no consensus. The discussion was heading in the direction of a dual-upmerge to the century categories for Ottoman Syria as well as the year categories for Ottoman Empire, e.g. Category:18th-century establishments in Ottoman Syria as well as the year categories Category:1784 establishments in the Ottoman Empire. However, implementing that now would depopulate the hierarchy in Category:Decades in Ottoman Syria, which (a) has not been tagged (despite my suggestion dated 3 June, below) and (b) has been expanded since the nomination. – |
