689:. I don't think it makes much sense for such a small territory to have two separate category schemes, especially when there was no consensus to rename the other pre-1871 categories to "District of Columbia". This category was created while that discussion was ongoing, and it's acting as a bit of a fork, really. 713:
If it happened in the current boundaries of Washington, D.C., I don't think it matters. Readers will most naturally be looking for such topics to be grouped together, not separately. As I said in the previous discussion, such a situation is really an "acceptable anachronism" and would probably cause

Oppose: Prior to 1871 Washington only covered part of DC and for that time frame the category should reflect such. It should not exist at all for 1789 but for that year any contents should be merged to the Maryland category. Events in Geogetown in 1789 no more happened in DC than events in Haifa in
734:
was in DC but not Washington DC before 1871, I think it can still properly stay in the category, because the place is now in Washington DC. I do not know the geography enough to know if this is a valid example, but the principle certainly applies. The alternative might be to have "1841 in DC"

The recent debate was built on the premise that all the events happened in Washington. I have identified many more events not happening in Washington, including multiple foundings of neighborhoods, the founding of a cemetery and so
42: 37: 686: 491:(who passed away 13 years ago, not recently), with no clue to what kind of a memorial the category refers to. The companies in question also seem to be covered by 308:
randomly reading the articles finds a mixture of given names and people. This means clean up by those who may be concerned with this, not delete
21: 623: 237: 98: 674: 265: 254: 627: 17: 157: 115: 291:, articles on names are acceptably categorized by language, bio's are not. The contents of this category are mish-mash of the two. 457: 465: 448: 770: 744: 731: 718: 708: 693: 650: 615: 543: 526: 507: 492: 439: 369: 351: 334: 317: 300: 281: 246: 169: 146: 107: 759: 522: 243: 165: 104: 790: 704: 670: 638: 593: 565: 539: 417: 389: 217: 189: 78: 296: 764: 740: 134: 133:, it has only one subcategory, and besides there is not a specific need for a history category since all of 119: 365: 277: 142: 786: 754: 589: 561: 518: 413: 385: 233: 213: 185: 161: 94: 74: 700: 666: 662: 646: 612: 535: 436: 641:
