I see that I previously defended this category, but some former members may have been merged, leaving less content to make these two categories worthwhile. I now support the proposed merge. –

Comment Shouldn't this be something like List of foods/dishes by cuisine? All child categories are named Fooian cuisine-related lists, while almost all articles are named List of Barian dishes/foods/drinks/desserts/ingredients. It seems like Barian is explicitly meant to include diaspora communities of Barian emigrants around the world, who have taken their Barian cuisine dishes and stuff with them. If we rename to "by country", we could be excluding diaspora communities, while "nationality" (though problematic) at least includes first-generation emigrants from Bar. I'm not sure what a better alternative would be, though. Thoughts?

Nominator's rationale: The current category names are ambiguous as to whether they're, for example, posters of Swedish films or film posters from Sweden. I'd recommend renaming to "Film posters of Sweden" like the
Commons categories.

Question I hate to be pedantic, but do you mean:
Film posters made in Sweden?
Film posters hung in Sweden?
Posters of films made in Sweden?
Posters of films made by Swedish crew members or crew members from Sweden?
Film posters that show "Sweden" (e.g. its landscapes or symbols associated with Sweden)?
Film posters made or owned by the government of Sweden?
Poster of films made by the government of Sweden?
Etc.
All of these are more or less reasonable interpretations of Film posters of Sweden. I'm glad you're trying to clarify the catnames, but I don't see it getting much clearer.

Comment, regardless of renaming I do not think this is very ambiguous. Posters of Swedish films (i.e. in other countries than Sweden) would be a rather odd reading.

Keep. 9 pages now that I have put the communes into the category. 14 when articles are started for the capitals of the communes. And a region with over 600,000 people surely has many more settlements that deserve an article.

According to the wikipedia articles, each of the seven communes in
Kirundo Province has a capital with the same name. The capital of the
Commune of Bugabira is
Bugabira. The capital of the
Commune of Busoni is
Busoni, and so on. Kirundo Province had a population of 628,256 as of the 2008 census. The 2018 population was estimated as 927,761, or about 130,000 per commune. Our coverage of this region is atrocious. Let's not make it even harder for editors to improve it.
This source describes Bugabira as a small town with colonial-era architecture. Bugabira commune is divided into the collines of Kiri, Kiyonza, Gaturanda, Rubuga, Kigina, Nyakarama, Nyamabuye, Nyabikenke, Rugasa, Gitwe and Kigoma.
[1] Google maps shows Gaturanda as a region south of an arm of
Lake Cyohoha South with labelled villages named Gaturanda, Rugondo and Rubuga. Gaturanda village looks substantial.
[2] In 2012 the Global Water Partnership Eastern Africa gathered data related to drought in Rubuga, Kigina, and Gaturanda in Bugabira commune.
[3] In August 2014 six houses were burned in Bugabira commune, including five in Gaturanda and one in Kigoma.
[4] In April 2016
Gaston Sindimwo, President of Burundi, visited Gaturanda, which lies on the border with
Rwanda, to ask the people not to stir up problems over refugees.
[5] In 2023 Bugabira municipality issued a call for tenders for extension of the Gaturanda health center.
[6].
Clearly these is enough information online to piece together sketches of the many populated places in Kirundo Province. The category structure should be ready for them.

@
Aymatth2: "Five" is often mentioned at CFD as some editors' opinion of a sensible minimum. Personally, I would create a category for four. In a case like this, where additional stubs could easily be created, I would not bother nominating a category that had three members – but I would still not encourage you to create it for less than four. –
FayenaticLondon08:00, 9 June 2024 (UTC)reply
I have often included Commune and town in the same article for African countries. Makes sense for places in the developing world where there may not be an abundance of sources. Though I don't think we should really have the commune and town in the same article for places which cover an area of 235 square kilometres like Bugabira. Either way, it would be silly to delete a category simply because the region is underdeveloped. ♦
Dr. Blofeld14:07, 10 June 2024 (UTC)reply
As Aymatth2 admits, even the other 5 capitals of communes in Kirundo Province do not have articles yet. For some reason a
famous cat-stroking Wikipedian created 50 stubs for
Populated places in Bubanza Province 16 years ago, mostly villages, then apparently petered out part-way into Buriri Province. As and when articles are created for more settlements in this province, the category may then be re-created when it becomes justifiable, but
Template:Kirundo Province is sufficient and appropriate for navigational needs at the moment; I have added
Vumbi into it. –
FayenaticLondon12:44, 8 June 2024 (UTC)reply
Kirundo Province has more people than Alaska, which has at least
148 populated places. If
Category:Populated places in Kirundo Province is deleted, and then a new editor decides to create articles for some of the places in the province, they will likely try to recreate the category. They will see a big red warning saying the Wikipedia community has decided there should not be such a category. I would just go ahead and recreate it anyway, but a newbie may be discouraged. That is the last thing we want to happen for an area which is so poorly covered.
