:Nominator's rationale: per WP:SMALLCAT and the project/content crossover. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 21:15, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

• Rename to {{cl|Freecycling}} per article Freecycling. I have added most of the pages listed under "see also" on that page. – Fayenatic London 22:07, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
• Note: I have nominated the sub-category at CFD June 21. I declare my interest as a Freegle group moderator. – Fayenatic London 07:32, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
• Rename per FL. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 23:20, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: merge/rename per FL's revised proposal. The Bushranger _{One ping only} 01:28, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Palaces in Thailand to :Category:Royal residences in Thailand

:*Renaming :Category:Palaces in Bangkok to :Category:Royal residences in Bangkok

:Nominator's rationale: There are two overlapping categorisations schemes used here (:Category:Royal residences and :Category:Palaces) because "not all palaces are royal residences", but that is not the case in Thailand. All the members of these categories are royal residences, and all may be colloquially referred to as palaces (in specific contexts palaces may refer to only a subset of royal residences, though this use is technical and uncommon). Paul_012 (talk) 10:21, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

• Restructure, moving all the articles into :Category:Royal residences in Thailand and making it a sub-category of "Palaces". Keep both categories because they are each part of head categories by country. – Fayenatic London 22:10, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
• Wouldn't it be better to have a single category which is a subcat of both by country trees? Maybe merge both of the above to :Category:Palaces and royal residences in Thailand or something like that. --Paul_012 (talk) 15:45, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
• I'm not aware of any guideline that would decide this, so it is largely a matter of taste. I don't think :Category:Palaces and royal residences in Thailand would convey that all the members are both Palaces and Royal residences. The advantage of both your suggestions over mine is that the existence of two categories means in practice that editors are likely to put pages into both, which is unnecessary in this case. – Fayenatic London
• Changing my opinion to merge and rename as nominated, but keep the existing categories as category redirects to the merge/rename targets, because editors are likely to be puzzled otherwise. Make :Category:Royal residences in Thailand a member of :Category:Palaces by country as well, and add an explanatory note along the lines stated in the nomination; add this on the redirect pages too. – Fayenatic London 16:40, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
• Comment I agree with Paul 012. Creating :Category:Palaces and royal residences in Thailand would be more affective. Having :Category:Royal residences in Thailand a subcat of :Category:Palaces could be misleading or confusing. Brad7777 (talk) 13:36, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
• Support Fayenatic's last proposal. This seems a good solution. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:30, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
