*'''merge''' to parent(s). This is a wholly unnecessary category level, merely housing a single subcategory. [[User:Peterkingiron|Peterkingiron]] ([[User talk:Peterkingiron|talk]]) 18:08, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
*'''Keep.''' I seem to recall there was discussion among members of the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Mining|Mining WikiProject]] when this tree structure was implemented and it was agreed at that time that there are three major classifications of mining methods that could be distinguished (Underground, Surface, and Solution). There are also variations of these styles, but that would have been overkill. Which "type" is most prevalent really depends on the commodity, the area of activity, and when the mining occurred. There are a significant number of all three "types" throughout the world, so stating that any one method is a minority is incorrect and an extreme over-simplification of an already simplified category tree.

*'''Keep''' generally based on rationale by Turgan, and while I don't have any data, I would ''think'' that most mines are surface mines (I don't know if anyone could definitively answer that question). Not that it particularly matters, we don't inherently categorize by exception (and I don't think this is an exception). The fact that Underground Mines by Country is the only subcategory doesn't mean that it should be or will always be. Thinking off hand, it could easily be subcategorized into stope mines and cave mines, which are both distinct types of underground mines. One could even add a category for underground gold/copper/salt mines, although I think that is a little too detailed for a category.--[[User:kelapstick|kelapstick]]<sup>([[User talk:Kelapstick#top|bainuu]]) </sup> 18:43, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
