This is now replaced by:
c:Category:Sanborn Fire Insurance Map from Norwich, New London County, Connecticut, 1885
to achieve uniformity between filenames and categories. SanbornMapBot (talk) 19:16, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
OK. In the future, when you want to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category, best practice is to mark it with {{SD|C2}} if it would be OK to re-create it in the future, given that appropriate content becomes available or {{SD|C1}} if it is an inappropriate category name that should not be reused. - Jmabel ! talk 20:45, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
what will happen to the categories that are now blanked? SanbornMapBot (talk) 20:57, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I'll delete them, of course (with the C2 justification) but if you had marked them with {{SD}} this would have saved time by having an admin know that this was a deliberate decision, not some sort of error, and they'd have long since been deleted by now. - Jmabel ! talk 21:26, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Category:1896 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map from Greenville, Washington County, Mississippi was blanked but is not empty. - Jmabel ! talk 21:41, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
It was put in the wrong category by the uploader (1896 instead of 1890). I only looked for the exact date.
I will add some code to generate a warning for it to the script.
Was this a random find or do you have a list of categories where this happened? SanbornMapBot (talk) 22:22, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I was going through parentless categories with the intent of fixing them. See Commons:Village pump#Special:UncategorizedCategories. - Jmabel ! talk 05:21, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
