Sugar refineries are not sugar factories
[edit]The definition of a sugar refinery is simple. Raw sugar from either sugar cane or sugar beet goes in and white sugar comes out of the facility. Therefore, sugar refineries are not sugar factories, and this category should not redirect to the Sugar factories category.
In a sense the reverse, i.e.: "Sugar factories are not sugar refineries" is nowadays false with regard to the process. Nowadays almost all Beet sugar factories and many en:Sugarcane mills also refine the raw sugar they produce. However, this does not make that they are designated as sugar refineries. For this, the capacity to process sugar beet or cane is essential, if it has that capacity it is called a sugar mill or factory. I placed a referenced definition of mill, refinery and factory on: en:Beet sugar factory.Grieg2 (talk) 04:47, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Move to Category:Sugar mills (machinery) (or Category:Sugarcane mills (machinery)) to make a clear distinction from Category:Sugar factories as per en:Sugarcane mill Themightyquill (talk) 11:42, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
Stale discussion. @Themightyquill, DarwIn, and Ruff tuff cream puff: The nominated category is transformed into the DAB. Sidenotice: it is possible to rename Category:Sugar factories (currently a redirect) into Category:Sugar refineries per enwiki--Estopedist1 (talk) 21:08, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
Propose to close this discussion @Themightyquill, DarwIn, Ruff tuff cream puff, and Estopedist1: I want to close this discussion. It started with an idea to add or move to Category:Sugarcane mills (machinery) in order to make a distinction between sugar mills and sugar factories. Then there was an option to distinguish between sugar cane processing and sugar beet processing. Finally Darwin correctly noted that a factory is not the same as a refinery. However, the result is that this stale discussion blocks actions to correct the categorization.Grieg2 (talk) 05:44, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
Consensus that a sugar factory is not a refinery. Closing the discussion.@Themightyquill, DarwIn, Ruff tuff cream puff, and Estopedist1: In recategorization I will use this definition:
