Delete, in general we may sometimes keep categories like these as "history of" categories but I do not expect for these two particular categories that they can sufficiently be populated with articles about the former administrative regions' histories.

Keep.
The_Weeping_Beech is one of two living landmarks in NYC. The other is
Magnolia grandiflora (Brooklyn) Both list the category and are active articles. Kingsland homestead and John Bowne house are both on the national registry of historic places. There are others around the country, their articles just are not written yet. Some, like Africa's transcontinental
Great Green Wall and the circular grove in China or the grove of aspen trees
Pando_(tree) and
Methuselah out west should be added but do not have recognized landmark status, more research is needed before deleting or merging the category.

'Keep' for consideration, the great barrier reef is a living landmark and should be added. What exactly is non-defining about a line of green trees that can be seen from space?

Link Thanks for adding that link. I just realize that somehow the
New York Landmarks Conservancy has something to do with a WP:Category so it needs to be deleted. Not. Their annual gala and any promotion for is not the source for Category:Living Landmarks. It is a definition, for a subset of unique organisms that exist or did and were notable for the time they existed. Equating the two is wrong, the
great barrier reef consists of living coral that is not used in the construction of any buildings that the NY conservancy wants to honor at it's annual people that mattered gala. And, the category was not created to promote that party. There are others (living organisms) that don't have a wiki written about them as they have no notability, but the future is not written yet. Dump the Great Green Wall, a 15 kilometer line of trees stretching across Africa from Senegal to Djibouti 'cause it's not landmarked by the NRHP.

Delete as
WP:SMALLCAT. The category page includes the definition "Living flora that have landmark status";
The Weeping Beech formerly met those criteria, although it died in 1998, so perhaps the definition ought to have been "Flora that had landmark status while living". That only makes two; the Wall, while visible from space, does not "have landmark status". The phrase "Living Landmark" appears to be
WP:OR, not used in reliable sources, e.g.
NY PostThe commission has previously only designated two trees as landmarks,
NY TimesIn 1966, it became the first New York tree to be designated a historic landmark. The term "Living Landmarks" is used more for people: the New York Landmarks Conservancy has so far honoured over 150 people as Living Landmarks.
[1] Perhaps the category could be renamed as
Landmark trees in the United States. If not renamed, the category should be deleted rather than merged, as the Weeping Beech and
Magnolia grandiflora (Brooklyn) are already in other specific sub-categories of
Category:Landmarks in New York (state). The could be linked under "See also". –

Oppose for the same reason as DexDor. I don't see how being a different type of LGBT has any effect on most types of scientific research.

Lesbian literature. It's just science.

People may adopt a new name when they're married too, should we have Category:Married scientists? And you're going to have to provide some evidence for the claim for "Being a trans and being a LGB have different effects on most types of scientific research." Are there gay paleontology journals? Do trans people use microscopes differently than non-binary, cisgendered, or asexuals? We normally categorize only by
defining traits, not just any trait.

Nominator's rationale: merge/delete per
WP:SMALLCAT, the Roman Catholic churches categories contain only 1 or 2 articles, while the parent Churches categories do not contain any article at all, apart from the Roman Catholic subcat. So this is a double merge nomination, for the Churches and the Roman Catholic churches simultaneously.
