Talk:Under-occupied developments in China

Categorization

Not something that's a big deal, or worth an 'argument' or anything (I'm not particularly 'involved' wih the issue) but while you (User:Fayenatic london) are completely correct that "categories often include lists alongside individual examples", my removal of the category was based on my 'quick impression' that 'lists of ghost towns' aren't 'normally' categorized like this, but instead in the 'lists of ghost towns' that are subcategories of 'ghost towns'.

This was an attempted application of the 'general rule' that pages should only be listed in the 'most specific' categories, and not 'parents'.

To be honest, my 'real' impression now, from looking at 'similar' categories and pages, it that the 'categorization tree' of 'ghost towns' is what actually needs work, to make the 'appropriate categories' clearer....they are not 'consistent' across the articles, and look more like the product of 'random growth' than actual 'deliberate categorization'...

This isn't my 'editorial interest' or somthing I'm going to specifically pursue, though....making sure that articles named 'list of....' are actually /assessed/ as list-class and assigned to "WikiProject Lists" is a sufficiently 'huge' task for the moment, lol.

For the record, the above is about Category:Ghost towns in Asia. Thanks, Revent, for adding Category:Lists of populated places in China alongside Category:Lists of ghost towns by country. The continent categories don't have sub-cats for lists of ghost towns, so it seems to me that this should be in "Ghost towns in Asia". Note that this list replaced category:Ghost towns in China which was emptied without discussion. – Fayenatic London 08:27, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

It is my 'future intent' to try to somewhat 'systematically' run though the lists of categories and try to identify 'outstanding issues' and get them discussed (and do lots of desperately needed cleanup, like categorizing set categories, tracking categories, diffusing categories, etc)....I'll probably 'revisit' this at some point in the (distant) future as part of that...

List of under-occupied developments in China → Under-occupied developments in China – This is not a simple list accompanying a larger primary parent article, this is the primary article, which also has a list section, that does not make up the bulk of the article.

• No objection. I may not have been thinking straight when I reverted the WP:BOLD move.[1] There are other lists, even siblings within Category:China geography-related lists, that do not have "list" in the article name. – Fayenatic London 20:02, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
• Support. Everywhere you go in China, you see modern, empty buildings and inactive sky cranes. It makes no sense to create a list of eight such complexes when there are thousands more that could be added. Nine Zulu queens (talk) 06:03, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
