Shopping malls don't have a nationality, people do. Rename CalJW 15:33, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
A follow up to the one below. Rename Category:Direct Subsidy Scheme schools. CalJW 14:47, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
Mysterious to nearly all of the 99.9% of the world population which doesn't live in Hong Kong. It is policy to avois abbreviations. Rename category:English Schools Foundation schools. The Hong Kong menu is the most non-standard out of more than 80 I have looked at, so there are plenty more nominations of Hong Kong categories to come. CalJW 14:44, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
This category is really much the same as category:Computer companies of the United Kingdom, but the latter has more articles. I can't see computer company categories for any other countries, so it might be best to merge this category into category:Computer companies of the United Kingdom.

This category seems to have been created to include municipalities in Hartberg (district) in Styria, Austria. Neither Hartberg (district) nor its capital, Hartberg, itself has a page yet, and the category includes only Friedberg, a town with a population of 2,772. Martg76 10:33, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
- Category:List of birds on stamps → Category: Lists of birds on stamps by country singular to plural --TimPope 21:36, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
- Comment Would this be better named as Category:Lists of birds appearing on stamps by country? I couldn't work out if it was by stamp or by bird until I looked and saw they were by country. Steve block talk 12:05, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
- I agree --TimPope 17:18, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
- Doesn't this new name go beyond speedy? You may want to add it to normal CFD. ∞Who?¿? 19:53, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Cities and towns in Austria
Category:Cities in Austria and Category:Towns in Austria should be merged into Category:Cities and towns in Austria, because the distinction between the two categories is not clear. In fact, there are Gemeinden (communities), Marktgemeinden (market communities) and Städte (cities), but these are essentially honorific titles which largely depend on the historical significance of the respective community. The only meaningful distinction would be to distinguish between regular communities (including cities) and Statutarstädte, which are not part of an administrative district. However, the current categories are a total mess. The city category includes a number of tiny villages. Martg76 09:11, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
Rename to standard form category:Government of South Korea. CalJW 07:38, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
Duplicates existing Category:Musical groups. Was (re)created on the grounds that not all musical groups are bands, but somehow missed the fact that "Musical groups" already has an overwhelming array of national and genre and time period subcategories to choose from. The vast majority of bands are already filed in one or more of those subcategories and are thus in no danger of being falsely conflated with the subset of musical groups that aren't bands. Propose either merging into Category:Musical groups with whatever kind of redirect is possible, or wildly rethinking the entire structure of musical groups and its subcategories.

- Merge into musical groups and delete. CalJW 07:37, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, but rethink the hierarchy somewhat. I think it's a bit confusing to have "Brass Quintets", "Orchestras", and "Percussion Ensembles", which are a type of musical group, in the top level of the category and somehow have bands buried further down in the hierarchy. I think that Category:Musical_groups_by_genre needs to be split up. At best, Category:Bands might be moved down into that subcategory, and appropriate subcategories included. Rock music groups are not the same as World music groups and Dance-punk musical groups, so it would help to have some distinguishing category in there. Ëvilphoenix Burn! 15:03, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
Merge into standard form category:Religion in Korea and then delete. CalJW 04:50, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
Rename to standard form category:Government of North Korea. CalJW 04:21, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
This is a very vague category for people many of who would be better placed in Category:Clever people Category:People with innate talents if they were not likely to be deleted immediately. Malcolm X: is there a school that teaches how to be a black activism leader? Is Woody Allen self taught insecure? I contend that all authors of any merit are self-taught or they have at least unlearnt. Often autodidactism is only barely mentioned in a bio and it is not one of their most significant features. Please tell me I'm not just attacking the stay-at-homes. MeltBanana 02:05, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep It's harder to define than some categories, but the trait is significant nonetheless. CalJW 04:20, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
Category:Years in rugby has three subcats (also nominated Category:2006 in rugby, Category:2005 in rugby and Category:2004 in rugby), none of them hold any articles. All they do is hold subcategories for two different sports rugby union and rugby league. Example subcats include Category:2004 in rugby league and Category:2004 in rugby union. The top level cat should be scrapped and replaced by cats relating to the two different sports i.e. Category:Years in rugby league and Category:Years in rugby union, the sub-sub cats such as Category:2004 in rugby league can then become sub-cats of the new categories.GordyB 14:01, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep Harmless. It's not exactly a lot of effort to add a couple of subcategories a year, so I'm sure someone will do it. If you want the other categories to exist as well, just go ahead and create them. They aren't incompatible with this existing scheme. CalJW 14:51, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
