A photographer has written in to VRTS to claim that at least half a dozen of the pictures imported from this Flickr account are scans or crops of his works. He has included strong evidence of ownership and prior publication. See ticket 2023022610003535. Given this, it is unfortunately likely that the other photos in this category were also uploaded without permission. Emufarmers (talk) 19:08, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

The category is empty, and it's part of a splitting of Category:Incest into categories with one or two files in them, i.e. a granularity unjustified by the files we have on the subject. Prosfilaes (talk) 19:28, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

The current name is too vague, i was going to move it to "International Van of the Year" however that too is vague, I didn't know whether "International Van of the Year (Netherlands)" would be better ?, Not really sure what name should take its place so listing here for a second opinion, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 00:17, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
Rename Category:Van of the Year to Category:International Van of the Year @Davey2010: Your initial instinct was correct. There is no other "International Van of the Year" on Commons, so no need to disambiguate the name. Josh (talk) 20:08, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @Joshbaumgartner, Ah okay, Maybe I'm overreading it but to me I felt "International Van of the Year" was just as vague as "Van of the Year" as neither say a company or country, I don't know maybe I am overreading this, Many thanks, –Davey2010Talk 20:33, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
- Maybe, but I did not find anything else on Commons by this name. You are right to add the "International" though, since it appears to be the actual name now (maybe in the past it was just Van of the Year?). You are right the name is pretty generic sounding, but that's what they named it and unless someone else has an 'International Van of the Year' out there, I wouldn't worry about it. Josh (talk) 02:06, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @Joshbaumgartner, Ah okay fair point I hadn't thought of that (regarding last part of your comment), When you put it like that It now makes me think it's their problem not ours lol, - Anyway If no one else has commented by the end of the week then I'll close and rename, Thanks Josh for commenting and your help, Warm regards, –Davey2010Talk 11:37, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

Moved to Category:International Van of the Year. I've left the redirect undeleted as the cat was originally created in 2009 so as people may still be using it I therefore felt it was appropriate to leave it, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 12:54, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

Done: deleted as an empty category. --Rosenzweig τ 11:29, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
This category is both misleading in name, and redundant. The Barron Falls is not in the Daintree rainforest - they are two separate entities which both have their own categories on Wiki Commons. The Barron Falls is in the Barron Gorge National Park, the Daintree rainforest is in the Daintree National Park, some 70-odd kilometres to the northwest.
None of the images in this category are in, or of, the Daintree rainforest, but all are of the Barron Falls. This category should be deleted, and all the contained images placed in the category Barron Falls if they are not already included there. — Junglenut | talk 10:04, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Junglenut: Barron Falls. We need a category to support the enwiki article. The names of many files will have be renamed if this cat name is changed. Clearly some believe the cat name is useful. That cat was made years ago and I have not added to it, so do what is best. Krok6kola (talk) 13:36, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Krok6kola: Thanks for your response. The enwiki article already had a category dating back to 2009, i.e. Category:Barron Falls. The files do not have to be renamed, just their categories will be modified which is a simple task. — Junglenut | talk 22:16, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
- Looks to me like a mistakenly created category that should be upmerged to Category:Barron Falls. - Jmabel ! talk 16:55, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

This image is not freestyle and previously posted on Instagram. The person is only trying to promote himself, and his articles on the Arabic Wikipedia have already been removed because they violate policies. And there is also a conflict of interest, because they only promote themselves. The picture is wrong. Osama Eid (talk) 20:25, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

What is the difference between Category:Anticlines (petroleum traps) and Category:Petroleum traps? Can these two categories be merged OR can both have clear definition showing the differences? JopkeB (talk) 10:50, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
- There are different kinds of petroleum traps, the anticlinal trap being one of the them (see eg. w:Petroleum_trap). Hornstrandir1 (talk) 13:02, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks, Hornstrandir1, for your reaction. So Category:Anticlines (petroleum traps) should be a subcategory of Category:Petroleum traps? JopkeB (talk) 13:15, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

