It's not a good category name, because Annam may refer to Annam (Chinese province) or Annam (French protectorate). It is also a name of Vietnam (called by Chinese), however, since Vietnamese gain their independence, the name of Vietnam is Dai Co Viet, Dai Viet, Dai Nam..... not "Annam". In addition, many Vietnamese people don't like this word. So, I suggest that this category be merged into Category:Vietnam. El caballero de los Leones (talk) 12:31, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annam. Gryffindor (talk) 12:10, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with 唐吉訶德的侍從 that it's a bad category name. I also agree with Gryffindor that Category:Annam should be a disambiguation page, not a redirect. Recreate Category:French protectorate of Annam. Create Caegory:Annam (province). Link to both from the disambig page, as well as a link to Category:Vietnam. - Themightyquill (talk) 22:07, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Converted to disambiguation page. - Themightyquill (talk) 21:57, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
