Line 162:
3. The biggest of the 25 seems to be 'Category:Barons in the Peerage of the United Kingdom' with 11 subcats and 1335 entries. I suggest that this category is a candidate for diffusion, and that it illustrates 'the merits of categories like Category:Earls of Leicester', to quote a phrase used in the 2016 discussion.
4. There are many cases of successive creations of an earldom with the same name - e.g. [[Earl of Yarmouth]] is a title that has been created three times in British history, once in the Peerage of England and twice in the Peerage of Great Britain. IOW not all Earls of Y were Earls in the Peerage of E and not all Earls of Y were Earls in the Peerage of GB - so I suggest that it is incorrect to make [[:Category:Earls of Yarmouth]] a subcat of either 'Earls in the Peerage of E' or 'Earls in the Peerage of GB'. I suggest that having [[:Category:Earls of Yarmouth (1679)]] (which is a subcat of both [[:Category|Earls in the Peerage of England]] and [[:Earls of Yarmouth]])
allows the reader to see at a glance (a) which individuals held peerages under which creation and (b) which were in e.g. the Peerage of England or the Peerage of GB.
