• Category:Counties of South Korea to Category:Counties in South Korea – C2C Sawol (talk) 09:44, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Oppose Parent Category:Counties uses "of" consistently which is better. Brandmeister^talk 11:57, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Would you please explain the difference between cites in A and counties of A? Sawol (talk) 15:57, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

"Cities in" means their geographical location. In case of counties, "of" is better, because they are administrative divisions, not cities. Brandmeister^talk 19:58, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

@Brandmeister: Thanks. Cities in South Korea are also administrative divisions. Both cities and counties in South Korea are in the same level administrative subdivisions. South Korea is made up of 8 special cities and 9 provinces. A province consists of cities and counties. So, is Category:Cities in South Korea moved to Category:Cities of South Korea?

@Brandmeister: You are only one opponent. You are responsible for providing replies. Please show that a) counties in South Korea are administrative divisions, b) cities in South Korea are not administrative divisions, c) administrative divisions use "of," and d) geographical locations use "in."

It's not relevant. Category:Counties uses "of", so this category should retain "of" for consistency, as this is C2C criterion ("Bringing a category into line with established naming conventions for that category tree"). Brandmeister^talk 00:01, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
