Øresund Region categories

Discussion moved from User:Danielsltt's talk page:

Hi Danielsltt. Thanks for creating Øresund Region-based categories of Buildings and structures, cities and towns, etc. However, I am affraid that they are a bit of a mess. Please note that individual churches, castles, towns etc should not be placed directly in the categories. It is enough to place Category:Churches in Region Zealand, Category:Churches in Skåne County etc in the Category:Churches in the Øresund Region. Instead, Category: Churches in the Øresund Region is placed as a subcategory of Category: Churches in Slåne County, which is not how the system works (all churches in Skåne County are located in the Øresund Region while not all churches in the Øresund Region are located in Skåne County. There is a lot of tidying up to do.Ramblersen2 (talk) 15:37, 24 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Yeah well the issue is that the Öresund region is supposed to denote a metropolis as an urban agglomeration which Skåne county is not a part of
It is really only the stretch around both sides of the Öresund that could be defined as a metropolis - whatever irrelevant source decided Skåne county was to be included in that definition in its entirety does not hold any authority
Either way due to Wikipedias inoperable policy on what makes for a source of authority makes this an impossible discussion since there will be no consensus that is not arbitrary Danielsltt (talk) 15:25, 28 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
The idea of doing this was obviously to denote the urban agglomeration since most of the population in Skåne county live on the west coast Danielsltt (talk) 15:26, 28 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
So the discussion is not a matter of category order Danielsltt (talk) 15:27, 28 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Sorry but I think it is a really bad idea to simply start creating categories based on ypur on eclectic understanding of what the Øresund Region comprises. You will either have to go with official definitions or not create them at all.Ramblersen2 (talk) 14:01, 7 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
