    Oppose all "Courts of Foo" nominations. In direct oposition to the decision at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2016 June 20. Laurel Lodged (talk) 09:19, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

    @Rathfelder: commiserations for missing that. It would be helpful if you would rename at least some of the others to "Courts of". However, some should perhaps be "Courthouses in", including a split of the U.K. categories. – Fayenatic London 14:05, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

    We now seem to have an impasse. The decision says they should all be "Courts in Foo" but they aren't. I don't care which it is, but I think consistency helps. Where do we go from here? Rathfelder (talk) 14:23, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

    Agree with consistency but I would rather nominate the "in country" categories to be renamed into "of country". Marcocapelle (talk) 15:55, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

    In British usage lawyers talk both about courts "in" and courts "of".Rathfelder (talk) 17:16, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

    @Rathfelder: Which decision were you referring to, that they should all be "Courts in Foo"? Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2016 June 20#Category:Courts by country was for "Courts of Foo". However, a category for court buildings should be in Category:Courthouses instead, which uses the form "Courthouses in Foo". – Fayenatic London 20:07, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

    I was only interested in the courts categories. Rathfelder (talk) 20:09, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

    And that's fine. My point is that Category:Courts in the United Kingdom, and perhaps some others, currently contain articles on courthouses, which should be split to a separate Courthouses category. As for the rest, which are about courts (organisations), your help would be very welcome to speedily rename them to "Courts of Foo" per the decision above. – Fayenatic London 20:27, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

    Shouldn't this be at full discussion already? Laurel Lodged (talk) 11:30, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

    It could be speedy, just needs someone to tag the categories. – Fayenatic London 07:43, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

    I suppose User:Laurel Lodged's oppose still stands, and I was seconding the oppose, so it can't be speedy. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:12, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

    I don't see any point taking the above proposals to a full nomination; they should be left here to expire. I meant that someone could instead nominate the "Courts in" categories for speedy nomination to "Courts of". – Fayenatic London 11:44, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

@Rathfelder: I have nominated the messy UK categories at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2016 October 28. – Fayenatic London 17:01, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

Thank you.Rathfelder (talk) 17:30, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
