Category:Hua Guofeng era

2409:8A3C:1C2E:A700:E19C:88A4:C015:B124 (talk · contribs) started a series of "xx era". this is not a good use of commons category tree and all should be deleted, because:

1. such "eras" are not precisely defined.
2. to group "categories of a place in a certain period" together as a certain person's era is simply overemphasising one person.
3. there're tens of thousands of celebrities or historical figures. are we gonna create similarly ill-defined categories for these people's eras? obama era? marilyn monroe era? shinzo abe era? putin era?
4. they simply mess up the cat tree by introducing weird loops from person to period to everything in a country in that period, leading to overly broad cat trees under these persons' categories. RZuo (talk) 10:44, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
