This is a gallery page, which is slightly different than a category, in
that it is hand-curated. There are thousands of gallery pages on Commons
that share the same scope as a category, so I don't think there's
anything wrong with it existing. Per Commons:Galleries: "Categories
should contain /all/ files related to the subject while galleries should
contain /a sample/ of files related to the subject. Ideally, galleries
should contain the best of what we have."
Gallery pages are quite neglected on Commons and most people don't care
about them and rarely use them. You guys should feel free to go crazy
cleaning them up or adding to them. The Painters gallery for example has
only been touched by 2 editors in its entire 5-edit history.

Hmmm. That page shouldn't exist, because there is already the
category of painters, with hundreds of entries.

Perhaps one of the Commons editors might wish to address that.
