list version of that cat]], and IMO the article Time Person of the Year because "appearing on the cover" is the big deal part of that.
3: Create a new category, "Magazine covers", and put it under category "Magazines" (and maybe others, but can't think of any). This category would kind of sparse, with just the articles Is God Dead? and Lists of covers of Time magazine plus I guess Time Person of the Year and List of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover models, plus a subcat. But it does leave a place to put future articles, if any.
4: Make a container cat, "Headlines and magazine covers" which contains two subcats, this one ("Headlines") and a new one ("Magazine covers", see #3 above).
5: Other, I dunno.

I'm for #2. I think that "headline" and "magazine cover" are closely enough related as to no warrant being entirely separated, as #3 would do, and indeed closely enough so that #4, which creates a new small category for just magazine covers, is not warranted. So I propose to do this presently absent any objections. Herostratus (talk) 18:03, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
