Categories using 'Historic'
Rename: There are about 138 categories whose titles start with 'Historic' or 'Historical' or 'Historically'. This link should show them . Many are historic houses, and it looks like someone is creating a large scheme for those. Other examples of these 'historic' categories are no-longer-existing objects, like historical flags, and so forth. Though the lists at Category:Historical animals are not so informative. Two in particular that I want to see changed are Category:Historic fires renamed to Category:Fires, and Category:Historic weather events to be manually depopulated and then deleted. But maybe this general 'historic' issue needs to be flagged for people to examine each example on a case by case basis? It would also be good to get the view of those who have experience categorising in the history sections. Carcharoth 02:29, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
Category:Grand Dukes of Luxembourg to Category:Dukes and Grand Dukes of Luxembourg
It was suggested in a previous Cfd that this category be renamed to handle both current and past Dukes. ∞Who?¿? 00:42, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
Category:Hellenic languages and dialects
I have been unable to find out or figure out how this category is supposed to be different from Category:Greek language, which at present is a subcategory of it. On July 6, I posted a question to both Category talk:Hellenic languages and dialects and Category talk:Greek language as to what the difference is supposed to be. I got no answer. On July 29, I made an RFC for the two categories, again asking what the difference is supposed to be; still no answer. After RFC got split up into different categories, the question was put into RFC/History and geography. On September 2, I moved it to RFC/Language and linguistics; still no answer to this question. If no one knows what the difference is supposed to be, I propose moving everything from Category:Hellenic languages and dialects to Category:Greek language, deleting the former, and making the latter a subcategory of Category:Indo-European languages.
