- Nominator's rationale: Is there something like an American-style garden? If there is, this category might be better named ‹The
template
Cat is being
considered for merging.›
Category:American gardens.
But then again, even if that style exists, there's no main article and no specific content at all, and one of the two subcategories, ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.› Category:American landscape and garden designers, is already contained in the other, ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.› Category:Gardens in the United States.

- Comment -- The question is really one of how to categorise the other subcategory - American landscape and garden designers, which also lacks a main article in a way that links it to a US gardens category. Peterkingiron ( talk) 11:22, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
- Agree that ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.› Category:American landscape and garden designers better fits in ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.› Category:Gardening in the United States. The nominated category is now a basically empty intermediate. -- PanchoS ( talk) 17:37, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
- Delete -- Now that the other sub-cat (did not really belong here) has been removed, this is redundant to to gardens in US and should thus be deleted. Peterkingiron ( talk) 16:33, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. I think somebody misunderstood the purpose of ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Types of garden by country of origin — "Japanese gardens" and "Dutch gardens" are types of gardens, which can exist in any country and are not limited to Japan or the Netherlands. But there's no comparable phenomenon of a "United States garden" as such, which means this is just an unnecessary duplication of ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Gardens in the United States. Bearcat ( talk) 17:51, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
- Delete category is misused apparently per Bearcat; I haven't heard of any garden being bodily moved across national borders, so presumably the "origin" of these gardens is the US (perhaps with exceptions of those gardens established under some non-US rule in territories subsequently annexed to the US). The "origin" of the style of the garden is another matter and I don't think that's what this was even attempting to assert. Carlossuarez46 ( talk) 18:38, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
