Comment: Marcocapelle, I applaud your thoroughness in building this nomination. The history of
Carniola goes back into the first millennium, but I can't see any scope to categorise any articles with a specific date of establishment before 1000, so I have no objection. I've given
Establishments in Carniola a trimmed version of the template from
20th-century establishments in Carniola. There will be plenty more scope to provide specific navigation templates of that kind if this is approved. The main loss to the encyclopedia will be that
Category:2nd-millennium establishments by country will no longer have a full breakdown by country, although navigation via its century sub-cats will not be affected. –

The job you have done here, with renaming proposed where possible, is even better than I had first realised. I've now added templates on the few others noted as "already exists" in your nomination. –

Comment: The reason that these categories were created is that the "Millennia" categories appear as redlinks on century categories when using standard templates. There are two options for getting rid of the redlinks when these categories are deleted: (1) expand the century templates (using "
subst:") and then trim the result; or (2) edit the century templates, so that millennia categories only appear if they exist. Until now I have been adopting the first approach, but if we are getting rid of so many millennia categories then it will be better to change the
templates. The latter also means that new century categories using the templates will not prompt people to (re-)create millennia categories.
Support as the loon who probably created half of these is not more. I agree that we should just add a parameter in the century template that ignores the millennium option as the hard-coded text on its own is quite difficult to parse. --

Nominator's rationale: For some reason, this category was renamed to Theatres instead of Theaters (which is now a soft redirect) even though it is a British spelling and Los Angeles and Hollywood are in the US.

Comment There are additional theatre categories around Los Angeles but it's New Year's Eve and I'm done editing. I'll add them tomorrow or someone else can add them. Thanks!
