The following discussion comes from Wikipedia:Categories for deletion. This is an archive of the discussion only; please do not edit this page. The decision was to use the form "Libraries in X", which makes the meaning more clear. -Aranel ("Sarah") 17:21, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)

- Danish relates to Denmark where Danes live, like Hamlet. Dutch speak Nederlans and live in the Netherlands, like William of Orange. 132.205.15.43 02:31, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- I agree with this change (with the reservation of 132.205.15.43 taken into account that Category:Danish_libraries should be Category:Libraries in Denmark). Using country name rather that nationality (which is also homonymous with the name of the languages in these cases) creates less ambiguity. There are Swedish (language) libraries in Finland and probably in other countries as well. I don't know if such libraries would need a category under Category:Libraries by the dominant language of their holdings or visitors or something like that, but that is probably no pressing matter. / up+land 11:56, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- I corrected it to Denmark. I'm sure that was what was intended. -Aranel ("Sarah") 03:41, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

- Not a library where people can borrow pastry, then :) Grutness|^hello?
  - Where do I sign up for my borrower's card? —Michael Z. 05:17, 2005 Jan 17 (UTC)
Agree strongly with Uppland. In theory, both Foo-language libraries and Libraries in Foo (country) may become relevant, but it's important to make the distinction. Adjective would rather be connected to language and/or ethnicity. Nouns are less ambiguously indicating states, lands, countries, territories and whatever. /Tuomas 08:19, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
