Category:Organizations of the Americas

[edit]

I would suggest this category should be for pan-american organizations, serving all or most of the americas, but not subdivided by continent. Themightyquill (talk) 12:16, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with that. I think any "Americas" category should be that way. --Auntof6 (talk) 15:20, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. ––Apalsola t • c 10:19, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Done. - Themightyquill (talk) 10:03, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Christianity in the Americas

[edit]

Unnecessary and unhelpful categorization by supercontinent. Themightyquill (talk) 12:04, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. --Auntof6 (talk) 15:34, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Copyright rules in the Americas

[edit]

Unnecessary and unhelpful categorization by supercontinent Themightyquill (talk) 12:05, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The same applies to Category:Copyright law in the Americas - Themightyquill (talk) 12:06, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with both. --Auntof6 (talk) 15:35, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Neighborhoods in the Americas

[edit]

Unnecessary and unhelpful categorization by supercontinent Themightyquill (talk) 11:59, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The same goes for Category:Towns in the Americas, Category:Villages in the Americas and Category:Cities in the Americas. - Themightyquill (talk) 12:03, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with all. --Auntof6 (talk) 15:33, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:History of the Americas by century

[edit]

This request is a continuation of work to reduce the number of categories for the Americas. (See Commons:Categories for discussion/2019/01/Category:Establishments in the Americas by year for previous effort.) Above I have linked two existing open discussions for categories that I would have included here. Please comment on those discussions as well.

The categories nominated here mostly contain only subcategories for North America and South America (example: Category:1863 in the Americas). The only other thing in any of them is subcategories that contain only the North/South subcategories (example: Category:History of the Americas by century). For each category nominated, I don't believe there is a need to have a category for the Americas as a whole.

List of categories included in this request:

I agree. We do not need additional categorisation level between "Category:<TOPIC> by continent" and "Category:<TOPIC> in/of <CONTINENT>". ––Apalsola t • c 14:57, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I also agree that categorization by supercontinent is not helpful. - Themightyquill (talk) 09:54, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, eliminating this extra level is consistent with several earlier discussions. Josh (talk) 21:13, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed just too much Robby (talk) 21:14, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like consensus to me, Auntof6. - Themightyquill (talk) 14:12, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 02:05, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:LGBT in the Americas

[edit]

I propose deleting this category. The only contents are three categories for LGBT in specific parts of the Americas. As far as I know, there is are no LGBT issues that are specific to the Americas as a whole; if there are any such, then they are not represented in this category. Auntof6 (talk) 09:18, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. We should be avoiding "in the Americas" categories unless they are somehow directly relevant to the supercontinent. - Themightyquill (talk) 13:57, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Revolutions in the Americas

[edit]

Unnecessary and unhelpful categorization by supercontinent Themightyquill (talk) 12:05, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Same for Category:Demonstrations and protests in the Americas and Category:Elections in the Americas. - Themightyquill (talk) 12:23, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with most, but Category:Demonstrations and protests in the Americas has subcats for Latin America and the Caribbean, not just North and South America: how to handle those? --Auntof6 (talk) 15:26, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The same thing we do with every other category of "in Latin America" and "in the Caribbean". In this case, they are already in Category:Demonstrations and protests by region so it's also COM:OVERCAT. - Themightyquill (talk) 08:31, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Moreover, I'm not sure Category:Demonstrations and protests in Latin America needs to exist at all, since it also just subcategorizes by countries, rather than describing Latin-America-wide demonstrations or protests. - Themightyquill (talk) 08:34, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
OK, that makes sense. --Auntof6 (talk) 01:59, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Counties in the Americas

[edit]

This category isn't needed. It groups counties by the region of "the Americas": that is essentially an entire hemisphere, and it isn't meaningful to group counties by such a large area. The only thing in this category is Category:Counties in North America. Even if there were more in the category, grouping by continent is a big enough scope. Auntof6 (talk) 10:03, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, unless we want to create Category:Counties of Eurasia too. =) - Themightyquill (talk) 11:02, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
