Kept as a disambiguation
[edit]This discussion of one or several categories is now closed. Please do not make any edits to this archive.
I have no idea what this category is intended to represent, and it has no parent categories. Jmabel ! talk 00:27, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
- If kept it should probably be disambiguated as there is Category:Machy (Aube), Category:Machy (Somme) and Category:Machy (Skorušinské vrchy). This one appears to be in Turkey. Crouch, Swale (talk) 15:03, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
- @Crouch, Swale: thanks, I hadn't even considered it was a place name! - Jmabel ! talk 17:54, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
- @Jmabel: That was based on the single image File:Greek Strawberry Tree - Sandal Ağacı - Arbutus andrachne 03.JPG in the category. It says its in Erdemli. Note that neither Tr not En mentions this on a DAB, Tr doesn't have anything here and the En DAB doesn't mention it neither does GeoNames. Crouch, Swale (talk) 07:13, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
- @Crouch, Swale: so do you see any reason to keep this category? Person who created it has not spoken up to explain it, and if someone who know what they are doing wants to re-create it later with some meaningful parent category, fine. - Jmabel ! talk 22:54, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
- @Jmabel: It could be put in Category:Erdemli but I can't find anything much about it online. Possibly it has a local name in Turkish but the user who uploaded the image hasn't been active since 2021 and the image description doesn't mention "Machy". If we can't verity what "Machy" is and where exactly this is then I'd argue per Commons:Category inclusion criteria that it should be deleted and then a DAB page can be created. Crouch, Swale (talk) 11:28, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
- @Crouch, Swale: again, just because there are places with this name somewhere in the world, why do you presume that in this case it was intended as a place name? I'm still inclined to remove that one image from the category. If you think this category makes a useful disambiguation to the places you've named above, that's fine with me. - Jmabel ! talk 15:26, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
- @Jmabel: On closer inspection the category was moved to Category:Machy (Skorušinské vrchy) by User:Pe3kZA last year (even though the file was uploaded in 2014) and a new one created afterwards with this file still in it. I guess it could just be a mistake but I'd be interested what they say about it. I'd agree without any evidence there is a place called "Machy" in Turkey I'd say indeed just remove the category and turn it into a DAB. Crouch, Swale (talk) 14:36, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

Per discussion above, turn into a disambiguation.
For the record, the one image that was in the category was File:Greek Strawberry Tree - Sandal Ağacı - Arbutus andrachne 03.JPG. If anyone can work out the intended relevance, feel free to follow up on that file.
