- Nominator's rationale: Why are there two categories for the same country? The main article is at Denmark which notes that the official name is the Kingdom of Denmark. However, on Wikipedia the common name is used. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 22:29, 10 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment, the answer to the question is easy: Category:Denmark is about Denmark proper, while Category:Kingdom of Denmark includes the Faroer Islands and Greenland. Finding a solution for that problem is less easy. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:05, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment, even "common names" relating to Danish politics are likely to be unfamiliar to many English speakers. The Dutch Category:Kingdom of the Netherlands and Category:Netherlands are similar. TSventon (talk) 09:20, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose They are different entities.Laurel Lodged (talk) 12:48, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose. It is confusing, and thus is not ideal and could potentially be renamed for clarity if anybody can figure out a good way to make the categories less confusing — but Marcocapelle is correct about the distinction: "Denmark" is the country that sticks out of northern Germany, while the "Kingdom of Denmark" is that plus the Faroe Islands plus Greenland. There is indeed a necessary distinction here, it's just not as easy to figure out how to communicate that in a way that doesn't look redundant to the uninitiated.

- Oppose - the parent Kingdom of Denmark is mostly at present what it should be at best: a container of containers category for topics in the 3 constituent parts of the monarchy, namely Faroe, Greenland and Denmark proper. Place Clichy (talk) 08:51, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- Nominator's rationale: As per the previous nomination, this category makes little sense historically. It would only prove useful if non-European matters can be categorized under European eras for the sake of cross-cultural comparison. Nevertheless, I'd like to get a current consensus on the matter. --Invokingvajras (talk) 19:50, 10 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Support, setting up a medieval tree would only be meaningful if there would be a number of topic articles about Jains in the Middle Ages. Since Indian historiography does not clearly distinguish a medieval period comparable to Europe, those articles are probably not going to be written. (Note that the subcategories are also in a by-century tree so nothing is lost with plain deletion.) Marcocapelle (talk) 01:48, 12 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- Nominator's rationale: All six of these categories combined include just nine articles total. It's not necessary or useful to subcategorize city councillors this narrowly — with one or two exceptions, we don't even subcategorize national legislators in most countries for each individual session they served in, let alone city councillors. We simply don't need seven separate categories to contain six people and three lists: just the one parent category is entirely sufficient here, and navigation is not aided by reassigning just nine articles into six partially overlapping WP:SMALLCATs.

- Nominator's rationale: All the subcategories are along the lines of Fooish music. But the lead article in each case is Music of Foo. Should we change them all? Rathfelder (talk) 13:15, 10 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
