one of you might follow up that CFD with a group nomination;
I could reconsider my close and revise it to "no consensus", and revert these 11 categories to "Poland";
or is an RfC required on wider questions covering some adjacent locations and periods? –

Comment - pretty evident to me that we should rename all relevant categories to Congress Poland as a follow-up. A lack of rename action doesn't imply that the consensus is void.

Option 4: create child categories as originally envisaged. I've done that for the 20th-century categories.

Note that I opposed the nomination. If any of the advocates of the rename is going to nominate the related categories for rename I won't oppose this time, for consistency reasons. But if nobody is going to react at all, reconsideration of the closure is appropriate, also for consistency reasons.

Laurel Lodged, that's not how I read that discussion. And it utterly perverse to have "Cat:YYYY in Poland" as a subcat of "Cat:YYY0s in Congress Poland". That making the narrow topic a parent of the wider topic, which makes no sense.
Either rename all the chronology cats for the whole period to "Congress Poland", or keep them all as "Poland"; alternatively have "YYYY in Congress Poland" as a subcat of "YYYY in Poland" But having the years as "Poland" and the decades as "Congress Poland" is perverse.
By my reading of it, there was an imperative to create sub-categories and to populate them by year. I've done some more work on this as an illustration of what it looks like. I've not populated them fully. The double category direction for some articles (e.g. those in
Category:1910 establishments in Congress Poland) might end up being a useful, permanent thing to do. I'll stop now with the "to be" examples until clearer direction emerges.

For goodness sake, @

I remember a discussion a few years back involving a template for Irish TDs. Was it Template:S-par/ie/oi? Anyway, the discussion was underway as to whether it should be 1 politician "pre" or multiple politicians "pre", seeing as Irish constituencies are multi-seat, or not to use the template at all. Then in the middle of it all, you weighed with an idea and proceeded to change the structure of the template for a number of politicians. When I protested that this was outside of process for a live debate, you dismissed the objection saying that it was acceptable to make changes to provide illustrations of what the "to be" situation might look like. This is the same rationale for the additional mods that I mentioned above. Yet now I'm being scolded for making similar illustrations. Doesn't seem fair.

It took me a while to figure it out, because it's a very poor analogy.
@
Laurel Lodged is trying to draw a comparison between this discussion about categories, and an earlier discussion about the structure of succession boxes. For some reason, LL thought that deleting the header template would cause the removal of other templates. I showed a different way of using the templates which offered a resolution to LL's objections.
In this case, we were discussing a common situation of a country changing names. The hows of that are well known, were not an issue in the discussion about whether to do it. LL created about a dozen new pages (including new templates), which created a perverse situation of "Poland" being a subcat of "Congress Poland". --

To the analogy: in 1 case an admin makes substantial amendments to a succession box mid discussion as an illustration of a "to be" look and gets away with it; in this case an editor creates a new template as an illustration of a "to be" look and is admonished for it by the same admin. Doesn't seem fair.

You wanted those templates removed. If there had been a consensus to do so, my changes would all have been removed as part of that.
In this case you created a dozen new categories when you knew that there was no consensus to do so.
You have done the same again this morning, so I have deleted them all again.
This discussion needs a reboot, but a unilateral imposition of one contested solution is no way to resolve it. --
