Propose renaming Category:Townships of Kaohsiung County to Category:Districts of Kaohsiung

Nominator's rationale: To reflect the mergers/creations of three new Republic of China (Taiwan) municipalities (Kaohsiung, Taichung, Tainan). (Xinbei-related categories are excluded from this discussion since the Taiwanese government is still discussing whether Xinbei should be rendered "New Taipei" in English, and I don't want to have to move categories twice if it turns out that "New Taipei" will be used.) Note that these category trees are not very densely populated, so some of the merger/renaming requests may seem initially counterintuitive but are due to the lack of "competing" categories that currently exist. --Nlu (talk) 20:59, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Related renaming/merging requests:
- Merging Category:Kaohsiung County to Category:Kaohsiung.
- Merging Category:Kaohsiung City to Category:Kaohsiung.
- Renaming Category:People from Kaohsiung City to Category:People from Kaohsiung.
- Renaming Category:Tainan City to Category:Tainan.
- Merging Category:Tainan County to Category:Tainan.
- Renaming Category:People from Tainan County to Category:People from Tainan.
- Merging Category:Taichung City to Category:Taichung.
- Merging Category:Taichung County to Category:Taichung.
- (note: Category:Magistrates of Tainan County is intentionally not nominated, since I believe the category should be retained separately for historical reasons.)

Comment how does this affect historical entities? Would any historical quantities be better categorized in the current categories? (aside from the magistrates category) 65.94.46.60 (talk) 06:35, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I am not sure I understand your question. Can you clarify? --Nlu (talk) 13:56, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Delete. Redundunt. I think it would be better to catgorize Category:Counties of Taiwan, Category:Provincial cities of Taiwan, and Municipalities of Taiwan under Political divisions of Taiwan. i Force= 07:54, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect the nominator means upmerge to Category:Political divisions of Taiwan and not the redirect article noted in the nomination Hmains (talk) 18:16, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Upmerge to Category:Political divisions of Taiwan. This seems an unnecessary level of categorisation. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:57, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
