::*Well this is a new thing. Is {{Ping|User:Fayenatic london}} going down the path of snippiness so favoured by other admins? I hope not. Regarding my map-reading, my post above counted 3 bridges over the Waal in the city of Nijmegen. Though not named, they are the [[Waalbrug]], the [[Nijmegen railway bridge]] and the Oversteek. Editor {{Ping|User:Furius}} above mentions the last named, the Oversteek, so that was included in my count. He also mentions the Snelbinder which is not actually a distinct bridge in itself but rather a paved section of the Waalbrug, already counted. Lastly he mentions the Nieuwe Hezelpoort which is an inland railway bridge in the city (i.e. it does not cross the Waal). It's hard to believe that a perfectly ordinary railway bridge is worthy of an article, but let's assume for the sake of the argument that it does. So that brings the count to 4; still not meeting the threshold. [[User:Laurel Lodged|Laurel Lodged]] ([[User talk:Laurel Lodged|talk]]) 08:35, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
*'''Alternative merge''' -- If this goes ahead there need to be further merge targets. I looked at the Lisbon case, whose parent is "Portugal by city", the sibling category being Porto with 6 bridges. The parent for Portugal has a lot of bridges, but it is not clear where they are. My suggestion is not to abolish the categories but to have county/provincial categories, which might get enough population to be worthwhile.

**{{ping|Peterkingiron}} I agree about additional merge targets, and some can be found by checking the existing parent categories, such as [[:Category:Transport in Lisbon]] in this case, as I suggested above. There is [[:Category:Bridges in Portugal by district]], which has 3 sub-cats at present; as for Lisbon District [[:Category:Buildings and structures in Lisbon District]] & sub-cats have at least three bridge articles. At a higher level it would be possible to start categories for bridges by region in Portugal, cf. [[:Category:Bridges in England]] which is split by county, but there is as yet nothing similar by type within [[:Category:Buildings and structures in Portugal by region]]. (Portugal also doesn't yet have a national category within [[:Category:Transport buildings and structures by country]].) – [[User:Fayenatic london|Fayenatic]] [[User talk:Fayenatic london|'''<span style="color: #FF0000;">L</span>'''ondon]] 11:28, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
