Hi, I saw your edit to Vernon, Nevada, where you removed the Commons category template that linked to Tunnel Camp, Nevada. I'm the editor that redirected Tunnel Camp, Nevada to Vernon because Tunnel Camp was not particularly notable. Tunnel Camp and Vernon are located quite close to each other. It would be great if the Vernon page had a link to the Tunnel Camp Commons images. What are your thoughts? 21:43, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

@Cxbrx: I've looked again at this. Personally I think it would have been better to keep two separate articles here, given that they seem to be distinct settlements. However, there are also other images from the area that are available on Commons, so I've started commons:Category:Vernon, Nevada and linked to that from the article, with the Tunnel Camp category as a subcategory. Probably more images can also be added to the new category, see [1] (the blue dots are photos). Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 21:59, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What happened about the poll you were going to take on this matter Mike? Philafrenzy (talk) 22:01, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Philafrenzy: The discussion with @Evrik: at User_talk:Mike_Peel/Archive_56#Commons_templates_in_EL_are_"misplaced"? petered out and was archived. I'm happy to co-author a poll, but I'm not going to start one on my own. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 22:07, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I like the idea of hashing this out. --evrik ^(talk) 22:09, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Evrik: Perhaps you could start a draft proposal? Or I'm happy to chat about this by Zoom/Skype etc. at some point if that would help. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 22:20, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mike Peel: Adding the Vernon Commons category seems reasonable to me. Tunnel Camp was at best a mining camp, see Talk:Tunnel Camp, Nevada. Recently I've been participating in the AfDs in Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Geography and I don't feel that Tunnel Camp as a geographic location nor as a mine would pass. See the last version of Tunnel Camp before the redirect. Cxbrx (talk) 17:26, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• This disappeared off my watchlist ... in any case, please remind me under what authority are you removing all these templates? --evrik ^(talk) 00:15, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The past discussion is at User talk:Mike Peel/Archive 56. I am only removing some templates in cases where the commons link does not match the category/article. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 08:34, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As we established, policy, such as it is, merely states the link has to be useful. It doesn't have to use the exact same words, making some of your removals just plain wrong. Philafrenzy (talk) 12:11, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In the cases I've removed the link I didn't think the link was useful. I'm happy to discuss examples if you want. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 12:16, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm removing some more this evening. If you object to them, please give an example and a reason why it is useful. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 21:52, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Remind me the policy that you do this under? --evrik ^(talk) 22:36, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BOLD, remind me why you think that the links I'm removing are useful? Examples, please. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 22:38, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Berkshire from the Berkshire Record Society. Salisbury from MPs for Salisbury. In what sense are these "misplaced"? Philafrenzy (talk) 22:56, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Philafrenzy: The Commons categories don't seem to contain *any* content related to those articles. Or am I missing something? Mike Peel (talk) 22:57, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Commons:Category:Berkshire should really have been, Commons:Category:History of Berkshire. Your edits are not productive. --evrik ^(talk) 03:09, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I started a discussion about the removal of the {{commonscat}} links from scores, maybe hundreds of articles. It can be found here: Category talk:Commons category Wikidata tracking categories. --evrik ^(talk) 03:44, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
