Keep per Twiceuponatime - it's still a "lost" submarine, compared to a "missing" submarine, and while it's not a very large category we have other similar categories split by country.

Oppose too broad of a brush - While I understand the rationale - something that is historic is a listed building - does Nigeria have a historic building listing? This also includes buildings which may not have been demolished, but no longer exist, like
Roman fort, Mušov in the Czech category, which clearly is not a current "building or structure".

Oppose If there is a problem with "historic" being too subjective a term (and I don't think there's much of a problem at all actually), we should explain in each category description what is intended. Also the proposed target categories are also (to a similar extent) subjective. National names and borders change; at what point in history do we select the name? What is included in a building or structure?
Nonbuilding structure suggests most bus stops are. Is that intended in our categorization scheme?

What is subjective about the target categories? E.g. bank buildings or gas stations seems completely unambiguous. They are certainly not subjective to the same extent since the "historic" part has been removed. Furthermore, if we should explain in each category description what is intended then what is intended by "historic"?

The articles for two of the Emirates of the
United Arab Emirates (UAE) have been moved to reflect the modern spellings of their names in English, as used by the government & municipality -
Ras Al Khaimah and
Umm Al Quwain. However, the categories associated with them are still Ras al-Khaimah and Umm al-Quwain. Can someone with rights/access please do a global search/replace? I started to try this on Ras Al Khaimah preparatory to moving the category page but the task is a tad too much manually... Best

@
Alexandermcnabb: Possibly this is something for
Wikipedia:Bot requests. This platform is just for renaming categories, not templates. The renaming here is done by an automated process and will be implemented by the administrator who closes the discussion, provided there is consensus for the rename and provided you listed and tagged the categories properly (like I have done for the two top categories).