What is the difference between Category:Market stands and Category:Market stalls? Can these two categories be merged (keep Market stalls) OR can there be clear, distinctive definitions/descriptions? JopkeB (talk) 13:48, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
- To me a stall is a more purpose built, permanent structure the compared to stands, which are usually just temporary tents on polls or the like. Hence the name "stand." I think that's reflected in what is currently in the categories to. Like compare this image of a stall to this one of a stand. There's clearly a difference. --Adamant1 (talk) 17:33, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks, Adamant1, for your reaction. So the difference is the degree of temporariness. Can we have these descriptions:
- Market stand = temporary structure of an elongated covered table (covered for instance by a tent roof made of fabric/textile or parasol) that can easily be moved or set up, used by merchants to display and sell their merchandise in for instance a market or street
; it can be or a vehicle like a cart or truck. Though I would like to limit/reserve this term to/for only elongated covered tables and move the market vehicles to categories of their own. - Market stall = permanent structure used by merchants to display and house their merchandise in for instance a street, market hall or fair.
- For vehicles from which retail goods are sold, like food and drinks, see Category:Retail vehicles.
- Market stand = temporary structure of an elongated covered table (covered for instance by a tent roof made of fabric/textile or parasol) that can easily be moved or set up, used by merchants to display and sell their merchandise in for instance a market or street
- What do you think?
- (I just discovered that there is also a similar discussion going on about food stands, so I placed here a link.)
- Thanks, Adamant1, for your reaction. So the difference is the degree of temporariness. Can we have these descriptions:
-
Market stand, temporarily -
Market stand covered by a parasol and a tent roof -
Market stall, permanent
- --JopkeB (talk) 04:10, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
- That sounds fine to me. I guess there's Category:Retail vehicles for vehicles like carts or trucks. Although I'm not a fan of the name, but that's a separate issue. --Adamant1 (talk) 04:45, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks Adamnt1. So you agree to limit the definition of Market stands to elongated covered tables, and to move the market vehicles to categories of their own? JopkeB (talk) 07:38, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
- Yeah, I don't see any problem with that. --Adamant1 (talk) 15:18, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks again! I changed the descriptions according to our new insights. I'll wait another two weeks to give others a chance to give their opinions. Then I'll make the proposed changes:
- Add or change the descriptions in the categories involved, and also in the Wikidata items.
- Move subcategories and/or files according to the new descriptions.

Play itself is 1901. Parenthesized qualifier should be something like "(Forest Theater production, 1922)". Jmabel ! talk 17:12, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
- Right now there are two sub categories: Caesar and Cleopatra (1922 play) and Caesar and Cleopatra (film). Going forward, if we need to, we could rename the category from: Category:Caesar and Cleopatra (1922 play) to Category:Caesar and Cleopatra (Forest Theater production). In case there was more than one production of the play at this theater, we can say: Category:Caesar and Cleopatra (Forest Theater 1922 production). I am fine with either way. Greg Henderson (talk) 17:24, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
Moved as agreed. - Jmabel ! talk 00:56, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
No idea why "1919" as a disambiguation. Play is 1894; this is apparently a 1927 production, so instead of "(1919)" it should be something like "(Forest Theater production, 1927)". Jmabel ! talk 17:15, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

- @Greghenderson2006: I'm confused. The description on category the page currently says this was 1927. Is that incorrect? - Jmabel ! talk 21:03, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Greghenderson2006: it has been months, and you have not answered my last question. - Jmabel ! talk 00:52, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Jmabel: Sorry, I did not see this until now. I changed the description to 1919, which is when the play appeared at the Forest Theater. All the pictures in the category are from 1919. This is the reason for creating a Category:Arms and the Man (1919). Please let me know your thoughts? Greg Henderson (talk) 01:17, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
- Fine. We'll do this parallel to the other similar one I closed today (mention in the category name that it is specific to a Forest Theater production). - Jmabel ! talk 03:17, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

Needs renaming. Should be ruins, not ruines. Secretlondon (talk) 18:12, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
Support as not controversial or perhaps even move to Category:Great Yarmouth Grey Friary per Wikipedia as "Ruins" doesn't seem needed in the title anyway if the simpler name is available. Crouch, Swale (talk) 14:59, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Do we really need 1 category for the church as a former church its self and one for the church as a theatre. I propose merging this category to Category:St George's church, Great Yarmouth. Crouch, Swale (talk) 12:30, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Crouch, Swale: Thanks for raising this one. The content is essentially duplicated between them. We have no media of the building before 1979, when it was converted to a theater. Thus no reason to maintain 2 categories here, so I suggest the following:
Merge Category:St George's church, Great Yarmouth into Category:St. George's Theatre
- Per the theatre's official website the name is "St. George's Theatre" and all content is of this theatre. We have no other category by this name, so no need for disambiguation in the name. Josh (talk) 20:26, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
- Agree that makes sense as the current name of the building as a thretre would also incorporate it as a church just like when a topic is renamed the new name also incorporates its former name. Regarding disambiguation there seem to be several others like Bradford and Stalin Island so I'd consider keeping the qualifier. Crouch, Swale (talk) 10:48, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

Too specific a category; Sevens better organized by Series (1 through 4) mr.choppers (talk)-en- 04:23, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Mr.choppers: I have reverted the blanking and orphaning of this category that you did. You are welcome to add the images to the correct series but leave them in this category until the CfD is closed. Thanks! Josh (talk) 02:26, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
- No problem. Further clarifying why this category should be removed:
- Lotus did not use model years; the changes to the Seven in no way followed the years but were introduced as they became available (and when the old parts ran out...). Significant changes are classified by Lotus by the four different Series.
- Sevens at this time were sold mainly as kit cars; registration years usually reflect when the car was finished. Thus, a 1960 could well be registered as a '62, like NRN 7 which shows up as a 1971 but was built in 1969, or this 1963 which is registered as a '73.
- As they were kit cars, a lot of decisions were up to the builder, making the year a bit meaningless.
- But more importantly, Sevens tend to have been heavily modified over the years - for competition purposes or to just stay fresh, but the point remains: the year of manufacture is sort of irrelevant when most parts have been changed.
- Most "type of car and model year" category are for US cars, since they have clear distinctions between the model years. And we only have them for cars that have been photographed a lot, like Category:1969 Chevrolet Corvette or Category:1965 Ford Mustang. This category contains four photos, of which three are of modified cars (from rollbar, weird rear view mirror, and very big wheels on the Canadian photo to the one at Sonoma Raceway which no longer looks like a '62 Lotus at all).
- Thank you, best, mr.choppers (talk)-en- 02:35, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- No problem. Further clarifying why this category should be removed:

