Nominator's rationale:Rename. As currently titled, it does not match the parent and excludes village halls. This was included in a multipart rename request a while ago that resulted in no consensus to move any of the categories. So I'm bring this one back for a discussion on it's merits.

Surely a county government is local government (as opposed to national government), whatever the article might say?

do not rename This category name is proper for its content and thus serves the purpose of categories: navigation. The
Category:Local government buildings in the United States which I just created is the parent category and, of course, includes more than just city and town halls. By the way, the category structure makes clear the distinction between county government and local government as the distinction is maintained in the real world.

Nominator's rationale:Rename. Only contains a city hall. Dual named categories and not favored when the distinction between the two entities is clear. Renaming to the plural of 'Rathaus' is also an option.

Nominator's rationale:Merge. Tall is ambiguous so it is not an appropriate objective inclusion criteria for a category. If anyone wants to confirm that all of the articles have an appropriate London buildings and structures category that these buildings are also in, then Delete is an acceptable conclusion. There is already
List of tallest buildings and structures in London which provides adequate navigation.

Category:ÍA Akranes players
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a

Nominator's rationale: I think the "Akranes" part of the category name is unnecessary.
ÍA is short for Íþróttabandalag Akraness (note that "Akraness" is the adjectival form of "Akranes") so the place name is effectively being repeated. Category:ÍA players would be a good enough name, as then the category would match the parent article's name.

Nominator's rationale:Delete. Categorizing articles on the basis of what sort of explanatory text they use is beyond trivial. If I wanted to be cheeky I could suggest that the category entails original research since many of the articles do not explicitly contain reference either to Alice or Bob.

Heh, I just happened on that category and was looking for its purpose. I don't see that it is a useful classification for a reader, although it made me smile. It was hidden a while ago, but it's not used as a cleanup category. Without any apparent purpose, I agree that it should be deleted.
