Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Places


 * Category:Places and various subcats were listed for deletion on March 20, 2005. Consensus was to Delete everything.

Assuming Category:Places by country and Category:Populated places are deleted, this overly general category should go as well. -- Rick Block 19:04, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Summary after 2 weeks &mdash; no votes => move to unresolved
 * Umm, since there were no objections, the nomination is carried but since there were dependencies, it would only move to unresolved if those dependencies were not deleted. RedWolf 07:40, Apr 3, 2005 (UTC)

Category:Places in Ukraine
Countries are places, so IMO these categories are redundant with the corresponding country categories. -- Rick Block 18:58, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep Countries are hardly the only type of place. The intention of these categories is perfectly clear to me. A number of common subcategories of national menus belong in them, but most do not. I designed more of the architecture of the category:United Kingdom menu than anyone else, and chose not to have a places category, putting the relevant categories in the main menu or one tier down instead, but I don't object to this form of category as an intermediate link if some people think it is useful.

 * I disagree, it's too broad a category, and it is a superfluous step between Category:Russia and Category:Cities in Russia. Delete. Radiant_* 08:46, Mar 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. -Kbdank71 14:25, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, even though the proposer's reasoning is wacky; it's an unhelpful intermediate step. Gene Nygaard 18:40, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
