Nominator's rationale: Vatican City did not exist until 1929. In 1865, it was considered the
Papal States which includes more than the singular location that is now the Vatican City.

Support on original nom also 1860s. The pope lost his sovereign state in 1870 and had not territory until the concordat of 1929. The question is what to do with the 1870-1929 categories. My suggestion is that we should make them
Category:1874 establishments by the Holy See, etc. The two I checked looked like periodicals, presumably produced for the papacy, but perhaps circulating throughout the Catholic Church. IN the period of nearly 60 years we seem to have just two articles. Perhaps they could all be merged into Category:Establishments by the Holy See, 1870-1929]]. This would be parented as an abberrant case of establsihments by country.

Very Strong oppose The article in question
British rule in Burma explains that from 1824-1885 British rule only covered part of Burma. There was British Burma and non-British Burma. These were distinct areas. The British did not rule all of Burma until 1885. Thus we need to distinguish the British zone, which is part of the British Empire, and the non-British zone.
John Pack Lambert (

The problem is the support categories ie. the parent categories such as
Category:1824 in Burma exist, but the parents for the British Burma don't exist
Category:1824 in British Burma after your move
[1]. You very strongly oppose but then don't undertake the additional work; you need to look at the thousands of red links at
Wikipedia:Database reports/Categories categorized in red-linked categories, a great many of which are red linked years caused by creation of establishment categories without the creation of the parents.

That response in no way addresses the fact that this renaming would create false information and incorrectly place articles in ways that do not reflect the historical reality at the time in question.

Support Burma was all British. There was no Japanese Burma (for example) to mean that an adjective was needed.
Peterkingiron (

This is not true for 1861. In 1861 a portion of Burma remained indepdent with no rule by the British.
John Pack Lambert (

Support per nom. Whether Burma was wholly or partially occupied by the British isn't even relevant.
Marcocapelle (

How is it possibly not relevant? There are two distinct polities that need distrinct categorization, Burma and British Burma. They are not the same and should not be treated as the same in categorization.
John Pack Lambert (

Denmark was occupied by the Germans from 1940 to 1945. Should we categorize establishments in Denmark during these years to "German Denmark" categories?
Marcocapelle (

You are still ignoring that there were two distinct Burmas. One was a British possession, the other was an independent country.
John Pack Lambert (

Just hypothetically, if only half of Denmark would have been occupied by the Germans, would it have made a difference for categorization?
Marcocapelle (

Strong Oppose - we need to avoid anachronism, and Burma implies that this area was a independent state, rather than a British colony, with a completely different status.
GreyShark (

I don't agree at all that Burma implies that it was an independent state. Even while it was occupied (wholly or partially) it was named Burma anyway.
Marcocapelle (

However there are two distrinct areas of Burma in say 1861, one is British Burma and the other is not.

@
Johnpacklambert: Imho you are mixing up two different concepts, namely "country" and "government". We are categorizing the establishments tree by country, not by government. While a country has one government in a normal situation, that may become a lot fuzzier in situations of war or civil war, like here in Burma. (Note that I deliberately write "in Burma", not "in the two Burmas".) Another example of the fact that we categorize by country, not by government: we have
Category:1653 establishments in England, not "1653 establishments in the Interregnum (England)".
Marcocapelle (

Support. I like the distinction being drawn by Marcocapelle between country and government. "Burma" is just the common name for a place; its use does not generally imply the status of the government one way or the other. (This is even less of an issue now that the article is at
Myanmar as opposed to
Burma.) I don't think there's enough content to divide stuff between two category schemes—one for things that happened in areas of Burma controlled by the British and the other for things that happened in areas of Burma not controlled by the British.
