The subcategories here are for individual days, which is more detail than needed. Many of the subcategories have only a few entries, some as few as one. I think categories by month and year would be enough to cover what there is here. Auntof6 (talk) 18:17, 8 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

 Support I don't think upmerging any of these to "Switzerland by month/year" would produce unreasonably sized categories. Naturally, the images can all be categorized by date (alone) separately. - Themightyquill (talk) 11:10, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

•  Support: I think these categories are excessive. Commons:Structured data is supposed to make intersection categories go away some day, but it's not known yet if it will succeed. It's not likely that anything can be done about it in the meantime, since these discussions are unlikely to reach a consensus and there's nothing to stop people creating the categories. Of course there's no obligation for anybody who dislikes the categories to maintain them in any way: they are easily ignored. There's some earlier discussion at Commons:Categories for discussion/2013/06/Category:16th April 2012 in Switzerland. --ghouston (talk) 05:50, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• There's a proposal to delete all such categories at Commons:Village_pump/Proposals#Emptying_.22Category:.7B.7BCountry.7D.7D_photographs_taken_on_.7B.7Bdate.7D.7D.22_categories_into_.22Category:Photographs_taken_on_.7B.7Bdate.7D.7D.22. --ghouston (talk) 23:44, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note:that proposal was archived. It can be seen at Commons:Village_pump/Proposals/Archive/2017/02#Emptying "Category: photographs taken on " categories into "Category:Photographs taken on ". --Auntof6 (talk) 09:48, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Yeah, it ended with no consensus, so I suppose this one should also be closed as no consensus (as is usual for discussions about this type of category). --ghouston (talk) 07:38, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I just noticed that there are duplicate categories: Category:Photographs of Switzerland by date and Category:Switzerland by day. Maybe somebody who likes these categories can merge one into the other? --ghouston (talk) 08:56, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Photographs of Switzerland by date should suffice, you don't see a Category:United States by day. Any country with a "Photographs of (country name) by date" category should not also have a "(country name) by day" category. --Mjrmtg (talk) 01:08, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Except that use of the "Photographs of" verbiage should be minimized, used only for cases where the subcats are things like "Aerial photographs of", "Black and white photographs of", etc. That's not the case here. --Auntof6 (talk) 01:51, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

•  Support I think upmerging photos in this with "Switzerland by month/year" is good enough. Abzeronow (talk) 22:18, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose. I think we should discuss these individually or better yet, make a hard-line rule like "you need at least 3 items in a category of these types or just put them into the two parent ones." I would rather we have a larger proposal regarding categorization and then make the categories follow that. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 07:38, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• In retrospect, delete as we have photographs organized by individual date. This seems too granular in retrospect. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 08:20, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Delete parent Category:Places by day is poorly developed. Category:Countries by day is missing, at all. Category:Countries by month by year does the job, Category:Switzerland by month by year to be created--Estopedist1 (talk) 18:46, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Who knew this would remain open for five years. Evrik (talk) 23:25, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• About what I expected at 07:38, 5 July 2017. Also no surprise to me that nobody has been able to merge the two Switzerland by day/date categories. --ghouston (talk) 02:25, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
