Nominator's rationale: That the Middle spotted woodpecker is found in Latvia is a WP:NON-DEFINING characteristic of that species. Note: This category was created after Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2014_August_8#Category:Birds_of_Lithuania. List of birds of Latvia is rather more comprehensive.

Category:6th-century Spanish monarchs

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: no consensus to delete. Some favored replacing "Spanish" with "Iberian", but there's not enough of a clear consensus here for that action. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:25, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Ahistorical categorization with a potential for misleading readers: the Iberian peninsula is not coterminous with modern Spain, and one should be wary of referring to Roman or Visigoth Hispania as "Spain" pure and simple when the context is not otherwise clarified; most importantly, it is a very dubious concept to have "Spanish people" in the 5th and 6th centuries or to have the Gothic kings called "Spanish monarchs"... Constantine ✍ 10:13, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Not a bad idea, but the problem with "Iberian" is that it could equally refer to the monarchs of Caucasian Iberia for this timeframe. I would support a pruning of our "Spanish" categories though, which seem to include even people from al-Andalus as "Spanish" people. Constantine ✍ 20:09, 20 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment In that case I suggest that 5th and 6th century English, French and Italian people are deleted as well, because none of these modern nations (or their medieval predecessors) had been established yet. In that case, Spanish, English, French and Italian should be interpreted as a geographic term and therefore dealt in the same manner. --Gligan (talk) 15:07, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hugo999 Sure, we need to avoid anachronism. This is the ongoing editorial tendency, in order to prevent edit-warring (Sudan/South Sudan, Iraqi Kurdistan/Iraq, Morocco/Western Sahara, etc.) and crazy rename procedures if new states arise or existing ones disappear (which happens every now and then).GreyShark (dibra) 10:08, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Netherlands Antilles articles correct after Dissolution

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 12:26, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is a more than four years old hidden category with no clear purpose. I'm guessing this is related to the Netherlands Antilles dissolution. Ricky81682 (talk) 07:59, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:27, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
other categories
Nominator's rationale: That, for example, the European water vole is found in Lebanon, Jerboa found in Egypt or Kuhl's pipistrelle found in the UAE is a WP:NON-DEFINING characteristic. Note: In some cases (example) categorizing under the Middle East (countries) is dubious. For info: Related previous discussions: Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2015_May_18#Category:Birds_of_the_Palestinian_territories and Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2014_April_9#Category:Mammals_of_Monaco. The list articles (List of mammals of X) should also be upmerged to the corresponding "Fauna of X" category. DexDor (talk) 05:40, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Birds of Kurdistan

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: merge. MER-C 12:55, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category was accidentally omitted from the recent discussion - Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2015_May_18#Category:Birds_of_the_Palestinian_territories. Note: Kurdistan probably has rather more than 5 bird species so this category may be rather incomplete. DexDor (talk) 05:12, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. – Fayenatic London 18:48, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete. In previous nominations, Greek colonies in a current country have been renamed to Greek colonies in a contemporary region. We can now also remove the parent category of the no-longer-existing country subcats. Its only content concerns Libya, but this is also in Category:Greek colonies by region.

including all subcategories here
Nominator's rationale: The parallel category is Category:Military installations by date of closure. There needs to be consistency. Rather than date of establishments/disestablishments, buildings and structures uses Category:Buildings and structures by year of completion. It does use Category:Buildings and structures by year of demolition and not Category:Buildings and structures by year of closure so nothing is completely consistent. Ricky81682 (talk) 00:40, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No harm! Thanks for starting it up! -- Ricky81682 (talk) 09:37, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'd say military installations fit more like buildings while Category:Military units and formations is better for organizations. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 09:37, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose a wholesale change. The 1724 category is misconceived: a regiment conducted exercises on a heath. It was not a camp (or barracks) and hence not certainly completed in 1724, probably not even started then. The 1748 item may be a foudnation date not completion. The 1904 item was built 1904-09; 1904 is a foundation date, not completion. I have not checked further, but suspect that the whole nom is misconceived. Merge all annual categories to decades: many will still not be populated well, also merging to an annual Buildings and structures category by country if necessary. Category:Organizations by year of establishment is clearly inapproipriate for what is essentially a complex of buildings. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:13, 20 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep as is. Establishment is a firm start date; continued building may go on for a long time so 'completion date' may be totally arbitrary and meaningless to the purpose of this categorization. Hmains (talk) 04:50, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
