Category:Commons users by name It's not helpful to have a category that just contains user pages. For that we can go to Special:AllPages and filter by namespace. Auntof6 (talk) 17:10, 2 June 2019 (UTC) Agreed. And it's also empty. Delete. - Themightyquill (talk) 19:07, 2 June 2019 (UTC) User:Mazuritz has redirected it to Category:Users by name. I don't think that's any better. It now contains only categories. I suggest moving the contents of Category:Users by name to Category:User categories and deleting both Category:Commons users by name and Category:Users by name, because it's also not helpful to have categories that duplicate the purpose of Category:User categories. @Mazuritz: please do not go ahead with that move until there is consensus for it here. Thanks. I have added a CFD template to Category:Users by name. --Auntof6 (talk) 06:50, 20 June 2019 (UTC) No problem Auntof6, I cancelled my modification on Category:Commons users by name. I agree with the redirection or deletion of this category. On the other hand, I think it is important to keep Category:Users by name which is really practical. You can follow the tree structure Category:Users by name>Category:Users by name by country and the classification that allows. I am not against Category:User categories at all, but today it contains more 9,898 categories. Category:Users by name can effectively be a complement for it (maybe to rename in Category:User categories by name ? I'm open for ever proposition). --Mazuritz (talk) 07:56, 20 June 2019 (UTC) I still don't think this is useful. What's the benefit of Category:Users in Belgium by name over Category:Users in Belgium? - Themightyquill (talk) 09:28, 28 June 2019 (UTC) I agree with all of what Mazuritz said in his last comment. Category:Commons users by name is effectively superfluous and should be deleted so long as Category:Users by name (which I'd actually like to see renamed to become Category:Users by username which is more explicit in its definition and purpose) remains alive and well. They're absolutely right when they make the observation that Category:User categories has reached an unwieldy size for a bottom-level category and requires further subdivision. While it may not be the entire solution to the problem, it undoubtedly represents a large portion of it. Furthermore the policy documents regarding User categories should be updated to guide users creating them that if they're making more than one that they should all be placed within a container category within this one. I believe that brings us much closer to an ultimate solution to the Category:User categories bloating situation. — ⚞🐈ℛogueScholar🗨₨Talk⚟ My recent mischief 20:20, 27 August 2019 (UTC) CONCLUSION: deleted by consensus. -- SERGIO (aka the Blackcat) 01:30, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
