Category:September 1990 in Finland

edit

I request all year–month categories for Finland for the year 1999 and before (e.g. Category:September 1990 in Finland and Category:June 1999 in Finland) to be deleted. There are so few pictures taken in Finland from that time that there are no need to categorize them by month.

I don't object time based categorization or per country year–month categorization generally (I have personally created plenty of such categories.), but there has to be enough images to be categorized. If there are only few images, too precise categorization just makes it harder to find them. --Apalsola t • c 01:36, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I support this sytem for the Nordic states to stat by January 1990 until we get more older images. J 1982 (talk) 01:43, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Let's take 1992 as an example. At the moment there are only 17 images in the category and its sub-categories (apart from the "built in" category). Any useful per month categorization cannot be done until there are far more images taken in Finland in 1992. ––Apalsola t • c 01:59, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The request also applies to YEAR in Finland by month meta categories. The present list of the categories in question:

  •  Support I agree with Apalsola. There should actually be a reasonable number of images before we blindly go creating month categories. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 18:55, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • About 1,5 years have passed since I opened this discussion and there still are only few images in these categories, so I'll move their images to the parent ("YEAR in Finland") catetegories and make a deletion request in 1990s the "MONTH YEAR in Finland" categories. ––Apalsola t • c 09:22, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Images moved, as per above. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 17:14, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
