Category talk:National Museum of Ireland, Merrion Street
Move either to Category:Natural History Museum (Ireland) (as per English wikipedia article) or Category:National Museum of Ireland - Natural History if we really need to mention that it's a branch of the National Museum of Ireland. Themightyquill (talk) 19:16, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
- This cannot be considered in isolation from the two other categories within Category:National Museum of Ireland. It is clearly a branch of that institution which should remain to be clear and allow files of each to be clearly delineated. Propose no change. Ardfern (talk) 21:11, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
- Agree, the category is necessary to keep branches/buildings of the National Museum of Ireland distinct; many museums operate over several sites, often miles apart. Rodhullandemu (talk) 22:12, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
- Just so we're clear, the building itself has the words "Natural History Museum" written above its entrance. I think it makes sense to have the words "Natural History" in the name of the category somehow. - Themightyquill (talk) 22:24, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
- A redirect would solve that problem. Rodhullandemu (talk) 23:31, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
- Could you clarify what you mean, and how it would solve the problem? - Themightyquill (talk) 09:13, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Stale discussion. @Themightyquill, Ardfern, and Rodhullandemu: Almost always is rational to use the name used in enwiki, hence we use the category name category:National Museum of Ireland – Natural History. However, if we use enwiki name, we have problem with categories of the institution and the main building; enwiki has put them together--Estopedist1 (talk) 09:28, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
- For once Wikipedia has the right name for its article. Tha's not always the case, and I don't advocate following en:WP slavishly. Our default position on Commons is (or should be) to use the name the organisation itself uses. Unfortunately, the Wiki articles have a bunch of dead links, but it's clear from this link that the proper name of the article, and category, should be Category:National Museum of Ireland - Natural History. Other bracnhes of the museum, mutatis mutandis. Since this is stalled, I propose to do this after a couple of days unless others object. Rodhullandemu (talk) 10:57, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
- @Rodhullandemu and Auntof6: Am I correct that his hyphen-minus in your red category link was a typo? Per enwiki, correct is endash--Estopedist1 (talk) 19:51, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
- Sorry, there is no endash on my keyboard. Whatever it should be. Rodhullandemu (talk) 19:53, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
- I may be completely missing it, but I don't see where I commented on this CFD. -- Auntof6 (talk) 07:37, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

Closed Kept, refers to specific branch of museum, used, in apparently proper category tree, no consensus to make a particular change. -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 15:51, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
