 * The result of the discussion was: rename. Kbdank71 13:30, 30 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Propose renaming:
 * Category:Western Cape Province to Category:Western Cape
 * Category:Western Cape districts to Category:Districts of the Western Cape
 * Category:Western Cape Province municipalities to Category:Municipalities of the Western Cape
 * Category:People from the Western Cape Province to Category:People from the Western Cape
 * Category:Premiers of Western Cape to Category:Premiers of the Western Cape
 * Category:Universities and colleges in Western Cape Province to Category:Universities and colleges in the Western Cape
 * Nominator's rationale: Rename:
 * so that the main category name matches the main article at Western Cape.
 * to establish uniformity of naming across the various subcategories.
 * to match the way that the name is normally used, that is "XYZ (of/in/from) the Western Cape". For evidence of this usage see for example Provincial Government of the Western Cape or this news article.

 * Support. The province name is Western Cape, not Western Cape Province.  Including the word Province is like having categories "People from Kentucky State" or "People from the country Burkina Faso".  Zaian (talk) 09:19, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Support. It will make more sense and is the correct name. --NJR_ZA (talk) 05:45, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Note: See Category:Provinces of South Africa, Category:People by province in South Africa, Category:Districts of South Africa, Category:Universities and colleges in South Africa. If the Western Cape categories are renamed, all categories for the other 8 provinces should be renamed too, for consistency. Zaian (talk) 13:00, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm working on it. (Though anyone else who wants to is, of course, also welcome to do so.) Do you think it would be better if we do it in one mass nomination, or as a separate nomination for each province? - htonl (talk) 13:06, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
