ok i think i understand what you are intending as it stands your new category won't last very long as it is not nested into an appropriate higher level category all categories sit in a nested structure which if followed upwards will always end with category main topic classifications i have surrounded this category with nowiki tags to avoid this discussion being categorised to create an appropriate category the simplest way is to go to the best relevant higher level category such as category american singers and then works downwards through that until you reach a level where individual singers are listed that is probably the place to create your new category i can't promise that even then it will stick that is up to the views of other editors hope that this helps regards velella talk
