Nominator's rationale: The only two articles inside are about ARA San Juan (S-42) whose wreck since then has been found, so no longer lost. Brandmeistertalk 14:59, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: delete/merge/rename, the characterization of a hotel as 'historic' is subjective when the hotel is not listed as such. We already have categories for listed buildings. This is a follow-up on this earlier discussion in which User:Hugo999, User:SuperChris and User:Hmains participated. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:56, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose too broad of a brush - While I understand the rationale - something that is historic is a listed building - does Nigeria have a historic building listing? This also includes buildings which may not have been demolished, but no longer exist, like Roman fort, Mušov in the Czech category, which clearly is not a current "building or structure". SportingFlyer talk 14:47, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose If there is a problem with "historic" being too subjective a term (and I don't think there's much of a problem at all actually), we should explain in each category description what is intended. Also the proposed target categories are also (to a similar extent) subjective. National names and borders change; at what point in history do we select the name? What is included in a building or structure? Nonbuilding structure suggests most bus stops are. Is that intended in our categorization scheme? Thincat (talk) 10:58, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • What is subjective about the target categories? E.g. bank buildings or gas stations seems completely unambiguous. They are certainly not subjective to the same extent since the "historic" part has been removed. Furthermore, if we should explain in each category description what is intended then what is intended by "historic"? Marcocapelle (talk) 20:51, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming

The articles for two of the Emirates of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have been moved to reflect the modern spellings of their names in English, as used by the government & municipality - Ras Al Khaimah and Umm Al Quwain. However, the categories associated with them are still Ras al-Khaimah and Umm al-Quwain. Can someone with rights/access please do a global search/replace? I started to try this on Ras Al Khaimah preparatory to moving the category page but the task is a tad too much manually... Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 09:34, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

For instance:

Category:Ras al-Khaimah user templates

Template:User citizen Ras al-Khaimah

Template:User from Ras al-Khaimah

Template:User in Ras al-Khaimah

Template:User interest Ras al-Khaimah

Template:User Ras al-Khaimah WG
