:'''Nominator's rationale''': Duplicates of [[:Category:Lakes of Northern Ireland]] and its subcats; e.g. [[:Category:Loughs of County Tyrone]] duplicates [[:Category:Lakes of County Tyrone]].
:Northern Ireland is a subcat of both UK and Ireland and in each case the convention is "lakes": [[:Category:Lakes of the United Kingdom by country]] & [[:Category:Lakes of Ireland]]. This "loughs" set is parented in neither, which may be why the duplication happened.
Line 51 ⟶ 55:
::::# There is indeed an official body called the [http://www.loughs-agency.org Loughs Agency]. If you had taken 30 seconds to follow the link at the top of that page to http://www.loughs-agency.org/about-us/, then you have seen that there's an official body called the Loughs Agency which is responsible for 2 ''sea loughs'', rather than the ''freshwater lakes'' in these categories.<br> You could also have learnt that by reading the previous discussion to which I linked yesterday: [[:WP:Categories for discussion/Log/2018 April 7#Lakes_of_the_Republic_of_Ireland|CfD 2018 April 7#Lakes of the Republic of Ireland]].
::::It is disappointing to have to waste time refuting the falsehoods posted by an editor who chooses not to read linked policy, not to read a linked previous discussion, and not even to read a website which they cite in evidence. --[[User:BrownHairedGirl|<span style="color:#663200;">Brown</span><span style="display:inline-block;transform:rotate(-3deg)">Haired</span>Girl]] <small>[[User talk:BrownHairedGirl|(talk)]] • ([[Special:Contributions/BrownHairedGirl|contribs]])</small> 07:41, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
:::::Ouch! No need to be so aggressive. For "cherry picked examples" I think you actually mean "examples", which I've provided in contrast to you. It's no skin off my nose if the categories are renamed, but maybe you'd like to restore some credibility by finding sources that show the majority of people talke about "lakes" in Northern Ireland.

::::::Two examples picked and cited without any attempt to assess statistical significance = Cherry picked examples.
::::::As to sources that show common usage: see the data table above.
::::::I'm sorry that you feel your credibility is dented, but I'm sure you will recover elegantly when you read and digest the naming policy. --[[User:BrownHairedGirl|<span style="color:#663200;">Brown</span><span style="display:inline-block;transform:rotate(-3deg)">Haired</span>Girl]] <small>[[User talk:BrownHairedGirl|(talk)]] • ([[Special:Contributions/BrownHairedGirl|contribs]])</small> 18:35, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
:::::::PS I just looked at you second "example": [https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/disputed-irish-loughs-present-brexit-conundrum-for-fishermen-a7618916.html this one in The Independent (London)].
:::::::It's about ''sea loughs'', not ''freshwater lakes''.

*'''Support''' – per nom. [[User:Spleodrach|Spleodrach]] ([[User talk:Spleodrach|talk]]) 11:58, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
*'''Support'''. (1) Duplication is bad. (2) we have already established [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2018 April 7#Lakes of the Republic of Ireland|here]] that the common collective noun for lakes in Ireland is "lakes", not "loughs". This is true for Northern Ireland as it is for the Republic. For the record, I find BHG's data from Google Books, Google Scholar and Jstor compelling evidence in favour.
