- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkl talk 12:32, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: delete for now, there is only the main article and a redirect. No objection to recreate the category when more articles about this cabinet are published. I added the part in italic because I just purged two articles that weren't about the cabinet at all.

Hypo Real Estate. It was nationalised by the First Merkel cabinet, so I would still categorise it here. I can't remember what the other page was that you removed. Added two more.

- It is so much tangentially related that even direct links may be inappropriate. Take e.g. 33rd G8 summit, why would the text need to refer to the German cabinet? Marcocapelle ( talk) 04:06, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
- The point is that the first Merkel cabinet refers not only to the people in the cabinet, but also to the 2005-2009 administration more widely. The G8 summit was organised by that administration. Added some of the ministers. ⠀Trimton⠀ 00:37, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

Marcocapelle (
talk) 10:30, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
- Honestly I don't quite understand the logic here. Austrian military personnel is the top of a big tree (18 subcats), and it already has subcategories by war, by city, by century, cause of death, ranks. Why can't it have a subcategory by the origin of the soldiers? It's a concept documented in the sources of those articles, just like these other characteristics are. Removing the bad "expatriate" cross-categorization seems much easier than all this. -- Joy ( talk) 15:54, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

If a suitable subcategory does not exist for a book it should be created and the book placed in it, the category to be added here." Mason ( talk) 05:48, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

Category:Austrian military personnel as appropriate.
Marcocapelle (

- Honestly I don't quite understand the logic here. Austrian military personnel is the top of a big tree (18 subcats), and it already has subcategories by war, by city, by century, cause of death, ranks. Why can't it have a subcategory by the origin of the soldiers? It's a concept documented in the sources of those articles, just like these other characteristics are. Removing the bad "expatriate" cross-categorization seems much easier than all this. -- Joy ( talk) 15:54, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
- It needs to be manually merged anyway (see below) so then articles can also be moved to the tree of
Category:Austrian military personnel as appropriate.

- @
LaundryPizza03 This would not be historically correct for Croatians because "Austro-Hungarian" means 1867-1918, but for them the relevant time period starts multiple centuries prior, rather. --
