:At first blush, single image cats don't make a lot of sense. I think, though, that when the person is in many categories that have a large number of images, that having a subcat rather than as an image in each of them might be a good thing. Even given that, I would not have created this cat, but given that we already had it, and that deletion does not actually delete it, it seemed better to keep it. Jim . . . .

::One has a much better overview of many elements in a category if they are sorted and alphabetical. Most single picture categories get expanded, so once the first categorisation is right, all the new pictures inherit that. Try for example to find a picture of a specific person (for example Te'o) in [[:Category:Immigrants to the United States]]. --[[User:Foroa|Foroa]] ([[User talk:Foroa|talk]]) 16:38, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

:::I wouldn't have created the category, but it now has Authority Control--an indication of some notability. Google scholar yields over 60 hits and Google Images appears to have at least 5-10 relevant images; no idea whether they licensed appropriately. Once it's created, I wouldn't push for deletion; there's too much chance that another picture will be added. If [[User:Foroa|Foroa]]'s right, leaving this alone will save doubled work.
