| 1786 elections |
merge Category:United States gubernatorial elections, 1786 to (new) Category:Gubernatorial elections in the United States by year; keep the others. This is a revised close to this CfD. Initially I kept only Category:1786 elections and created 18th-century categories, but on reflection (having tried it) it does not make navigation clearer if we remove the small initial categories from Category:Elections in the United States by year and Category:Elections in the United States by year and state. There are only four year-categories (1777, 1780, 1783 & 1786) with only one member, and after that there are multiple members. Category:Elections in the United States by state and year should remain complete, and keeping Category:New York elections, 1786 saves category clutter on the article (because otherwise the page should be added into multiple parent categories). – |
