Speedy close. The category and the parent article now match, although this was done by moving the article instead of the category (he's almost never known as just "Robert Lange"). There is now no point in renaming the category, so I consider this discussion closed, non-admin style |

Category:Zimbabwean laws enacted after 2000 |
rename to Category:Zimbabwean legislation. I don't know if you folks are overthinking again or you're on to something. Then again, it's Monday morning, and that buzzing in my head may just be from lack of coffee. I'm wondering if I should just make my "have nothing or little to do with the close" comments as small like this to set it apart from the close. Cause less drama? god I need coffee |
