The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's

Nominator's rationale: All these categories have nothing to do with bilateral, foreign, and/or international relations as the naming would suggest. The majority of the entries are subcats that have to do with people of Scottish heritage, diaspora, and emigrants, including expatriate sportspeople. The Poland category entries have mostly to do with relations related to the UK. As do all the other categories nominated regarding relations as modern relations of Scotland are through the UK. Not independently by Scotland.

Jean-Marc Adjovi-Bocco is nothing to do with Benin–Scotland relations. Diplomats are part of bilateral relations but expatriate sportspeople (and emigrants in general) have no such role.

Delete, redundant category layer when it just contains subcategories of expatriate people or people by descent. The Polish category does contain quite a few articles as well but it is quite a random collection that has little to do with relations between countries.
Marcocapelle (

Delete -- These are not about diplomatic relations, because Scotland is not a sovereign country and has none, though there may be foreign consulates in Edinburgh or Glasgow to provide assistance to their citizens or with trade. Scotland-Poland relations might have covered pre-1603 ambassadors, but none are recorded. I say 1603, not 1707, because diplomatic relations were done by the king, not Parliament.

Hm, would swapping sports and continental make it better: Sports continental governing bodies in Europe? Any other suggestions? After some thinking, I find the grouping of this type of organisations useful in the tree to differ the ones for the whole Europe from

Nominator's rationale: This seems to be overcategorization, we already have categories for all tournament winners such as
FIFA World Cup-winning players. No articles even exist on the winning captains, this information seems better suited to include on a pages such as
List of FIFA World Cup winning players. Also, there is not always a clear definition of who a winning captain is, as a team may have no designated captain, multiple captains or a captain who misses the final.

Nominator's rationale: No article exists regarding a football team of
