Category talk:Languages of New Mexico

Category:Languages of New Mexico
Not a sovereign country either, and sets a very bad precedent (we don't want categories for all of the fifty states of the US) -- Prince Kassad 13:54, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, and more generally get some better rules. You could extend that to Category:Languages of Greater London or Category:Languages of Picardie, just to pick two random examples from various countries. I'm not even sure who reads categories like languages of Spain. Mglovesfun (talk) 18:05, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
 * This is exactly why I started Language categories - I want to get the ball rolling on some rules and guidelines. -- Prince Kassad 19:57, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think we want categories for all 50 states, but I wouldn’t have a problem with Category:Languages of Alaska or Category:Languages of Hawaii, which have significant differences from the country in general. —Robin 14:24, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
 * In some cases it's justified, for example if one part of a country is physically separate from the other and therefore linguistically divergent. Alaska may be a bad example, but Hawaii is excellent, as is Category:Languages of Guam. But New Mexico is not among the states we want a category for, it's a state like any other. -- Prince Kassad 13:15, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Deleted per consensus. For the record, it only had three subcategories: Category:Picuris language, Category:Southern Tiwa language and Category:Taos language. --Daniel. 14:41, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
