While this might be a legitimate category in its own right with different content, it is actually closer to the content found in the categories in category:Conservation by country so it should be merged into category:Conservation in Thailand. The national parks category is also in category:national parks by country, which is in category:Parks. The wildlife sanctuaries are not parks in the normal sense, and nor are the historical parks, which are mostly ancient buildings. Conservation is the best and standard place for them.

This is not a standard category. It was only in the Georgia (country) menu when I found it. The standard form would be "Georgian (country) organisations", but that awkward form is not used for any other categories, and it sounds like it has something to do with country and western music to me, so I suggest renaming it category:Organisations in Georgia (country) CalJW 19:30, 30 September 2005 (UTC) reply

I would think Category:Highways in Taiwan continuing as a subcat of Category:Highways in the Republic of China, and the later of which as a sub-cat of Category:Roads in the Republic of China is far more appropriate. -- Huaiwei 18:17, 2 October 2005 (UTC) reply

  It's posible. I only discovered this when creating Category:Mountain passes of New Zealand, and there are enough unsorted ones simply in Category:Mountain passes for several others - and probably quite a few uncategorised articles or articles which should be written.

• Objection to form of proposal There is no such naming convention. The word "images" does not appear on the page linked. It is an unresolved matter on its talk page. There is no general rule that the "of" form should be used except for natural features. Images are not natural features. Thus we are being asked to create policy, not to implement it. CalJW 08:18, 30 September 2005 (UTC) reply
  • Yes, there is no existing convention listed at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (categories) for the subcats of Category:Images by country. The request is to create such a convention (not change any policy) and the proposed convention admittedly differs from the existing de facto standard. CFD is the place to institute and change these conventions, as described on the naming conventions page. -- Rick Block ( talk) 14:01, 30 September 2005 (UTC) reply
• Oppose all. To quote my comments on the talk page:
  • The problem is that 48 out of 49 national categories are in "X images" format, while the subcategories of category:Images of places are in "Images of X" format. But apart from the categories for U.S. states "Images of places" is almost empty. Thus we have two different standards and Category:Images of United States is the intersection point. I favour "Images X" because not all the images in these categories show the whole of the place named. To me, "Images of the United States" only completely appropriate for satellite photos. An image of say a Harley Davidson is an image "from" or "taken in" the United States. Thus it's easiest to stick to "United States images" to cover all types of images, and all the continental and US state categories should be amended to reflect the convention used for countries.

  • CalJW 08:18, 30 September 2005 (UTC) reply
  • What are these "49 national categories" to which you refer? 49 is not the number of categories being discussed, and 20 of the "X images" categories are empty and thus do not indicate any consensus. Also notice how many of these categories are near the start of the alphabet; they indicate a single user's project rather than a consensus. ( SEWilco 16:00, 30 September 2005 (UTC)) reply
    • How about "X-related images"? That would matches the form used for two other national "content type" categories, category:lists by country and the by country categories in Category:Stub categories. The subcategories of Category:Maps use the "X maps" form. The current proposal is a departure from a de facto standard, rather than being in compliance with a policy as claimed.

This is simply an out of date copy of the article list of Armenians. It was used as an article rather than as a category. It looks like an error. Delete CalJW 05:16, 30 September 2005 (UTC) reply

• Category:Sophia Loren films → Category:Films starring Sophia Loren
• Category:Muppet films → Films starring the Muppets
• Category:Elvis Presley films → Category:Films starring Elvis Presley
• Category:Peter Sellers films → Category:Films starring Peter Sellers
• Category:James Stewart films → Category:Films starring James Stewart

Will make Category:Films by star consistent internally and parallel Category:Films by director in terms of naming regimen, also eliminates the "Clint Eastwood films" ambiguity problem identified earlier. - The Tom 04:34, 30 September 2005 (UTC) reply

The delete all argument seems convincing, again with the "except Muppets" proviso. - The Tom

• Don't bother renaming. There are only a few at the moment, but its a bad precedent. If we allow "Films by Star", it could expand to a massive number of unnecessary categories: almost every leading actor could have their own category. Just for example, how many categories would The Longest Day be in, or A Bridge Too Far? Delete all of them except Category:Muppet films which can be a sub-cat of Category:Film series.

• Delete all (Except Muppet) - As per JW. We deleted a single category like this a week or so ago. TexasAndroid 13:31, 30 September 2005 (UTC) reply
• Delete all per JW, TexasAndroid (sparing the Muppets). This could easily slide into POV as well, not to mention the cateogry-bloat. siafu 13:55, 1 October 2005 (UTC) reply
