This category currently exists as a redirect to Category:1795 in Great Britain, because the "United Kingdom" as a political entity did not exist until 1800. Its only content is one subcategory, Category:1795 works in the United Kingdom. The "works" category transcludes {{WorksUKCat}}, which in turn contains an "#ifexist" template that automatically inserts the page into the "[Year] in United Kingdom" category if it exists. Therefore, if the category is deleted, the "works" subcategory will no longer incorrectly be categorized here. R'n'B (talk) 14:49, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Numerous categories for the United States are dated prior to 1776; see Category:United States by year. — WFinch (talk) 22:10, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That wasn't really my point, WFinch. My point was that the only content in this category at the time I made this proposal was a subcategory that would be automatically recategorized by a template if this redirect were deleted. That category has since ceased to populate this one. Accordingly, my request is now moot. --R'n'B (talk) 20:17, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
