Category talk:European French

RFDO discussion: August 2013–July 2014
This category seems like nonsense if you consider that France alone spans four continents by itself. It's mostly used in baseball terms to contrast with Category:Quebec French and spectacularly manages to completely ignore the French colonies in Africa (Reunion, Mayotte etc.), America (Saint Pierre et Miquelon and a few Caribbean islands) and Oceania (French Polynesia etc.). -- Liliana • 23:08, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
 * French Wiktionary has this category too, and I'm sure they know quite a bit about their language. Are you contending that there are no French terms that are used primarily in Europe? 23:13, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Well it does suggest that French speakers living eg. in Reunion don't use these terms because Reunion isn't located in Europe, which I don't think is true. -- Liliana • 23:18, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Maybe the issue is the entries in the category then, and not the category itself. And we could always use it as a holder for different varieties of French in Europe, like we do with Dutch as well. 23:22, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm not really a fan of that kind of categorization because it clutters the regionalism category tree. -- Liliana • 23:34, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Kept. If you want to switch around what's in it, that's always a possibility; but there's certainly no agreement here to delete. &#x200b;—msh210℠ (talk) 16:05, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
