Category:Cultural history of New South Wales

[edit]

I think this category structure needs to be reviewed, I can see what they are trying to do, but it is very deep and I think we can coalesce Category:Cultural history of Australia by state or territory to just be Category:Human activities in New South Wales (and we of course need to do this for each state and territory). It looks unlikely we will ever expand the intermidiary categories. - Chris.sherlock2 (talk) 00:25, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Delete. This is one of the most ridiculously excessive and circuitous hierarchies I've seen in a long time. For posterity, a major element of this hierarchy was:
with a couple of side branches which mostly lead to the same photos of grain silos, such as:
To be clear, there are a couple of real branches for other content buried in here like Category:Police equipment of the New South Wales Police Force and Category:Hangars in New South Wales. But most of it is just layers and layers of categories which just make it impossible to find anything in here. (The eventual categorization of all of these photos under "popular psychology" is particularly ridiculous.) All of this needs to be upmerged with a vengeance - taking a clearly tangible subject like "grain silos" and burying it in a pile of abstractions like "human behavior" or "supply chain engineering" is not helpful.

 Delete. Fully agree with Omphalographer's comment. ReneeWrites (talk) 07:33, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
