Empty category, only used for hoax material by User:Sibinia. Silesian (to the extent that it is a separate language at all) never was a written language, so we wouldn't expect manuscript images to exist. Fut.Perf. 09:53, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Could you explain Category:Silesian text? - Themightyquill (talk) 08:52, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure what's there to explain? Category:Silesian text contains a handful of Wikipedia graphics and computer screenshots where people have localized captions or software UIs in Silesian – which is of course legitimate. But the "manuscripts" category are for historical material, and if any historical manuscript ever was produced in such a language, we don't have an image of it.

Delete, bogus category. Trees don't speak languages, hence no need to categorize them by the language family of the country in which they stand. Items can be kept in the existing Category:Famous Quercus in Poland etc Fut.Perf. 11:08, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This category seems to be the same as c:Category:Parliament diagrams of regional legislature elections in Spain, including each one of the subcategories. Merging these two categories with their subcategories seems to be common sense Tpe.g5.stan (talk) 19:28, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

'French fries' are a subset, not the main type. They are typically the narrower version that you might find in fast food places; you wouldn't call the normal types of chips 'french fries'. From a British perspective, this category should just be moved to Category:Chips - but perhaps Category:Fries might be more international? Starting this discussion to see what others think! Mike Peel (talk) 19:40, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand what you have in mind. French fries are a subset of Category:Fried potatoes and are categorized as such. The wikipedia is at en:French fries because it's unambiguous. Category:Chips (a disambig page) is obviously ambigious. Category:Fries is also ambiguous, and might also be turned into a disambig page. - Themightyquill (talk) 08:51, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

refus obstiné et répété de se conformer aux règles de nommage (usage du pluriel) et vandalisme répété sur la catégorie correctement nommée : Iberian horses Finoskov (talk) 22:30, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment This user is, falsely accusing others (i.e. me) of vandalism) but he "forgot" to mention that is he that has tried to move this category from singular to plural (nominating the singular one to speedy deletion and altering the wikidata item), despite what was showed in the above discussion and other similar categories being named in the singular. Clearly this category is the right one per Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/User_problems/Archive_93#Conflit_avec_User:Tm, where the majority of similar categories are in horse and not horses, per comments of others on the same page, the articles in Català, Español, Français, Italiano, Română and Svenska are in singular as well as the wikidata item.
Besides articles in several Wikipedias being in singular as "ca Cavall ibèric", "es Caballo ibérico" "fr Cheval ibérique", "it Cavallo ibericoro", "Cal iberic" and "sv Spansk häst" there are several sources that call this the iberian horse like an an magazine specialized in the Iberian horse is called Iberian Horse Magazine and this magazine is made by the International Andalusian & Lusitano Horse Association, so the name, present in several languages is in singular, not plural, as this category that has existed since at least 2018.
Besides the sources i provided to the singular, and zero sources provided to the plural case, here in commons he have in Category:Horse breeds by name, there is only 4 categories that use the plural, 17 that use the "(horse)", 38 that use "Horse" and around 115 that use "horse".

Duplicate of an earlier category that has a typo and could be moved. Pedro P. Palazzo (talk) 18:24, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Arqpalazzo: this category is not a duplicate anymore, after Category: Roman Architecture (Flecther) was deleted. So we keep this category, am I correct?--Estopedist1 (talk) 12:18, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am considering spinning off a category titled "+ in logos" or something along those lines. I am looking for feedback on what that category should be called... "+ in logos", "+ signs in logos"? Astros4477 (talk) 18:54, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Good question. I see we have Category:Letters in logos, Category:Question marks in logos and Category:! in logos so there's no clear consensus. On that note, it's a little weird that we have Category:+ but also Category:Minus sign. - Themightyquill (talk) 22:03, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No insult to anyone but Category:+ is just needlessly obtuse. I say change it to Category:Plus sign and then create Category:Logos of the plus sign or something like that. Category:Plus sign logos wouldn't make any sense or follow the category naming conventions for logos. --Adamant1 (talk) 16:51, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done - category for Category:+ in logos has been created.--Astros4477 (talk) 19:55, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Although this newly created category calls for it not to be confused with De (Latin surname particle), that is disengenious — Category:de (Latin surname particle) was exactly created to cover the Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Catalan onomastic particle "de" (and even Latin, i.e. ancient Roman, if need be). Having a separate category for Italian as opposed to other romance languages seems to hinder more than it helps. -- Tuválkin 09:21, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The description of this category specifies that it includes content from both the University of California, Berkeley, and the surrounding city. The category should be merged into Category:University of California, Berkeley and Category:Berkeley, California as appropriate.  Mysterymanblue  08:04, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I definitely agree. Even if it didn't have combined content, this is not a good category name. For what it's worth, UC Berkeley is often called "Cal Berkeley". --Auntof6 (talk) 08:10, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the name is no good either. "Cal Berkeley" is what some people call "UC Berkeley", but it is neither the most common nor an officially recognized nickname for the school.  Mysterymanblue  10:11, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

delete because empty, name should only be Marsetio Regards, Jeromi Mikhael (marhata) 04:55, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

recommend converting empty category into redirect since all previous contents have been moved to Category:Marsetio and thirteen of the twenty photographs there refer to the subject as Adm. Dr. Marsetio. – Maliepa (talk) 15:26, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Category:Dr. Marsetio, and no need for redirecting. Enwiki also hasn't redirect en:Dr. Marsetio for en:Marsetio. Name using at the file description is weak argument. Noticing @Maliepa: --Estopedist1 (talk) 13:04, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The abbreviation OJSC used in the title is the English translation of a Russian term for publicly traded company (ПАО PAO or OAO) which as such is neither obvious to English speakers (OJSC is nowhere explained) and even less to nor to non-English speakers.

This category ought to be renamed either simply Russian Railways to use the more common company name RZD Zenwort (talk) 07:24, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

PAUL = patronyme, Hermann = troisième prénom devenu prénom d'usage et il existe une catégorie correctement nommée elle-même soumise à discussion et vidée de tout fichier alors qu'elle me parait la seule valable. Finoskov (talk) 17:00, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Finoskov: enwiki article is en:Hermann-Paul. Can someone sees here any problem? French comment seems fuzzy, when trusting Google Translate--Estopedist1 (talk) 09:33, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Apparently he was born René Georges Hermann Paul (so Paul - family name, Hermann - third name), but called himself Hermann-Paul. We could make a redirect at Category:René Georges Hermann Paul for completeness' sake, but I don't think it's necessary. --rimshottalk 23:04, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Is it useful to separate Category:Cloister yards from Category:Cloisters since most (if not all) images will include both? Themightyquill (talk) 08:12, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Themightyquill: Here -> Category:Cloister yard, Sé de Lisboa it was useful, as the purpose was to identify the specific space limited by the cloister, and not the cloister properly (which includes that space, but also the corridors, colonnades, etc.-- Darwin Ahoy! 12:10, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep: I want to keep this category (and its sub categories). Cloister yards should be seperated from cloisters. My reasons:
  1. Indeed, to identify the specific space within a cloister, especially when there are (too) many files in the main category.
  2. To be able to specify court yards of different types of buildings (Category:Courtyards by building function) and cloisters is one of them.

There has already been the Category:Locator maps of corporate facilities, for which I created a new subcategory Category:World maps locating corporate facilities. This category only had three images, none of which showed an actual world map, so I moved them to the first named above. Please consider all three categories: Is there a better naming/structure that may be used for these kind of enterprise maps? Enyavar (talk) 01:21, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
