Propose merging Category:Anthozoa of Ireland to Category:Anthozoa of Europe
Propose merging Category:Anthozoa of the United Kingdom to Category:Anthozoa of Europe

Nominator's rationale: It is better to categorize species (e.g. Eunicella verrucosa) by larger regions than countries. See Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2017_November_27#Category:Anthozoa_of_Algeria. DexDor^(talk) 19:39, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Propose splitting Category:Middle-earth regions to Category:UNKNOWN and Category:OTHER NEW CATEGORY

Nominator's rationale: It seems awkward to group regions of various types into one category, especially since everything else in Category:Fictional regions is placed into separate subcategories. If there is nothing that is not already in Category:Middle-earth forests, Category:Middle-earth realms, or an appropriate subcategory of Category:Fictional regions, or the new categories would be too small, then it can be deleted. 108.210.216.40 (talk) 14:33, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – there are 39 articles at the top level of Category:Fictional regions. This seems a perfectly reasonable intersection of Category:Fictional regions and Category:Middle-earth locations. Oculi (talk) 17:03, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. Given the scope of Tolkien's work, categories like this are useful. Yes, it's unique... for now, but I can imagine something similar developing for the Song of Fire and Ice realms, too, and it bears comparison with Category:The Chronicles of Narnia countries. Grutness...wha? 00:18, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Category:Middle-earth. Most of the contents here are redirects, not articles, so having this category is just not justified.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:34, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- There is likely to be enough content to split this fictional universe. Peterkingiron (talk) 11:53, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
