The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Viceroyalty of Peru people. (non-admin closure) – LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄) 19:59, 19 December 2023 (UTC) reply

• Propose splitting Category:Immigrants to the Viceroyalty of Peru to Category:Immigrants to Peru and Category:Viceroyalty of Peru people

Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated category that's not helpful for navigation. Should be upmerged to Immigrants to Peru and Viceroyalty of Peru people Mason ( talk) 22:16, 11 December 2023 (UTC) reply

• The only article is about a woman who emigrated to Buenos Aires. Was that part of the Viceroyalty of Peru too? In any case, the target Category:Immigrants to Peru is not right. Marcocapelle ( talk) 08:09, 12 December 2023 (UTC) reply

• Further comment. Apparently Buenos Aires was part of the Viceroyalty of Peru at the time (until during the 18th century). I have added the article to Category:People from Buenos Aires. Marcocapelle ( talk) 04:23, 13 December 2023 (UTC) reply
