RFM discussion: July–October 2020
This is one and the same thing like swine and pork (the Germanic and the Romance word, with no distinction maintained or maintainable) and needs admin attention/merges/deletions. . Also the translation tables of and  with. Fay Freak (talk) 00:59, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Merge into Category:Columbids. —Mahāgaja · talk 06:46, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge into Category:Doves and Pigeons. Or Pigeons and Doves.  Vox Sciurorum (talk) 12:07, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge. We have a consensus: 7 people, including me and User:Bezimenen. What it should be called? I'm thinking Category:Columbids, as we have several similarly-named categories already, e.g. Category:Anatids, Category:Falconids, Category:Rallids, Category:Corvids, Category:Cardinalids, Category:Icterids, Category:Emberizids, Category:Mimids, Category:Muscicapids, and Category:Scolopacids‎ as well as somewhat similar names like Category:Ratites, Category:Gruiforms, Category:Coraciiforms‎ etc. while the only categories similar to Category:Doves and pigeons (note, lowercase "pigeons") that I could find are Category:Ibises and spoonbills, Category:Pipits and wagtails and Category:Plovers and lapwings.

 * I'm OK with Category:Columbids, if that's what we've been doing with other categories. Andrew Sheedy (talk) 04:38, 9 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Isn't the pigeons category intended to reflect the breeds of domesticated doves? The categories would be as different as dog/cat/cattle breeds and canid/felid/bovid vernacular names. I could see making the domesticated breed-name categories subcategories of the appropriate vernacular-name-of-taxon categories. Of course it is not always known whether one or more hybrid species are the appropriate parents. DCDuring (talk) 13:35, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
 * The Pigeons category is not used for domesticated birds. If we want such a category name it Domestic Pigeons to be clear.  Vox Sciurorum (talk) 13:39, 9 October 2020 (UTC)


 * I too would support a merge into "Columbids" on the grounds that that fits our existing categorization/naming scheme. Btw: is the current en:Pigeons meant to contain "go the way of the dodo bird", "go the way of the dodo" (which it currently does), or only names of pigeons? - -sche (discuss) 00:34, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
