[edit] CFD Discussion

  • This category was listed for deletion on April 6, 2005. The consensus was to Keep although there was some suggestions for changing Names to Neighborhoods but no clear consensus on that matter. The following discussion from CFD is now closed and should not be modified.

Places is too broad a term. Category:Places and various subcats were previously deleted along similar lines. See Places CFD discussion. RedWolf 05:16, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. This is a category for neighbourhoods, but the term neighbourhood is almost unheard in Hong Kong for this meaning. — Instantnood 06:49, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
    • What word would be appropriate? -Kbdank71 13:21, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • Comment: People just say the names of the places. Actually there's no specific word. And there's also no systematic nor official classification and demarcation. — Instantnood 14:45, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • Change to Neighbourhoods JuntungWu 14:26, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Change, but i'm not sure to what - i favor neighborhoods. though that also isn't exactly how the category is being used now. "places", as i understand it, is a too-direct translation of the chinese and used by such. it's not a native english speakers usage. usage of "areas" is the same ("areas" is more common in hk govt writing). "places" and "areas" are just too regional (and inaccurate) to be useful to an encyclopedia. nobody misunderstand "neighborhoods" when i speak it but that doesn't mean it's used natively there.

  • keep. There are random locations that don't fit common categories: vista points, neighborhoods, etc., notable for one reason or another. "places" category is a good place to collect them into one place; at least until a more resonable new category of them emerges. Mikkalai 18:54, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Additional information: the category is linked to zh:Category:香港地方 and de:Kategorie:Ort in Hongkong, both titles meaning "places in Hong Kong". — Instantnood 19:08, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Oh, and it'd be "neighbourhoods". James F. (talk) 21:28, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
