Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Places

Category:Places and various subcats were listed for deletion on March 20, 2005. Consensus was to Delete everything.

Assuming Category:Places by country and Category:Populated places are deleted, this overly general category should go as well. -- Rick Block 19:04, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Summary after 2 weeks — no votes => move to unresolved

Umm, since there were no objections, the nomination is carried but since there were dependencies, it would only move to unresolved if those dependencies were not deleted. RedWolf 07:40, Apr 3, 2005 (UTC)

Countries are places, so IMO these categories are redundant with the corresponding country categories. -- Rick Block 18:58, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Summary after 2 weeks — 3:1 for Delete => move to section 5.2 below

Keep Countries are hardly the only type of place. The intention of these categories is perfectly clear to me. A number of common subcategories of national menus belong in them, but most do not. I designed more of the architecture of the category:United Kingdom menu than anyone else, and chose not to have a places category, putting the relevant categories in the main menu or one tier down instead, but I don't object to this form of category as an intermediate link if some people think it is useful.

I disagree, it's too broad a category, and it is a superfluous step between Category:Russia and Category:Cities in Russia. Delete. Radiant _* 08:46, Mar 21, 2005 (UTC)

Delete, even though the proposer's reasoning is wacky; it's an unhelpful intermediate step. Gene Nygaard 18:40, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
