The result of the debate was rename to Category:City and town halls. -- RobertG ♬ talk 08:57, 20 October 2006 (UTC) reply
The inroduction to this category says it covers town halls, it includes the articles town hall and hotel de ville and at least 2 articles about individual town halls. As a few English towns have populations over 200,000 there may be more articles about individual town halls from England, and very likely from other countries. Looking at this from an architectural perspective there is little reason to have separate categories for city halls and town halls as they are both the same sort of building and the size a settlement needs to reach varies greatly from one country to another (eg almost every English town would be a city in America, whereas many American cities would be villages or even hamlets in England).

Rename to Category:Buildings and structures in the West Bank and Gaza and accordingly. This is again highly confusing , because it doesn't contain structures in Israel and possibly in Jordan etc. This is one of a few examples of this very problematic category Category:Palestine which just keeps popping with the controversial term "Palestine" to refer to a COUNTRY. This should be done on all categories of Palestine that wrongly refer to a country - there are 3 or 4 so. Amoruso 19:49, 12 October 2006 (UTC) reply

These two categories define fields that are virtually synonymous in general parlance. There is already considerable overlap, with more than 50% of those listed as "American crime fiction writers" (29 out of 53) also listed as "American mystery writers." In almost every case beyond those currently overlapping, it is hard to see why a given writer qualifying for one category wouldn't qualify for the other. Merging the categories under either title would go far toward creating a comprehensive, nonconfusing list of American writers in the field. As for which title would be used for a merged category, while at present the "American mystery writers" category is approximately three times as large as "American crime fiction writers," the latter is preferable on the bases of both consistency and logic: the primary article discussing the field is
crime fiction, which is also the broader term. —
