• Merge per nom. The number of stations is not so overwhelming, even for the Green Line, to require this level of subcategorization— every other major rapid transit system is subcategorized by jurisdiction and/or service, but not both (and a couple not at all.

• Do not upmerge The result of this upmerge will result in 95 articles on stations directly in Category:Railway stations in Boston, Massachusetts. When I saw this, I created the subcats by 'line' so that there would not be so many and so one could readily navigate stations by 'line'. I then extended the subcats out to the surrounding cities and counties. If there are this many stations in other cities with multiple 'lines', then such subcats should be created for them also. The point of categories is to help the reader easily find information, not to follow some undefinable 'trivial' rule. Hmains ( talk) 03:38, 27 October 2011 (UTC) reply
  • I don't think that 95 stations is too problematic. Notice, for example, that Category:Railway stations by city has other categories ehich are over 100. I would draw the line at 200, sincwe that is what would go on a single page. And we have a category scanning tool, which would allow users to find all this information even if the categories are merged as proposed. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 06:04, 27 October 2011 (UTC) reply

      • I see categories for lines which are contained within a single city; as well as categories of systems. You could possibly make a case that there should be a category for the Boston Subway system, even possibly a separate category for the Green Line (which is trollies); I did propose there being categories for stations by line (which have since been created). עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 05:35, 1 November 2011 (UTC) reply

Propose renaming Category:People murdered by Westies (criminal organization) to Category:People murdered by The Westies

• Comment. If renamed, I would say just rename to Category:People murdered by the Westies (without the capital T on the), since the main article is just Westies.

It is terrible what was done to this category due to the renaming form Sports festivals by country to Multi-sport events by country. A multi-sport event is clearly a subcategory of sports festivals, but never all sports festivals are multi-sport events, see for instance Category:Multi-sport events in the United States and Category:Sports festivals in Germany. And see also the interwikis - here is needed Sports festivals by country as correct name.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Florentyna ( talk • contribs) 13:17, 25 October 2011 (UTC) reply

    • Yes, renaming it back. And also all Multi-sport events in (country) categories back to Sports festivals in (country). Nevertheless the Multi-sport categories will be useful, too, as subcategory of Sports festivals by country. Means: First a bot supported substitution of all Multi-sport categories to Sports festivals must be done. The Multi-sport categories must not be deleted, they will be recreated as subcategories of Sports festivals. -- Florentyna ( talk) 20:35, 25 October 2011 (UTC) reply

• Keep and create Category:International sports competitions by country. This is a classic case of two arguments which do not conflict but are being presented as such. The term sports festivals is not clear (or certainly not clear enough for the blunt category structure). International sports competitions is analogous, significantly easier to understand, and matches the French mirror of fr:Catégorie:Événement sportif international par pays. A multi-sport events category can happy co-exist as a sub-category of this. In my opinion, the sole question remaining is: do we rename the sports festival categories to " International sports competitions" ones and create multi-event sub-cats, or vice versa?

    • Those articles need not go in the international category then, just the multi-sport event one. We can keep the two types as separate branches of Category:Sports competitions. SFB 17:23, 7 November 2011 (UTC) reply

Separate branches?. Are you saying hierarchy should be: Category:Sports competitions → 1) International sports competitions by country 2) Multi-sport events? — Bill william compton ^Talk 19:58, 10 November 2011 (UTC) reply

I would not do too much confusion in one step. Let's first recreate the former state of the art, then we need to sort in a proper way all the competitions into the correct branches (what will be already a lot of work). The "international" thing should be discussed later due to new confusions probably arising from that (what is a football match Spain-Netherlands?). At the moment the categories are really wrong.

The 21st century years in sport for Ireland are all Category:2005 in Irish sports (sports with an s) so these years should be the same as the series by year for Ireland may eventually fill up between 1924 and 2002. Note though that there are more countries using sport (singular) eg Category:2011 in Australian sport with only two using sports eg Category:2011 in American sports.
