Is it worth having both Category:Street food vendors and Category:Street food as separate categories? And Category:Street food vendors by country (and all its subcategories) as separate from Category:Street food by country (and all its subcategories) ? I recognize that there is a difference between a food and the person selling it, but the overlap here is going to be rather extreme, and the benefit minimal.

- keep: Category:Street food should be used exclusively for files where the food is the dominant element and clearly identifiable; the Street food vendors category focusses on the specific activity of those vendors and contains files where the food is only one of many elements, not necessarily identifiable and even not necessarily shown. --Bohème (talk) 13:20, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
- I was wondering about that myself, Bohème. It could work, but we should make it clear in the description. Should the vendors be the parent category and the food the child, or vice-versa? - Themightyquill (talk) 19:07, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
- I agree with Bohème and I'd suggest that the categories don't actually belong in the same hierarchy because one represents a type of food and one represents a type of employment, but they should probably be linked with a {{See also}}. BMacZero (talk) 05:46, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
- Is there such a thing as strong lack of opinion? Because that's my reaction. - Jmabel ! talk 15:40, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
- keep: I agree with Bohème: keep both categories and make a clear distinction. And for what would be the parent and what the subcategory: like Category:Vegetables is a parent of Category:Greengrocers and Category:Snack food is a parent of Category:Snack bars (I guess because both type of foods can be sold by several types of retailing) I suggest the Category:Street food would be the parent of the Category:Street food vendors (as it is now).

Stale discussion. No consensus to merge. The result was keep both Category:Street food vendors and Category:Street food Estopedist1 (talk) 14:07, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
