Completely redundant. There already exists the better category:Wallonia. This case is 100% identical to Commons:Deletion requests/Category:Flemish Region --Teeceematiek 11:39, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
I hereby protest formally against the procedure, especially as this cat has already been deleted because it was not useful. While all moderators will agree that one introduces only new cats and structures if there is a minimal consensus, and that the action of Juiced lemon was not a proper way of working, we are obliged again and again to argue the same arguments over and over again just to ensure that the damage is limited. If this cat has been introduced in a wrong way, then it should be deleted till a discussion proves that there is a need for such category. We don't need occupational therapy. --Foroa 18:26, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
Keep There are 3 regions in Belgium, and 3 matching articles in the English Wikipedia, including Walloon Region. The deletion of Category:Brussels-Capital Region have not been requested, therefore the sentence: This case is 100% identical to Commons:Deletion requests/Category:Flemish Region is a pointless statement. Notice also that there are 2 linguistic communities in the Walloon Region, and only one in the Flemish Region.
- The reasons to keep this category:
- the statement that “Wallonia” is a better (in particular, clearer) name than “Walloon Region” is unsourced. Wallonia is also an alternative name for the French Community.
- assuming that the Commons community would prefer “Wallonia” for “by location” categorization, this category could still be used to classify media files regarding to the government of the region (see Politics of the Walloon Region).
- assuming this category remain without contents, it is better to make it a redirect, since users can logically search a Commons page according to the name of the English Wikipedia article Walloon Region. --Juiced lemon 15:34, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
Delete - and agree with Foroa !. So much work to do on commons, so much time lost with the actions of a single user. I always thought commons was a "community" project, not a one man show :-( --LimoWreck 18:32, 1 August 2007 (UTC)- Delete -- Lycaon 20:40, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

- Delete Categories serve to facilitate and navigate easily towards a number of data structures. If you need to study and understand the whole Belgian political organisation to find your way to a small village, only experts will find their way. Category redirects don't aggregate and should be avoided, so all needed galleries with potential pointers or redirects will be created for the rare experts in Belgian politics (such as Walloon Region). This might be expanded upon or changed if we have categories which belongs to the region at hand. --Foroa 06:15, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

- Keep The term "Wallonia" is very vague and can be undestand at different level. So even is the category is well define category:Flanders I prefer Category:Walloon Region. Romary 14:55, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
