Category talk:Russian ladies-in-waiting

Contested deletion

This category should not be speedy deleted as being unpopulated, because... (your reason here) --Aciram (talk) 17:00, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

This is very odd; the category is naturally relevant, as it is the equivalent of other categories all sorted by nationality, and it has previously been filled with many articles and can be so again easily since they are many articles on wikipedia which can be sorted in it. It had many articles sorted by it just recently. Someone must have saboutaged this category by purposedly emptying it so as to have it deleted. I can fill it again if you wait a little.--Aciram (talk) 17:00, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

It appears someone emptied this category to replace it with the category Imperial Russian ladies-in-waiting‎. This category is a natural sub category to that, just as Imperial Russia is a natural sub category to Russia. It is also the equivalent to the other categories of other nations, which may also have sub categories depending of the epoch.--Aciram (talk) 17:06, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

The Tsardom ladies-in-waiting is also a sub category to Russian ladies-in-waiting, just like both Imperial Russia and the Tsardom of Russia is sub categories of Russia. Categories sorting by epoch of a country, is still sub categories of categories sorting by that country. --Aciram (talk) 17:27, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
