This discussion of one or several categories is now closed. Please do not make any edits to this archive.
"Cities" does not seem to reflect the content of this category, though the classification as a city is mostly subjective (relative), most included are either towns or even smaller settlements. Not sure whether moving this category, for instance to "Sunken settlements" or creating a new one is the best course of action. Savhñ 16:37, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
- Fair enough. It was probably just produced to mirror en:Category:Sunken cities, but wikipedia also has en:Category:Submerged places, en:Category:Submerged settlements in Ukraine. The parent category Category:Submerged remains also sounds funny to me... like a dead body at the bottom of a lake. Maybe Category:Submerged places would be best, as a sub-category of Category:Abandoned places? And while it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, Category:Sunken populated places (or Category:Submerged populated places?) would match the category tree at Category:Formerly populated places. We do have Category:Sunken populated places in Ukraine already. - Themightyquill (talk) 21:31, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
- i think submerged is a better word than sunken. many settlements have been flooded and therefore submerged but not sunken, due to construction of dams, for example.--RZuo (talk) 00:47, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
- This wikidata item is using, right know, as English label: "flooded village". Of course, this label may change. For the sake of mentioning additional options... I have no opinion at all, since English native speakers would be more prepared to select the best word (city, town, place, populated place, village,...). Strakhov (talk) 18:37, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- Enwiki still has en:Sunken cities with hatnote "Category for underwater cities and other populated places". I guess we should follow enwiki Estopedist1 (talk) 21:20, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

Submerged populated places has been created per consensus, and Submerged cities (moved from Sunken cities) has been retained as its subcat. --Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 10:41, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
