  • Propose renaming
About 94 more categories
Nominator's rationale: Follows precedent of renaming similarly named categories. It's more consistent to use populated place to cover city, town, village, etc. –Aidan721 (talk) 15:52, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Aidan721: please link to those other discussions. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:02, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Why populated, surely that’s a redundancy for a start. I think city or town is a useful disambiguation Kingbird1 (talk) 18:20, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As put by The Grid in a prior linked discussion above: "We have the formal definition of a populated place from USGS: Cities, towns and other entities with human habitation are classified as populated places in the context of the BGN and GNIS." –Aidan721 (talk) 18:26, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Context is important here as it was pertaining to the United States. – The Grid (talk) 19:14, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • We use Populated place across all countries on WP. –Aidan721 (talk) 19:15, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Do we? The wiki article is called Human Settlement. TBH populated place sounds like an Americanism? If not why have the Human Settlement page renamed to Populated Place? Kingbird1 (talk) 13:57, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • 1 and 2 were European and Middle Eastern, where this discussion started 2 years ago.

  • Support — community consistency per previous discussions. (Pining for the days there were many eyes on categories.)
    William Allen Simpson (talk) 04:46, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - long overdue. Grutness...wha? 04:48, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support this taxonomically sound solution. gidonb (talk) 05:19, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Support. Seems the entire tree is going this way step by step so might as well make it consistent. Gonnym (talk) 09:12, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support though I'm not much of a fan of "populated place" (when I first hear it about 10 years ago I assumed it referred to suburbs) but it is consistent with other categories and the fact there are villages, hamlets and suburbs as opposed to just cities and towns. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:39, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per all above, per consistency, and I share Crouch, Swale's sentiment about "populated place" but it is what it is, and it doesn't exlude human settlements that are something other than a city or a town; good enough. —Alalch E. 22:27, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support but only merge to Category:Landlords. The article is already in another subcategory of Category:Icelandic people. A number of sibling categories may be nominated too. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:07, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Estopedist1: please bundle nominations for multiple countries together. It is very inefficient to discuss one country at a time. See my comments in your previous nominations. Also, please add all merge targets in the first line of your nomination. By including them in the rationale, as you do now, you just make it harder for anyone to close the discussion. Check how other editors do this. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:11, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Marcocapelle: thanks! I focus only on Baltoscandinavia countries (8 countries in total) when doing bunch merging/deleting. It would be very time-consuming to nominate e.g. 30 countries categories with 1 article Estopedist1 (talk) 08:33, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
