The categories are currently empty.
Marcocapelle (

Delete per nom. Comment These are recently-created empty duplicates of existing
Category:Asian architecture tree. The creator was probably inspired by
my recent speedy-renaming of
Category:African architecture to
Category:Architecture of Africa (per C2D, which currently doesn't apply to other architecture-by-continent cats). I do favour the naming Architecture ofin Fooland, but that should happen by renaming existing trees according to procedure, not creating duplicates. Let's delete the duplicates first before considering renaming its siblings.
NLeeuw (
talk) 12:28, 4 April 2024 (UTC)reply
PS: For a future renaming of the whole tree, I think Architecture in Fooland may actually make more sense that "of", as it is almost universally applied in lower-level categories.
E.g.
Category:Brutalist architecture by continent has children called Brutalist architecture in Fooland. And although Commons usually favours "of", here too it has
c:Category:Brutalist architecture by country with Brutalist architecture in Fooland. So the creator's goal of moving towards the "in" formulation isn't so ill-thought, it's just badly applied in practice.
I'm definitely not opposed to Architecture in FOO for a later CFD. (My goal is to just clean up the mess of the category creator)
