Redundant category as all the Texas hold 'em poker hands are in one article (Texas hold 'em hands) and so should go to the higher cat. Ziggurat 23:26, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

The correct name for people from Manchuria is Manchus not Manchurians. The Manchus category has been created and the few articles in the Manchurians category moved there. Deeem 15:58, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

• Keep both: The meaning of the two terms are not the same. Manchus are an ethnic group, whereas Manchurians are people who live in or are associated with Manchuria. — Instantnood 16:37, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

It is confusing that Tasmania has localities not part of Geography. Other states don't have a separate localities category. I propose Merging {{cl|Tasmanian localities}} into {{cl|Geography of Tasmania}}. --Scott Davis ^Talk 01:43, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

• Merge as proposed. CalJW 22:42, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was Discussion relocated to Category talk:Animals by geography --Kbdank71 14:24, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

This nomination aims both at selecting a standard for Wikipedia:Naming conventions (categories)#Categories by country and regularizing the various usages for child categories of Animals by geography.

Currently, styles in use include:

• Wildlife of foo
• Africa, Europe, Madagascar, Sahara, Trinidad and Tobago
• Fauna of foo
• Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Africa, Chile, Korea, Mexico, Peru, Philippines, Singapore, Slovenia, :category:Birds of Australia :category:Birds of India
• Fooian animals
• Arctic, Australian animals
• Fooian fauna
• Argentina
• Foo animals
• New Zealand, New Zealand (birds)
• Oddballs
• :category:Flora and fauna of Hong Kong, :category:Hungarian breeds (of dog), :category:Hawaii native fauna, :category:Birds in Britain

I think the most straightforward option is "Animals/birds of foo". While "fauna of foo" is acceptable by itself, we might as well stay consistant with "animals" for child cats of "Animals by geography" and "Animals by country"...

:Comment This page is for running votes to actually delete or rename categories. Not sure where is the appropriate place to hold this discussion, but this page is not it. This needs to be fleshed out before being brought back as a specific proposal for mass renaming. Also, when it returns, every single effected subcategory needs to be tagged as being under rename proposal. TexasAndroid 13:44, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

• I suggest they should all be "flora and fauna" or "native animals and plants" and then subcategories for things like birds can be created as required. At the moment, many are almost empty. Honbicot 00:08, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

All the subcategories are "Railway stations in X". The parent category is :category:Rail transport and "Rail" is dominant among the other subcategories. Rename :category:Railway stations CalJW 00:38, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was merge to :Category:Food services occupations --Kbdank71 14:22, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

These should probably be merged into the latter catagory as there are too few articles for one category, probably with the word related removed. Failing that they should be made distinct. MeltBanana 00:25, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

• Merge both to :Category:Food services occupations. siafu 01:03, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge both to :Category:Food services occupations. Standard term for the industry, so it fits better. --Calton | Talk 05:37, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