Not enough maps this year Jim.henderson (talk) 16:00, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep Seems there are enough. Josh (talk) 02:43, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
- Kill it and every other such similar "year maps of X" category. Consider what people are likely to be looking for, and how to make it easiest for them to find it. I suggest that overwhelmingly people interested in old maps of Montreal are looking for maps from a broad period, and essentially never just the maps from a particular year. IMO, the right way to deal with these categories is to coalesce them all back into Category:Old maps of Montreal and to sort that category by year. Then people can see in one place all the maps available from a particular period, without having to root through a million different sub-categories; and it makes it possible to see at a glance the historical sweep of how those maps evolved.
- IMO it only makes sense to start sub-dividing such a main category once it hits 300 maps or so; and even then IMO it makes more sense to prefer to divide by what the map depicts (eg sub-areas of Montreal), rather than by time. Jheald (talk) 09:30, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

- 300 maps is a much too big threshold (imho), mine is that at several dozen and at most 200 (when you need to flip pages). But yes, Delete for one-map categories. I regularly just move the maps to an appropriate larger parent (18th-c. maps of Montreal, here), and ask for speedy-deletes.

Proposed merger with Category:Sportshoes ReneeWrites (talk) 13:50, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
- Actually, they can both merge into Sneakers (footwear):
Merge Category:Sports shoes into Category:Sneakers (footwear)
Merge Category:Sportshoes into Category:Sneakers (footwear)
- Josh (talk) 04:47, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
- Not everything in these categories is a sneaker. For example, these shoes for rhythmic gymnastics and these that are also for gymnastics, not to mention that Category:Sportshoes has some files showing roller skates. I think the original merger suggestion could happen, with shoes that are sneakers moved to the sneakers category. -- Auntof6 (talk) 17:09, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
Oppose I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the opposite should occur for a couple of reasons 1. According to the infobox for Category:Sneakers (footwear) says sneakers are "footwear with a flexible rubber or synthetic sole and a fabric, cloth or leather upper", which can apply to essentially any shoe. Including ones used for sports. 2. The text book image for a sneaker and the one in the infobox is of a pair of Converse All Stars. Converses were created in 1917 to be early basketball shoes and have been used extensively throughout the years both in that sport and by skateboarders. So they are clearly "sports shoes."- Which begs the question, of what exactly makes something a sneaker, or at least a sneaker that isn't also a sports shoe. I'd say nothing, because "sneaker" is a meaningless slang term for sports shoes. I think that's proven by the fact that the first mainstream usage of it was by the Boston Journal in 1887 when they made reference to "sneakers" as the name boys gave to tennis shoes at the time. So, to reiterate my position, files that are currently in Category:Sneakers (footwear) should be merged into Category:Sportshoes and the category should be deleted since it's a meaningless duplicate of the later category. Or maybe you could create a redirect. Either way, there's zero point in Category:Sneakers (footwear) exiting. --Adamant1 (talk) 07:27, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

What is a "city in the Netherlands"? I would say: only populated places that are a subcategory of Category:Cities in the Netherlands. But at least some of the subcategories of this category have "cities" that are villages or even hamlets, like Category:Buildings in the Netherlands by city and Category:People of the Netherlands by city. I think we need a clear definition and then a review of the subcategories. JopkeB (talk) 02:06, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
- Or it could be renamed to "Categories of the Netherlands by populated place". Just a thought. -- Auntof6 (talk) 06:06, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose – There are numerous "by city" categories beyond the Netherlands and have villages and hamlets in the categories. We don't want to break the long-standing convention that is widespread in Commons. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 04:48, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
- So in Commons "city" can mean "village" and "hamlet" as well? I thought that the umbrella term in Commons is "populated places", like Auntof6 suggested. I prefer to keep "cities" for the real cities, places with a high number of inhabitants or which have city rights. JopkeB (talk) 05:17, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

redirect to "Old people". RZuo (talk) 17:01, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- I think both categories can be problematic. "Senior citizens" is probably a legal term that is defined differently in different places. (In one place I visited, the age for senior citizens was different for men than for women!) The term "old" can be relative or subjective, but I think that we had a specific definition for that and the other age ranges (although I can't find the definition right now). I support the redirect to "Old people". -- Auntof6 (talk) 01:30, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
