Oppose Sorry, no they do not. It would be like bundling together the timber industry (described by WP as "logging") with the construction and furniture industries wouldn't it? One is a crop, creating and dealing with a raw material the other is finished products (made from the raw material in factories or on-site). The wool industry makes wool. The woollen industry makes things using wool. By all means add them together under Wool — which is exactly what happens now. The distinction seems so clear to me I don't see why the question is asked here unless woolgrowers are so much better organised than the growers of other natural textiles?
From the OED
Wool: The fine soft curly hair forming the fleecy coat of the domesticated sheep (and similar animals), characterized by its property of felting (due to the imbricated surface of the filaments) and used chiefly in a prepared state for making cloth; frequently, the material in a prepared state as a commodity.
OpposeCategory:Wool trade per
Peterkingiron because it leaves out the primary producers — all the farmers growing the wool and the vets and shearers and the . . . They are not buying or selling it they are Making it! And that has to be the most important though sometimes overlooked part of the whole business. And meat is something different again for the meat industry with all its particular activities.
Wool does not appear in a factory out of little holes on the side of big vats of chemicals. While many sheep are grown to produce both at least marketable meat as well as marketable wool by the magic of modern breeding those best at the wool product are not the best at the other, final, meaty end.

Look at what is in the category: it does not cover the farmers producing it, or sheep, or even shearers, but what happens between the farm gate and the factory door of the works turning it into cloth.

Nominator's rationale:delete, financial services companies hardly ever use brands, they just sell directly under their company name. This also applies to the one article in this category.

Keep if populated To say "financial services companies hardly ever use brands, they just sell directly under their company name" is flat untrue. Most of the fs brands you may think are a "company name" are not, they are brands owned by another company, perhaps via a subsidiary company with that name. But as it is the category is little use, & if not populated can go without prejudice to recreation if someone wants to do it properly.

Nominator's rationale:merge, in practice the category overlaps with its target because there is too little notable content on Dutch Empire maritime history after the Dutch Republic was abolished, and in fact all of the current content of the category neatly fits the Dutch Republic category.

Comment -- This is a one-article category for a group of MTR stations in Hong Kong. If kept MTR should be expanded, an issues that applies to a whole tree. However do we need this category at all?

Comment -- I created this category to categorize railway stations in Hong Kong ONLY (I don't know this kind of category other than Hong Kong in fact) cope with the Chinese version of this category. If no other category names are appropriate, I suggest keeping this category name.

Delete. Whether a building is on reclaimed land or not is not a
WP:DEFINING characteristic of the building, so it's not a trait that requires categorization under any name.

Delete per Bearcat (and then cfd the similar category for public housing) - there's no need to categorize buildings by characteristics of the history of the land they are on. DexDor(talk)19:01, 12 June 2017 (UTC)reply
Comment, Hi, Marcocapelle! These two categories can be considered to be the same category like "land reclamation in Hong Kong", but they should be considered to exist independently.

Comment -- Both may be legitimate categories, but they are (and should be) Hong Kong specific. "reclaimed land" is potentially a subdivision of Hong Kong.

Keep - These are the equivalent of ambassadors between Commonwealth countries, the envoys to Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc will also be High Commissioners; it just is that we do not yet have any articles.
