Absorb with Category:Game Sprites?

Unless if I'm missing anything, all media in this category use Template:Game sprite, which categorizes them into Category:Game Sprites. Is there some reason why this category should be kept? I'm thinking that Icon Sprites should be dissolved, as this creates an unnecessary and perhaps arbitrary categorization, because "sprites that are icons" could mean several things that could be recategorized into other categories (e.g., the already created Category:Amiibo Festival character icons which is in turn a subcat of Category:Amiibo Festival images) and could be just linked to Game Sprites. >Decomposerx20pxx20px 08:22, January 14, 2020 (EST)
