Keep per the above, I'm leaning towards keeping these and deleting Category:Medieval Transylvania. Everything in it is already subcatted. - jc37 08:25, 25 October 2015 (UTC)- A separate tree by region is not necessary because Romania has only three major historical regions (Moldavia, Wallachia and Transylvania) and Hungary doesn't have any historical regions of major importance. In Romania it seems difficult to build a consistent tree because locality and ethnicity are confounding:
Category:People from Moldavia and
Category:People from Wallachia are both in
Category:Romanian people as "locality equals ethnicity" categories, but
Category:People from Transylvania is not in there, instead
Category:Transylvanian Romanians is parented to
Category:Romanian people while it is not even parented to
Category:People from Transylvania! Nevertheless it should be relatively easy to build categories for medieval people of Hungary, Moldavia, Wallachia and Transylvania, if only because they had their own medieval rulers. Besides "medieval" is highly discriminating in these countries as Middle Ages ended with the occupation by the Ottoman Empire.

- Ok, I created
Category:People by region in Romania, and added all 3 as subcats. I think
Category:Transylvanian Romanians needs to be re-assessed as to how and where it is subcatted (as you said, ethnicity? locality?). As for the nom, because Transylvania has been part of different countries/kingdoms, I'm not sure the nommed plan is the way to go.
I am loathe to start a "medieval people" tree of cats.And I am also not thrilled with "dumping" the two nommed cats into the medieval one. All of these things come together pointing out that this region is one of those "special cases". - jc37 19:42, 25 October 2015 (UTC)-
Category:Medieval people - It looks like it already exists. Sigh. Ok, so after going over this, and also in relation to the several other cats nominated, I think medieval people (and maybe medieval events) should in general be split between early, high, and late middle ages. This will help navigation for readers (and spare them the headache I got in trying to sift through this all), and may help solve the problems of the Norwegian and Scotland cats too. Then have a medieval location cat as parent. So in this case, renaming to:
Category:Transylvanian people of the High Middle Ages, and
Category:Transylvanian people of the Late Middle Ages, respectively. And merge the non-people pages to
Category:Medieval Transylvania. Then we can take a look at a few group noms and/or just general cleanup for everything under

- Hey you're moving very fast now :-) I would consider if there is a vast amount of medieval people in a country that they should be split by century (as already happens a lot!) so there's no split needed in early high and late middle ages, while if the amount of medieval people in a country is pretty small (as e.g. in Transylvania) then I would just leave them at medieval without further diffusion in early high and late middle ages. In both these cases the distinction of early high and late is not too meaningful. Marcocapelle ( talk) 21:40, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

- Side note, Early Modern is a longer period than Late Medieval while it contains a lot more articles per century, so enforcing a Late Medieval distinction everywhere would lead to a pretty skewed distribution of category sizes.
