: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.

*'''Support''' – needless duplication. "Lakes of" categories are sufficient. NI lakes are already in both categories, so minimal change needed. [[User:Declangi|Declangi]] ([[User talk:Declangi|talk]]) 21:23, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
*'''Comment''' - we have [[:Category:Lochs of Scotland]] so why not [[:Category:Loughs of Northern Ireland]]? All except one lake in the latter is a 'lough'. I'm inclined to suggest 'Lakes' should be merged into 'Loughs' in this instance. [[User:Sionk|Sionk]] ([[User talk:Sionk|talk]]) 20:03, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
**{{yo|Sionk}} the use of "lakes" vs "loughs" on Irish categories was discussed extensively at [[:WP:Categories for discussion/Log/2018 April 7#Lakes_of_the_Republic_of_Ireland|CfD 2018 April 7#Lakes of the Republic of Ireland]], where the consensus was to accept the piles of evidence I presented that Irish usage prefers "Lakes" as the collective noun.<br>I would have included the Northern Ireland "loughs" cats in that nomination if I had been aware of their existence. --[[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> 07:53, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
* '''Data'''. To test actual usage in Northern Ireland, I did the following searches in reliable sources using Fermanagh because it has 3 major lakes ([[Lough Melvin]] & the 2 [[Lough Erne]]s). The results show an overwhelming preference for "Lakes". --[[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> 09:07, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

* I really haven't the faintest idea how these random esoteric Google searches prove anything. Fancy finding any books or sources about lakes or loughs in Northern Ireland? Wouldn't you consider Google maps and Ordnance Survey to be far more reliable proof of what the lakes of Northern Ireland are called? [[User:Sionk|Sionk]] ([[User talk:Sionk|talk]]) 17:44, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
**{{yo|Sionk}} {{tq|random esoteric}}???? What earth are you on about?<br>Those searches are neither random nor esoteric. As set out at [[WP:COMMONNAME]] they a comprehensive tests of which collective noun is used in [[WP:reliable sources]]: same set of phrases applied to both loughs and lakes and repeated on 3 sets of sources. The result is exceptionally clearcut.<br>Maps are utterly useless because they do not use text to describe a set. --[[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> 21:23, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
::*The issue is whether people use the word 'lough' or 'lake' to describe these bodies of water in Northern Ireland, not whether they use the titles of Wikipedia categories "Loughs of Fermanagh" etc. I would say newspaper articles such as [https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/life/travel/northern-irelands-loughs-make-a-splash-with-the-family-this-summer-35965699.html this one in the Belfast Telegraph] and [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)]clearly show the word 'lough' is used in the English language to describe these bodies of water. For that matter, there's an official body called the [http://www.loughs-agency.org Loughs Agency]. This is not a word solely used in Irish Gaelic, but commonly used in English. [[User:Sionk|Sionk]] ([[User talk:Sionk|talk]]) 06:00, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
:::*{{yo|Sionk}} You misunderstand the issues on all 3 points:
::::# You say {{tq|The issue is whether people use the word 'lough' or 'lake' to describe these bodies of water in Northern Ireland}}. Not so: a) our usage here is not naming ''individual'' lakes; it is what [[collective noun]] is most commonly used when referring to groups of them, as we do in these category titles. b) per [[WP:COMMONNAME]], the test is not some vague "people use"; it is ''"the name that is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable English-language sources)"''. Note: reliable sources. Hence my numeric data on reliable sources.
::::# Cherry-picked examples to support your case do not address the test of what is most ''commonly'' used. Your reliance on 2 examples is like saying that you can identify 2 American men called "John", so most American men are called "John".
::::# 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. [[User:Sionk|Sionk]] ([[User talk:Sionk|talk]]) 18:29, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
::::::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.
