*'''Rename''' but to [[:Category:Scottish surnames]]. Some of these are based on Scottish place-names (e.g. Selkirk, Hamilton). Some are English language (e.g. King, Armstrong). Some are Highland clans, which are presumably Gaelic. At least the Gaelic ones are not Scots-language, which is a dialect of English (or related language, according to your POV).

Winston-Salem is not a city where the city councillors get an automatic presumption of notability, so there's little to no prospect of expansion -- and as it stands, there's just one person actually filed here at all, and even his article is up for deletion as it doesn't properly demonstrate that he's actually notable in the first place. But even in the unlikely event that somebody can salvage it enough to make it keepable, this category still wouldn't be needed for just one person.

City councillors are not routinely accepted as "inherently" notable, so this isn't readily expandable -- both of the two people here are notable for other reasons (one went on to become mayor and the other served in the state legislature) rather than because they were city councillors per se. So there would need to be a lot more than just two notable former city councillors to justify a dedicated category for them.

* '''Comment''' It seems to me that these kinds of categories are considered not useful in general. I disagree with that because what they are doing is providing an overview on the differnet ways of '''categorizations''' itself: categorization by (1) topic, (2) time or (3) space / ___location. Naturally, the by far largest portion will be about categorizations by topic and here we need to make sure to have at least 2 categories: One that lists all the numerous '''topics''' (politics, history, ..) that are getting categorized in various ways and another category which lists several '''parameters''' [X] by which categories are '''getting''' categorized (''' category by X''').

:* Categorically rejecting a naming syntax or type of categorization solely based on ... whatever reason you personally might have with it, is no good practise. I ask in which way letting the categories well alone and let people naturally further develop them to their liking would be disruptive to the rest of Wikipedia. Let it sit. Give it time.

=====New comments, December 2019 to present=====
*'''Suppport''' mergers of [[:Category:Categories by parameter]], [[:Category:Categories by category]] and [[:Category:Categories by parametric categorization]]. '''Neutral''' for the topical, periodical and regional mergers. Currently by parameter by category and by parametric categorization have the same purpose of being the root of the same tree. There is no real distinction between them and they should be merged to avoid confusion and improve navigation. For the others I'm unsure. On the one hand the tree is so large some sort of subcategories are needed on the other it's not intuitive what's in it and what's not making a larger category potentially making it easier to find what you're looking for. I think an overwhelming restructuring of the tree is required and this will probably require a lot of CfDs. Perhaps an upmerge of these three, and maybe some more and then combining related categories together in subsequent discussions could be a good way forward? ‑‑[[User:Trialpears|Trialpears]] ([[User talk:Trialpears|talk]]) 18:53, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
