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

deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
Nominator's rationale: No need for disambiguation given that the corresponding article is at
Prater. I guess this could be a speedy nomination but I also wonder whether the category is really needed. One of the articles (
Trabrennbahn Krieau) is about a horse racing track that's adjacent to but not part of Prater. So that really leaves two articles beyond the main one, a relatively small category.

No objection to the rename from me. While I wrote that the race track is adjacent to the Prater, it's often described as being part of it. It's a bit confusing because the Prater has shrunk over time due to development. The land occupied by the race track used to be part of the Prater. I would suggest not removing that article from the category. Re: size of the category, English Wikipedia is just missing articles for a lot of subjects. See the German category:

Support split as nominated. Note that this is a container of national subcategories, and that such containers are better organized along a consistent set of continental divides, arbitrary as it is. The only defining factor for the individuals involved is their nationality, region/continental is just a matter of category organization.

Nominator's rationale: Only one entry currently (I did remove one because it was an unsourced claim).
This user created the cat, but they're now blocked. They were also infamous for using categories to express political views. I think at present the category's not very useful; explicit anti-Korean sentiment in media in Japan is fairly rare in my experience, and I edit a lot on this topic. Also, the term "propaganda" I think should fall under

I support deletion of all these European expatriates in... categories. Expatriation is really a link between a departure country and a residence country, continents is not a useful notion for it. Also note that European is unfortunately often used as a proxy for race, which is not the topic; note for instance how there is no such category of European expatriates in a European country of residence. That's an non-useful incomplete set.
