[edit]

The category Category:1911 establishments in Slovenia has been removed twice without any explanation. I don't think the separate elements of the category are under discussion, the museum was established in 1911 and is located in Slovenia. So probably people have a problem with the combination, because the countryname in 1911 wasn't Slovenia. Somehow, this isn't a problem with people categories like Category:People from Vodice, Slovenia or Category:Slovenian geographers or Category:Slovenian religious leaders which also contains people from long before the independent country Slovenia existed. So why the different treatment for people and museums? Why allow Category:Slovenia in World War II and not Category:1911 establishments in Slovenia? I have no objection to anyone wanting to create a Category:1911 establishments in Austria-Hungary and making this category a member of that category, I have no intention of denying that Slovenia was part of another country at the time.

But if I, as a reader, want to know how the current country Slovenia evolved, when current (or past) institutions in current Slovenia emerged, then categories like this one are a good help. What happened in the past in what is currently Slovenia? Fram (talk) 08:10, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 January 2#Establishments in Slovenia (2 categories). This follows many precedents for former countries/territories. If there are sufficient entries to create establishment categories for Istria, go ahead. IMHO, a high level Category:Establishments in Istria could be sub-catted under establishments in Slovenia. – Fayenatic London 18:28, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
