comment—this is an ENGVAR issue. In NZ English "accommodation" is a group noun for where people spend the night. "Accommodations" are what political parties negotiate with each other when deciding which bills to support through parliament. The phrase "tourist accommodations" to us sounds like something someone with English as a second language would say.

Further comment—The OED definition is: Accommodation 1. [mass noun] Brit.: a room, group of rooms, or building in which someone may live or stay: they were living in temporary accommodation. • (accommodations) chiefly N. Amer.: lodgings, sometimes also including board: the company offers a number of guest house accommodations in Oberammergau. So both words are correct somewhere in the world. My personal preference is to use "accommodation" as a mass noun, but it's not our personal preferences that count, rather it's "where will the majority of our users look for this information?" So, we need to be pragmatic and whichever is settled on, a redirect category needs to be set up from the other one.

Keep "Tourist accommodations" reads as implying different types of accommodation and excluding specific examples of accommodation. This appears to be the case. Accommodations is an accepted plural of the generic singular concept of accommodation, just like peoples is the plural of a singular people. --

So, whether the lone thing is a "tourist accomdation" or "tourist accommodations" the plural of multiple examples of the thing is accomadations, so everyone should be happy with this name.

Nominator's rationale:Delete. Ran into this one which I thought was going to be for museums about libraries. Instead it appears to be about buildings that are both a museum and a library. I'm not convinced that is a defining intersection. Another option is to split, but at the article level, these appear to mostly be categorized correctly. So a consensus to split is the safer option. However if split, cleanup will be needed since the articles are usually in subcategories. If this receives consensus, the subcategories will need a follow on nomination.

eliminate entire tree, merge to museum cats or to library cats Many museums have libraries; many libraries also function to some degree as museums (e.g. they have exhibits on books in their holdings). The pages in this category tree need to be categorized according to their primary function (e.g.
Library of Congress is a library,
Gutenberg Museum is a museum) and the extra categorizations eliminated.

Delte the few things that are actually both should be in both trees, but more often these are libraries that have displays, or museums that include a library.

Comment I do not understand the need to create rigid rules for categorization. The libraries in these categories have clearly defined exhibit areas and promote themselves as museum attractions. Exhibits usually come from their collections. Not all libraries feature such galleries so prominently. Using the category "library museums" delineates such libraries. Most are included in the community or state tourism listings as museums as well. Having the category helps visitors understand that they are viewing changing exhibits that could be about a variety of topics, compared to a specialized museum. I see no need to split the articles. Maybe a category definition should be added to the parent category.

No one is suggesting that the articles be split. If a facility is both a library and a museum then it should be in both category trees directly. Having this combined category adds an unnecessary level of navigation.
