To be deleted. Unique here (Category:PDF maps). All individual files should be copied to category:PDF maps and category:Maps of the history of Paris Estopedist1 (talk) 09:08, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
- This begs the question of whether Category:PDF maps is of value. If so, then it would seem that Category:PDF maps of the history of Paris has enough files (20 atm) to warrant a sub-cat, even if it is the only one currently created. My concern would be that maps will end up here and not elsewhere in the normal Category:Maps of the history of Paris, so users simply looking for good maps on the topic but not specifically PDF maps will miss these files.

- @Joshbaumgartner and Themightyquill: . Do we need PDF maps? The system is here: Category:Maps by file format (all subcategories to be deleted, except SVG maps)--Estopedist1 (talk) 07:22, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
- I lean toward thinking Category:PDF maps is worth keeping, though not necessarily sub-categorizing by location, etc.. PDF maps serve a different function in wikiprojects than jpg, png, gif or even SVG maps. If there's another way to describe that difference, rather than saying specifying PDF, I'm open to alternatives. - Themightyquill (talk) 12:45, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
- it is OK if we preserve only category:PDF maps until all PDF maps are converted to suitable format (eg SVG). But category:PDF maps of the history of Paris is redundant and should be upmerged and deleted--Estopedist1 (talk) 10:31, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
- this problem can be easily resolved when these Paris-related PDF files (20 files in total) will be converted to suitable file format.--Estopedist1 (talk) 09:19, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
