 * Suggest merging Category:Cities in Norway to Category:Cities and towns in Norway
 * Nominator's rationale: Merge. I consider this a technical nomination. In researching Category:Unincorporated cities in Norway I found that Category:Cities in Norway was a redirect to Category:Cities and towns in Norway and yet it has a large number of articles.  So rather then act based on the redirect and move stuff, I felt that it should be brought here for a discussion. Vegaswikian (talk) 19:56, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Please see the discussion here. I created the Cities and Towns in Norway category a few days ago following that discussion. I were originally going to merge the categories by hand but as the instructions page says that "Placing this template on a category will alert a bot to reclassify all pages from that category to the redirect target", I decided to wait for the bot instead. Apparently, the bot is not doing its job for unknown reasons, so it seems a manual merge will be necessary. I'm not sure we we need to discuss it here, though. --Aqwis (talk – contributions) 20:24, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
