Makes me think of garden water features. I don't think it is likely that many people will seek this out in the main Cities but they might look for its subcategories like category:Coastal cities. I think it will be better to promote the subcategories. Merge Rhollenton 21:00, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Only two articles after over 7 months and they are in other categories as well. Better to classify by location and to use the much better filled Category:destroyed cities where appropriate. Also causes needless confusion with category:History by city. Rhollenton 20:56, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I have created some culture categories for European cities lately and I have just noticed that apart from London the British ones use the unnecessarily lengthy style "Arts and entertainment in..." It would be good to cancel this out. Some of the places are counties rather than cities, but I don't think this makes any difference:

It follows that if these are named the top category should also be renamed:

  • Keep Culture is a much wider subject.--TrackInspector 22:34, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename and add anything that is missing. Local categories shouldn't be too narrow or they will be very small. Honbicot 01:15, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Culture is far too vague a term. As numerous counties and cities already have the form "Arts and entertainment..." and only one has the form "Culture...", this suggests to me that "Arts and entertainment..." is more useful. Category:London culture is not an equivalent cat to the "Arts and entertainment..." cats as it also includes Category:Religion in London, Category:Sport in London etc. - thus demonstrating the wider meaning of the word "culture" . Valiantis 13:58, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename Look at the global perspective. The one exception is London which has more articles than all the others put together and it is consistent with New York and Paris. Consistency matters. Carina22 14:45, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment - If you're making a case on the basis of consistency, then surely the consistency of the UK cats is also of significance. In these, London is the inconsistent entry -the others all follow the same pattern. The consistency you refer to mainly exists as Rhollenton has recently created a number of cats for European cities in the form "Culture in Fooville". This is obviously a useful piece of work, but the naming policy is effectively a unilateral decision; prior to his actions there weren't enough cats of this type outside the UK to determine what was and was not consistent. BTW, Category:New York City culture (not one of Rholleton's creations) includes subcats on religion, cemeteries and hotels! If this doesn't demonstrate the near-meaningless vagueness of the term "Culture" as opposed to the relative precision of the term "Arts and entertainment" I'm not sure what does. Valiantis 14:31, 7 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • It isn't meaningless. It is one of the eight fundamental categories listed on the main page and there are culture categories for every country in the world except the very smallest. There are categories for Toronto, Berlin, Paris, Chicago, Hong Kong and Singapore all of which were created by different people, and probably others I haven't come across yet. And in the last day or two someone else has even created one for Turku. With London, New York and my efforts that means at least ten different users have started a culture category for a city. Where's the unilateralism in that? Rhollenton 14:45, 7 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        • The culture categories for countries are in the form "Fooish culture" - i.e. the nature of people and society in those countries - and include subcats on such topics as religion, cuisine, sport, language etc. which are not generally perceived as part of the arts. You are using the word culture as though it is synonymous with "the arts" and it isn't - and it also isn't used as such in those Culture by city categories such as New York and London that you didn't create (as I think I've demonstrated). By all means, create Category:Culture in Manchester etc. if you think this is useful. That is not, however, a justification for renaming more specific categories about "Arts and entertainment" which might reasonably be subcats of a "Culture" category (just as currently Category:Entertainment in London is a subcat of Category:London culture).Valiantis 21:36, 7 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
          • So add more articles if you want. You seem to have given up on your earlier contentions. Arts and entertainment is a clumsy portmanteau term that doesn't seem to be used anywhere else and therefore such-named categories don't fit anywhere else. Separate categories for theatre, music etc make much more sense. They can be created for cities if required and will fit into the overall structure of wikipedia. Category:Arts and entertainment doesn't exist and shouldn't exist so local arts and entertainment categories shouldn't exist either. Every other category that is used at city level also exists at a global level. Wikipedia should have a clear structure and these categories are just a mess.Rhollenton 03:13, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename all Long portmanteau names need a good justification and I can see none for these. Sumahoy 15:04, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename Smaller places should have broader categories rather than narrower ones or the number of tiny categories will grow out of control. Bhoeble 15:45, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename all. "Culture" is very clearly established as a standard category. "Arts and entertainment" never will be. CalJW 04:11, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I've found culture categories for Melbourne and Sydney, which have been around since April. The number of different users who are known to have created culture by city categories is now eleven. Rhollenton 04:48, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename all because it's shorter. Golfcam 17:44, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The exisitant category uses a defunct name of the National University of Ireland, Galway (NUI, Galway) viz University College Galway which has not been used officially since 1997. Use of a variation of the current name will improve the category and also give it a better place in Category:National University of Ireland, Galway. Djegan 15:52, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
