Category:Buses in the United Kingdom with an unknown photography date

[edit]

Pointless category - I get the logic to it however in short I don't see the need for the category - The dates to the images won't ever be found so in the end the category is only being used as a storage category which in the end will grow and grow and grow,
Ofcourse if anyone can find a valid reason as to why these should be kept I'd be more than happy to withdraw, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 01:15, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've tagged the parent category, Category:Buses photographed in unknown years by country because I'd think it should apply to all the parallel categories, unless there's something specifically pointless about the UK category. - Themightyquill (talk) 08:06, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ah thank you I had no idea there were more like these - Just assumed we had UK category only. Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 16:18, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pointless and useless. For me can be nuked soon. -- SERGIO (aka the Blackcat) 16:49, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Stale discussion. The phrase "unknown_photography_date" is unique in Commons database. I suggest to move the files into category:Buses in the United Kingdom photographed in unknown years, and after that this category to be deleted. Any objections, @Davey2010, Themightyquill, and Blackcat: ?--Estopedist1 (talk) 22:27, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Estopedist1: do we have categories by unkown date so far? -- Blackcat 23:00, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Blackcat: "by unknown date" = 0 category, but "unknown date" = 32 category (with redirects), see https://quarry.wmcloud.org/query/39851 --Estopedist1 (talk) 06:59, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Estopedist1: keep in mind that some are redirects, see i.e. Images of unknown date which redirects to Unidentified date. -- Blackcat 10:44, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Blackcat, So do you have any objections to the new category mentioned by Estopedist1?, If not I'll close and move all, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 12:34, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Davey2010: , I was wondering whether for @Estopedist1: were ok to use unidentified instead of unknown but basically his is a good idea. -- Blackcat 13:37, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Blackcat: At first, let's match with Category:Buses photographed in unknown years by country, which uses the word "unknown". With new CFD we can discuss "unknown" vs "unidentified" question--Estopedist1 (talk) 13:50, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Blackcat, My thoughts are the same as Estopedist1's - All subcats at Category:Buses photographed in unknown years by country go by unknown so really I can't see why we can't either - It would also look silly having the UK as "unidentified" whilst having the rest as "Unknown" .... it would stick out like a sore thumb imho, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 14:25, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Estopedist1 and Davey2010: for me it's ok. Once moved all, though , consider also the idea to propose all the "unknown date" stuff to me moved to "undetermined date" and so on. -- Blackcat 14:51, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks for your feedback User:Blackcat, I've moved these now - You're more than welcome to seek further consensus on the talkpage, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 15:22, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
