Nominator's rationale: Arbitrary distinction - the articles in both categories are about both the error message and the circumstances that cause the error to trigger. * Pppery * it has begun... 21:33, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
i.e there's no relevant difference I can see between Out of memory (in the "error messages" category) and Segmentation fault (in the errors category). Ditto Guru Meditation (in error messages)/Blue screen of death (in errors). Ditto Not a typewriter (in error messages)/lp0 on fire (in errors). Unless you can explain why each of those pairs is where it is and not in the other category then they need to be merged. * Pppery * it has begun... 21:37, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This is C2D but because the title is ambiguous I'm bringing it here. While this category is using the full name, every one of the sub-categories is using "NBC" so this inconsistency isn't helping. Gonnym (talk) 17:57, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 September 16#Category:Medical doctors from the British Empire for discussions about this same issue for categories diffusing by empire as well as concerns about removing people from the defining category @Bearcat and Marcocapelle: previous participants. Mason (talk) 01:14, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. As previously, British North America was not a unified transnational polity that people were citizens of, such that "British North America" would have ever been considered their nationality — it was merely an umbrella term for a lot of different places that had their own separate nationalities, not one giant thing. A person from Upper Canada/Canada West or Lower Canada/Canada East prior to 1867 was very much still a Canadian, for instance — just because Canada wasn't fully independent yet doesn't mean Canada and Canadians didn't exist yet. It was kind of like "Leeward Islands" today: sure, that's a geographic term that encompasses a specific set of places, but all of said places also have their own more specific names and identities. You wouldn't say that a person from one of them was Leeward Islander, you'd say they were Virgin Islander or Kittitian or Antiguan or Guadeloupean or Puerto Rican or Montserratian.
    All of that said, upmerging the contents doesn't seem to be strictly necessary here. JPL mostly seems not to have done that with this set, as far as I can tell, but he used to have a habit of incorrectly replacing Canadian categories with "British North America" or "British Empire" categories instead of merely adding the British stuff as extras — so some caution should be used to ensure that nobody gets completely decategorized here, but at least among the articles I checked they were all still in appropriate and correct Canadian categories and thus don't need to be upmerged to the stated targets. Bearcat (talk) 15:01, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Upper and Lower Canada, but what difference would that make to what I said? "All of British North America" wasn't a thing at all, it was just a geographic descriptor that had no more relevance to or bearing on anybody's nationality than "Leeward Islands" does. A person from Canada was a Canadian, not a British North American; a person from the Bahamas was Bahamian, not British North American; and on and so forth. Bearcat (talk) 16:22, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, but they each had their own standalone demonyms and still never substituted "British North American" in any sense. And since every contemporary Canadian province already has its own "Pre-Confederation X people" category for people who lived there before it was a Canadian province, they never need generic "British North America" categorization since they already have more specific subcats. Bearcat (talk) 19:08, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Manually merge to an occupation in North America category, e.g. Category:North American writers, insofar subjects were not Canadians, per above discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:30, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Manually merge individuals, then delete category coming here to comment on the BNA lawyers category. I agree with Bearcat that BNA is too broad a category, but I don’t think the BNA lawyer category should be merged with the even broader "Lawyer" category. There already are categories for lawyers in each of the Canadian provinces. I think the individuals who are currently in this category could be moved to those provincial categories, then the empty BNA Lawyer category be deleted. I’ve taken a quick skim and several of the individuals were called to the bar prior to Confederation in 1867 but continued to practise after confederation, so I don’t see any inaccuracy in putting them in the provincial category, even if the bulk of their practice time was prior to Confederation (eg Papineau, Cartier). Lower Canada / Canada East and Upper Canada / Canada West are special cases. I would make a sub-cat in the existing Quebec and Ontario lawyer categories for lawyers who practised in those provinces prior to Confederation and ceased to practise before 1867. They never practised in the provinces of Quebec and Ontario, but there is clear continuity in the practice of law in those jurisdictions, so sub-cats make sense.
