Built in Leeds by year categories

There is no actual category but I'm listing the individual category pages here. It seems entirely excessive and unnecessary to keep track of what was built in this city by year. The biggest category is probably going to be at most 2-3 items, especially since it's highly unlikely the actual Leeds by year categories will be anything else. I'm ignoring the fact that these are all in the West Yorkshire (which didn't exist until 1974) parent category when they should be in either West Riding of Yorkshire (pre-1889) or directly in England (Leeds was a county borough from 1889-1973). Suggest deletion and upmerger into the parent architecture by decade in Leeds category, the built in West Yorkshire (for now) category and the Leeds by that year category. --Ricky81682 (talk) 23:41, 9 February 2021 (UTC) [reply]

Each built in Leeds by year category

All the categories involved. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 23:50, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- @Ricky81682: If I understand correctly, that objection seems to assume that only subcategories, not individual photos, will be put in these categories, and that there isn't all that much notable in Leeds or that it's not that well documented. While Seattle, the area I know best, doesn't have a separate "built in..." hierarchy, look at (for example) Category:Built in Washington (state) in 1890 (mostly Seattle) and Category:1890 in Seattle. (1) There can be a lot built in a year in a city. (2) When you say, "highly unlikely the actual Leeds by year categories will be anything else," why do you think that? Leeds then was almost as big as Seattle now! Are there no decent photos of 1890s Leeds? - Jmabel ! talk 02:59, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Jmabel: Maybe I spoke to too soon but given that I'm creating the categories (most of them are early 20th-century), it's largely empty as of now. The objection is more these separately built in categories just make the built in county category a holder category with one item. I'm also not certain if it's going to be in Leeds or in the City of Leeds separately). Sweden has creation by municipality but I still see each one as maybe 2-3 categories at most. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 03:37, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment By decade is the usual level of granularity for this sort of category. Support upmerging. Rodhullandemu (talk) 08:12, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
