[edit] Category:International trade
I'm having a hard time seeing the difference between this category and Category:International economics. Even if we vote to retain Category:International trade, however, it is clearly a subset of Category:International economics and not the other way around (which is the way it currently is). —Lowellian (talk)[[]] 00:58, Dec 4, 2004 (UTC)
- Delete Category:International economics instead. How much use of that phrase do you hear in business, law, and politics compared to "international trade"? Browsing through the content of Category:International economics, it was added later to some of the articles already in Category:International trade (which has over 80 articles). I should also note that while we have international trade, we do not have international economics. What do we gain by keeping such a category? Postdlf 04:49, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

- Currently, the two categories have way too much overlap. The problem is that international trade is a subset of international economics. Therefore, if we only retained the category international trade, we would be unable to properly categorize some articles pertaining to international economics. And the term "international economics" is often used. A Google search for "international economics" turns up 1,500,000 hits—not as many as "international trade"'s 8,660,000, but still far from insignificant. —Lowellian (talk)[[]] 04:55, Dec 4, 2004 (UTC)
- Keep - The subject of international economics as taught in economics schools and the subject of international trade as taught in business schools are quite different. There is however an overlap (as there is between any subjects). This is complicated by the fact that some economists use the term international trade to describe a subcategory of international economics. Mydogategodshat
- I do not find any articles in Category:International economics that do not related to "international trade". Since "international trade" seems to be the more common term, I would support delete Category:International economics, but the two most certainly need to be merged, no matter what the name. They are currently subcategories of each other, which is non-sensical, and there is too much overlap to make navigational sense. -- Beland 03:57, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
