Please tell me why you've done this. We don't do it for every,or even many, buildings. If this has come from Wikidata, it makes no sense there, because it makes no sense here. It's contentious so requires a CfD. Please justify or revert yourself, or I will do so Rodhullandemu (talk) 14:11, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Rodhullandemu: I see such a category as useful and also in this case. In addition, I see your processing as more controversial because you did not conduct a CfD, at least there is no link to the category from any discussion. However, two other redirect categories linked or still linked to this category, which then became re-redirect categories, which shows that your editing was not thought through. You are still welcome to provide a CfD. --Gymnicus (talk) 14:26, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
- Do I really come across to you people as some sort of fuckwit with an IQ of 18 rather than 180? I did what I did because with 13 years of experience here, it was the logical, sensible and therefore correct thing to do. It had already been screwed up by another editor without a CfD, so it didn't need one to fix it, and doesn't now. I shall have a cup of tea, then revert your erroneous edits.

- @Rodhullandemu: I wouldn't advise you to do that. Go the regular way of the CfD or leave it. --Gymnicus (talk) 14:42, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
- Don't threaten me. We do occasionally follow Wikipedia here, even though it's usually unhelpful. So per en:WP:BRD, despite being unaware of the history, you were BOLD and moved all that stuff to make it fit with Wikidata. I shall REVERT to the previous version, then if you wish, you may DISCUSS by means of opening a CfD yourself, in particular addressing why we don't do this for churches but should do it for sports stadia. Thanks. Rodhullandemu (talk) 14:55, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Rodhullandemu: You want to remove a category or make the category for forwarding, which has existed under different names for seven years and does not bother anyone. That is why I see them as having the task of setting up the CfD, as they want to change this proven state. --Gymnicus (talk) 15:12, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

"Under different names". That's the whole point. We can't have people just coming along and selfishly changing things to their own preferences because they think it's a good idea. It makes the whole idea of categorisation unstable, which it should not be. Rodhullandemu (talk) 16:31, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
- Done. Wikidata item is deleted. Start a CfD if you like. Rodhullandemu (talk) 16:36, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
