Category:Københavns Befæstning

[edit]

Replaced by Category:Fortifications of Copenhagen (19th to 20th century) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Glenn (talk • contribs) 16:16, 18 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

 Question, is there a particular reason for deleting the category instead of redirecting it to the new category? Thanks. Tvpuppy (talk) 01:28, 19 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Yes - Category:Københavns Befæstning is a broad (non-specific) term like Category:Fortifications of Copenhagen. --Glenn (talk) 03:45, 19 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I see, thanks for the explanation. Tvpuppy (talk) 04:12, 19 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Jeff G.: Quote from here: "Why delete, when you could have made that category contain Category:Fortifications of Copenhagen (19th to 20th century) instead?" Jeff G.
Because I used an existing better named category: Category:Fortifications of Copenhagen to contain among others Category:Fortifications of Copenhagen (19th to 20th century). --Glenn (talk) 16:04, 19 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Glenn: Why is that name so much better?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 17:39, 19 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Jeff G.: My best argument is that "Københavns befæstning" or just "befæstning" is singular - while "Fortifications" is plural. ("(Københavns) befæstninger" would be plural). (But if it should be in danish I would use "Københavns forsvarsanlæg" - also plural). But I personally do not have a strong opinion about it as long as the name is plural. --Glenn (talk) 18:28, 19 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
 Delete as singular per the 18:28 post above.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 19:40, 19 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: per nomination. --Polarlys (talk) 10:52, 26 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
