Suggest moving to Category:Java (island) and moving Category:Java (disambiguation) here. I have cleared out several images for the programming language today and a few years ago and many of the non English sites such as De, Fr, Da, Es and Nl have "Java" as a DAB and have the island at a qualified title.

- Support. This would be clearer. --Auntof6 (talk) 12:22, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- move the whole cat tree to Category:Java Island.--RZuo (talk) 11:45, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
- Is it called "Java Island" often enough rather than just "Java" for natural disambiguation? Crouch, Swale (talk) 11:46, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
- it's definitely not called Java (island) with those brackets in real life. why not make it simpler, neater and more natural? RZuo (talk) 20:39, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

- Strong reject
- :groan: not this again... This has been discussed numerous time in w:Talk:Java and w:Talk:Java (disambiguation). I'm from Java, I speak Javanese, I write in Javanese script, I also know how to code in Java programming language, and Javascript.
