While this might be a legitimate category in its own right with different content, it is actually closer to the content found in the categories in category:Conservation by country so it should be merged into category:Conservation in Thailand. The national parks category is also in category:national parks by country, which is in category:Parks. The wildlife sanctuaries are not parks in the normal sense, and nor are the historical parks, which are mostly ancient buildings. Conservation is the best and standard place for them.

 * Closing note, although there is a 2/3, which could be used for a merge, I prefer 70% for merge/deletion. Also the main issue is mis-categorization, and the keep vote raises a valid objection for keeping for valid articles. Category kept, recategorize where appropriate. &infin; Who ? &iquest; ?  03:04, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Category:Religious movements has only two subcategories and three articles that are not materially different from the subcategories and articles listed under Category:Religious faiths, traditions, and movements.

This is not a standard category. It was only in the Georgia (country) menu when I found it. The standard form would be "Georgian (country) organisations", but that awkward form is not used for any other categories, and it sounds like it has something to do with country and western music to me, so I suggest renaming it category:Organisations in Georgia (country) CalJW 19:30, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

from speedy To align with "roads in foo" convention specified at Naming conventions (categories) for subcats of Category:Roads by country. -- Rick Block (talk) 14:19, 30 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Possibly moving expressways to a subcategory of the category for roads, and hold until the disagreements around the use of the term "mainland China" (which means the PRC minus Hong Kong and Macao) on Wikipedia is settled. &mdash; Instantnood 11:07, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Where and when might this be settled? -- Rick Block (talk) 14:21, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Rename per nom. If the mainland China issue is resolved indicated that PRC should be replaced with "mainland China" (unlikely) then we'll just have a bot do it. siafu 13:30, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

from speedy To align with "roads in foo" convention specified at Naming conventions (categories) for subcats of Category:Roads by country. -- Rick Block (talk) 14:19, 30 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep. This category is for both roads and streets. &mdash; Instantnood 11:07, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Is there some specific difference between a road and a street, perhaps peculiar to Hong Kong? 15 of the 17 subcats in Category:Roads by country are just "roads in".  The question is why should Hong Kong be different? -- Rick Block (talk) 14:24, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Rename. Streets are roads and roads are streets, unless someone can provide a clear delineation outside of wikipedia. siafu 13:38, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: Roads may be a general term... but usually streets are shorter and narrower, and roads are longer and wider here. This category is intended for all these passages. &mdash; Instantnood 16:42, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Rename. I remember a related discussion over roads and streets, and it appears that streets are often considered a sub-section of roads. Hence, a Category:Streets in Hong Kong cat may be created if there is a need to and made a subsection of Category:Roads in Hong Kong.--Huaiwei 16:23, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment With reference to the above three votes, is this becoming a proposal in which we have Category:Highways in Taiwan as a subcategory of category:roads in the Republic of China?--Huaiwei 16:36, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * That's what it sounds like to me.  -- Rick Block (talk) 17:59, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * If that is what this is becoming, then I oppose the move. I would think Category:Highways in Taiwan continuing as a subcat of Category:Highways in the Republic of China, and the later of which as a sub-cat of Category:Roads in the Republic of China is far more appropriate. --Huaiwei 18:17, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Agree. &mdash; Instantnood 05:43, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Closing note the discussion was to keep and make other categories a sub-cat or parent cat. This is a categorization issue, and not necessarily a CFD issue, its good to have the discussion, but no changes will be made. Be bold! and create the proposed category, and add sub-cats and articles as necessary, but the main category will not be renamed. &infin; Who ? &iquest; ?  02:26, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

I only discovered this when creating, and there are enough unsorted ones simply in for several others - and probably quite a few uncategorised articles or articles which should be written.

 * Objection to form of proposal There is no such naming convention. The word "images" does not appear on the page linked. It is an unresolved matter on its talk page. There is no general rule that the "of" form should be used except for natural features. Images are not natural features. Thus we are being asked to create policy, not to implement it. CalJW 08:18, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, there is no existing convention listed at Naming conventions (categories) for the subcats of Category:Images by country. The request is to create such a convention (not change any policy) and the proposed convention admittedly differs from the existing de facto standard.  CFD is the place to institute and change these conventions, as described on the naming conventions page.  -- Rick Block (talk) 14:01, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose all. To quote my comments on the talk page:
 * The problem is that 48 out of 49 national categories are in "X images" format, while the subcategories of category:Images of places are in "Images of X" format. But apart from the categories for U.S. states "Images of places" is almost empty. Thus we have two different standards and Category:Images of United States is the intersection point. I favour "Images X" because not all the images in these categories show the whole of the place named. To me, "Images of the United States" only completely appropriate for satellite photos. An image of say a Harley Davidson is an image "from" or "taken in" the United States. Thus it's easiest to stick to "United States images" to cover all types of images, and all the continental and US state categories should be amended to reflect the convention used for countries. CalJW 01:52, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * CalJW 08:18, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * What are these "49 national categories" to which you refer? 49 is not the number of categories being discussed, and 20 of the "X images" categories are empty and thus do not indicate any consensus.   Also notice how many of these categories are near the start of the alphabet; they indicate a single user's project rather than a consensus.  (SEWilco 16:00, 30 September 2005 (UTC))
 * How about "X-related images"? That would matches the form used for two other national "content type" categories, category:lists by country and the by country categories in Category:Stub categories. The subcategories of Category:Maps use the "X maps" form. The current proposal is a departure from a de facto standard, rather than being in compliance with a policy as claimed. CalJW 08:47, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge those duplicated (e.g. Canada, Australia, India) according to consensus. &mdash; Instantnood 10:57, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Rename all. --Kbdank71 13:19, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Rename all. These obviously should be "of country" or "in country" categories (either as Man-made objects or Natural features), and the convention states in Naming conventions (categories)#How to name the country: "For "of country" and "in country" categories, the name of the country should appear as it does in the name of of the article about that country" (SEWilco 14:59, 30 September 2005 (UTC))
 * Rename all per my comments of previous discussion, to whit "I have no problem understanding that images of the Statue of Liberty or the White House are images of the United States. Isn't that the common way to refer to groups of images of objects within a country, they are images of that country. I suggest that the (current) format is unusual and not perhaps common usage." Hiding talk 15:42, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment This constant insistence that there is an established consensus on this matter when there is not, and I have pointed that out in the plainest terms, is lamentable conduct. CalJW 19:45, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Rename all. Current "X images" is grammatically unacceptable and does not fit with all other country-specific categories. siafu 13:46, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Rename to standard form: category:Schools in South Africa as per all but one of the other categories in schools by country. (But I don't think the other one should be changed (though it should be made a subcategory) which is another example of why these should not be speedies). CalJW 06:41, 30 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Rename and add "Schools in foo" as the convention for subcats of Category:Schools by country to Naming conventions (categories). -- Rick Block (talk) 23:35, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Will make Category:Films by star consistent internally and parallel Category:Films by director in terms of naming regimen, also eliminates the "Clint Eastwood films" ambiguity problem identified earlier. -The Tom 04:34, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * The delete all argument seems convincing, again with the "except Muppets" proviso. -The Tom


 * Don't bother renaming. There are only a few at the moment, but its a bad precedent. If we allow "Films by Star", it could expand to a massive number of unnecessary categories: almost every leading actor could have their own category. Just for example, how many categories would The Longest Day be in, or A Bridge Too Far? Delete all of them except Category:Muppet films which can be a sub-cat of Category:Film series.
