British Burma
British Burma was distinct from the rest of Burma from 1826-1885. There were two areas, one British ruled and the other not. We need to have distinct categories to reflect this reality on the ground.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:19, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Netherlands categories
Tim, is there a CFD discussion that supports moving categories from the Neterlands to the Dutch Republic like here. Otherwise, you're just moving categories around and then some listed for C1 while the tree remains. Category:18th-century establishments in the Netherlands is still there and and yet there's Category:18th-century establishments in the Dutch Republic. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 01:57, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I had thought that the categories such as Category:Years of the 17th century in the Dutch Republic had been decided by a CFD but it was three years ago so I could be mistaken. Tim! (talk) 07:02, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, if there had been, there would have been something deleted somewhere and it would have shown up when I created them but maybe you should just propose something to clarify. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 08:50, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

I have closed this, and made speedy nominations for Category:1790s establishments in the Netherlands and Category:1798 establishments in the Netherlands, but will leave it to you or others to follow up into the 1800s (see Category:19th-century establishments in the Netherlands / Category:Establishments in the Netherlands by decade). – Fayenatic  L ondon 14:43, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

Years in Canadian states
Re the years by Canadian state/territory, it is simple enough to use the standard “years in” template to simplify navigating beteween years, see Category:2008 in Newfoundland and Labrador as against Category:2008 in Manitoba. (sorry its not in Beige!) It could be modified to "Years of the 19th century" etc for Nova Scotia. Hugo999 (talk) 01:41, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Category:Annual awards
I'm wondering if this is a good idea. Most awards are annual. In literature awards, it's probably 95% or more of all awards. This category would contain almost every single article in the "Awards" space which doesn't seem like a good idea. It would make sense to have cats for the others (semi-annual, bi-annual etc). -- Green  C  19:59, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
 * After further consideration I think you are right so I have nominated it for deletion here. Tim! (talk) 20:02, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

Appreciated
Barbstars are too cheep, your recent project tagging on talk pages is appreciated and to be commended, all we now is the rest of the 200k + eds who simply do the face work (main page), and who ignore project tags completely, and the place will be so much better. Thanks JarrahTree 01:01, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

In 1866 "British Burma" is essentially another name for Lower Burma. It was a distinct country from Upper Burma at that time.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:28, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

Years of demolition of buildings
Re the categories by year, I have added navigation templates to the series for "Buildings and Structures" and "Sports venues" eg Category:Buildings and structures demolished in 2010 and Category:Sports venues demolished in 2010 Hugo999 (talk) 10:41, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that, always makes them easier to navigate with that type of template added. Tim! (talk) 05:57, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Category:Order of the Netherlands Lion and subcategories relisted
Hello. You participated in either the CFD discussion to delete the above category and its subcategories or the DRV discussion regarding those categories (or both). The result of the DRV was to relist the categories for discussion. This is a notification that they have now been relisted for discussion here. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:44, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
