Category:People by city or town

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: rename. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:13, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • 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]

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]

@Marcocapelle, Gidonb, Peterkingiron, Grutness, Gonnym, UnitedStatesian, and Fayenatic london: again, only those who are not banned and have not yet responded. Ping requires signature, so it didn't work the first time.
