i dont understand why all the "prefecture" appearing in "proper nouns" were not correctly capitalised as suggested by User:Miki59697270 on the talk page. you can search "prefecture" on https://www.soumu.go.jp/english/index.html (Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications) and all the results correctly capitalise the word when it's part of proper nouns. it's the same as state, province, department, etc., in other countries.

- the subcats were created before 2005. someone tried to rectify two of these Category:Mie Prefecture Category:Nagano Prefecture in 2019 but it was unsuccessful.
- there's no question they should be renamed. someone will have to do the job. RZuo (talk) 11:35, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
- https://www.jetro.go.jp/en/database/procurement/list/local.html see how they would capitalise prefecture or city.

- Support renaming all but I suggest you tag the individual prefecture categories to get more eyes on this discussion. I don't image there will be a lot of people watching the parent category. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 23:39, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
