Commons:Categories for discussion/2018/01/Category:Things named after Avalon
It's not clear which "Avalon" the things here are supposedly named after. It could be the Avalon of Arthurian legend, but we don't have a category for that -- Category:Avalon is a disambiguation category. In any case, there's only one entry here, so I'm not sure this category is worth keeping. Auntof6 (talk) 05:36, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- Comment: A user moved this category to another name in an attempt to clarify, but I have moved it back: not only because such moves break discussion links, but because I'm not sure we know that everything called "Avalon" was named for the same thing. --Auntof6 (talk) 06:45, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- Sorry for the ambiguous naming. To clarify, the category would be better to be renamed to Category:Things named after Avalon (legendary island) as I tried. Other than the category "Category:Toyota Avalon", there are things named after the "Avalon" of Arthurian legend. So, I think this category is extensible and would be worth to keeping. However, I have no intention to object to remove the category.--Morio (talk) 06:56, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Morio: How do we know that all the things were named for the island? --Auntof6 (talk) 07:00, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- I have added categories only whose origins of names are clear in the Wikipedia articles. We should remove the categories whose origins of names are different or unknown.--Morio (talk) 07:13, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- OK, thanks for that answer. --Auntof6 (talk) 07:38, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- The move as described by Morio sounds reasonable to me. – BMacZero (🗩) 20:56, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
Agree. @BMacZero, Morio, and Auntof6: but should we delete the nominated category, once Category:Things named after Avalon (legendary island) is established properly (currently a redirect)?--Estopedist1 (talk) 10:52, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
- @Estopedist1: I would delete it. -- Auntof6 (talk) 12:00, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
- I'm, unhelpfully, indifferent about leaving a redirect. – BMacZero (🗩) 17:12, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
