new title

a few birds such as the Choiseul pigeon or the broad-billed parrot are contemporarily extinct ; the others are prehistoric ans should be moved to a relevant category (by renaming this one?) --Couiros22 (talk) 08:49, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Opposed speedy move request

Category:Extinct monotypic bird genera to Category:Prehistoric monotypic bird genera – C2C: a few birds such as the Choiseul pigeon or the broad-billed parrot are contemporarily extinct ; the others are prehistoric ans should be moved to a relevant category (by renaming this one?) --Couiros22 (talk) 12:30, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Couiros22: not sure that this fits speedy because Category:Extinct animals is a valid category tree too. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:45, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  the point is to have a 'prehistoric monotypic bird genera' cat embedded in a 'extinct monotypic bird genera' cat. (we can reput the two examples above into the latter) just as 'prehistoric animals' is embedded in the 'extinct animals' cat. --Couiros22 (talk) 17:02, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  In that case, just create a new category? - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 20:55, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree that this doesn't really fit WP:C2C. Also, the established naming scheme for this category tree is Category:Monotypic prehistoric animal genera, not Category:Prehistoric monotypic animal genera. jlwoodwa (talk) 23:58, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
