This would also apply to the sub-cats Category:AFI 100 Movies, Category:AFI 100 Laughs, Category:AFI 100 Thrills, Category:AFI 100 Passions and Category:AFI 100 Songs
This information is better suited to a list, and the films selected by the AFI are already listed in the articles AFI's 100 Years... 100 Movies and 100 Years Series. It is also excessive categorisation - Casablanca, just as a fairly random example, is currently classified in 10 categories (3 of them AFI Lists), and is eligible for more; Schindler's List is in 14.
More importantly, the AFI list is not an appropriate way to categorise films. Firstly, it's extremely US-centric. There are "Best film" lists produced by other national institutes and film organisations, including the BFI 100 Films list and others. There are also "best of" lists chosen by filmmakers and critics, including the respected Sight and Sound poll which has been running for more than 40 years. Wikepedia shouldn't give preferential treatment to one such set of lists.
These lists are also necessarily POV; they are based on the opinions of AFI members that these films are somehow "good" or "noteworthy"; and a subjective judgement of that kind isn't an appropriate way to classify a subject in an encyclopedia. JW 20:14, 26 July 2005 (UTC) reply

Unlike the entry below, this category does not contain list articles. It contains articles about wars in Canada, and the name is a misunderstanding of the distinction between lists and categories. The categorization should also be checked; it came to my attention because it included Lord Dunmore's War, which was not in Canada.

Yeah, it is not the category above which should be renamed, but several subcats in it. A "list of country-related topics" is, well, a list of topics by country. But a look at most subcats in it by the name of "Lists of Foo-related topics" actually contain articles which are "lists on a topic", and not "list of topics", and should be moved to the parent category, Category:Lists of country-related topics, which contains subcats named "Foo-related lists", the correct category name for such a usage. I would think all of the categories involved would require this renaming.-- Huaiwei 14:35, 26 July 2005 (UTC) reply

Unnecessary subcategorization of Category:Mountains of India. WikiProject Mountains does not divide mountains using a technical distinction between peak and mountain. There are differing opinions on what determines a mountain versus a peak so it's best not to divide mountains up using a possibly contentious distinction.
