Nominator's rationale: I can see no reasonable reason for separating songwriting teams by the number of members. Is the number of members in a team significant? Not for songwriting.

Nominator's rationale: This tracking category was for tracking when {{Infobox music genre}} was using |bgcolor= incorrectly, however this parameter has been removed after a
discussion was closed regarding this parameter. Therefore this tracking category is no longer useful and should be deleted.

No, subcategories like
Category:Comedy-drama films use the hyphenated compound-modifier form, as they should. A week ago I went through all articles and adjusted the hyphens or lacks thereof to be grammatical and in agreement with
MOS:HYPHEN; the only reaction I got, besides a couple of thanks, was where I accidentally changed a couple of category names to redlinks, like this one and
Category:Channel 4 comedy-dramas -->
Category:Channel 4 comedy dramas, which I've also listed. I can't find any more like that that I need to list here.

The result of the discussion was:merge all to the "Fooian people" parent. I have checked that each of the nominated categories still only contains one sub-cat, mostly "by century". –
FayenaticLondon09:02, 9 July 2022 (UTC)reply
Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary intermediate categories. The only content of each is Fooish people by century, and they are all in the appropriate Fooish people categories.

Merge -- This is an unnecessary level, since the only content is a by century category. There might be scope in some cases for this, where the tree brnaches. For example in British history we may have Tudor people as well as 16th-century people.

Exactly. Its not needed for all countries. And indeed some of the periods noted in some countries - like Fooish people of the First World War - can be contained within a century.

Keep all. The opinions above disregard the existence of
Category:People by millennium, applied by country here:
Category:Egyptian people by millennium and also for the continent of Europe. All above and beyond can be organized by millennium and even if they aren't, purely looking at the current situation, Fooyan people by period are necessary to bridge across different systems.

Comment -- I can be useful to know what former administrative entity a place was in. While the places are current populated places, they also existed in 1950s to 1980s when these are current. At worst Listify.

Delete. I don't think we even need to listify them as the articles for those former divisions includes their current populated places. I assume (but am not certain) the current populated places may include their former areas so a formal list may not be needed. --

Delete as belonging to a former administrative division is not a defining characteristic of cities and towns.

Wholly agree. All the information can be found elsewhere, and Italy does not have the same categorisation of village as other countries do. These categories are effectively pointless.

Category:Cities and towns in Liguria was established in 2004. I suspect there was merely an intention to abolish most city/town/village categories but not an implementation. Having said that, city/town/village categories are more unhelpful in Italy than in other countries because an alternative scheme with municipalities and frazioni has been elaborated in much more detail.
