Category:Missing person cases in Afghanistan to Category:Missing-person cases in Afghanistan – C2A: Missing hyphen for compound modifier; this is about cases of missing persons, not person cases that are missing. HandsomeFella (talk) 21:39, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, per MOS:HYPHEN's linked note English compound § Hyphenated compound modifiers: Major style guides advise consulting a dictionary to determine whether a compound modifier should be hyphenated. Terms like "missing person case", "missing person report" are commonly understood and not ambiguous when unhyphenated [1][2][3] Hyphenation Expert (talk) 01:45, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The term "person case" is rare. I have never heard the term and I don't know what a "person case" would be. So "missing person case" is practically unambiguous. Nurg (talk) 23:22, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Missing person cases by century to Category:Missing-person cases by century – C2A: Missing hyphen for compound modifier; this is about cases of missing persons, not person cases that are missing. Many more categories, but putting these here to start with. HandsomeFella (talk) 09:01, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Knowing that there were a lot of subcategories, I started with these four and waited almost 24 hours for objections before preceding with the rest. Thank you for waiting to object until I had marked all 196, apparently in vain. HandsomeFella (talk) 07:51, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@HandsomeFella: It looks like these are not going to be processed, if you need help with removing templates or amending them 9e.g. CFD) pls let me know. Ymblanter (talk) 18:07, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Ymblanter: I think you'd better go ahead with removing the templates, this is too much to remove manually. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:01, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it looks indeed like these will not be taken for the full CfD. I will start removing these soon. Ymblanter (talk) 10:00, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Split to Missing children by nationality[edit]

It was agreed at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 August 31#Category:Missing person cases by country to split this to Category:Missing children by nationality.

As Category:Missing children already had nationality sub-cats, I simply created a "by nationality" intermediate category there, and renamed this one to "by country of disappearance".

@Nederlandse Leeuw: I have not reviewed any of the contents. Your nomination implied that new sub-cats or recategorisation by nationality is needed. Please go ahead with that work manually. – Fayenatic London 08:25, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
