Category:Vulgo names

See de:Vulgo, which defines Vulgo name as the name of the farmhouse opposed to the surname of the inhabitants. As vulgo is a name of something, it is difficult to collect photos thereof. The semantic of the category seems to be Objects also known by vulgo names, which is difficult to see and to verify. I propose to add corresponding information to the description and delete this category completely. BTW, as this category is defined for Carinthia only, it is not wide enough for the general concept of vulgo names. Herzi Pinki (talk) 08:52, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Vulgo is the ablative (third case singular) of the Latin noun vulgus, vulgi (i.e. people) and means "by the common people". A VULGO NAME is a name that is used by the people, generally linked to farms and granges. Related to the state of Carinthia, vulgo names are the commonly used ones in the country. The surnames of the owners stand second to the vulgo names. That topic has a significant importance in Carinthia. Johann Jaritz (talk) 10:55, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi Johann, I know, but I did not find a single photo of a vulgo name in that category. --Herzi Pinki (talk) 12:56, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

	Category:Vulgo names	Move to/Rename as	Category:Farmhouses in Austria by name

	Category:Vulgo names in Salzburg (state)	Move to/Rename as	Category:Farmhouses in Salzburg (state) by name

	@Herzi Pinki and Johann Jaritz: The parent category of the topic is Category:Farmhouses in Austria This is essentially a category of named vulgos/farmhouses, so it is proper to be organized as a 'by name' meta cat The category should be named using the "Topic by sort criteria" format; thus "Farmhouses in Austria by name"

I cannot support my arguments with such a nice box. IMHO a farmhouse is a farmhouse, some of them have names, some of them have vulgo names, some have names, but we don't know, and some might not even have names (just an address). Is it necessary, that the vulgo name is mentioned in the description? So in many cases evidence is difficult. As long as all farmhouses also are kept in the geographical Category:Farmhouses in Austria and subcats, I can live with a parallel 'by name' meta cat. But I will not spend any effort to maintain it. --Herzi Pinki (talk) 07:53, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

Just stumbled over this discussion and I agree that this category and its subcategories don't make sense. Please delete. --Reinhard Müller (talk) 22:00, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

@Herzi Pinki and Reinhard Müller: I would be fine with simply deleting and upmerging to the geographic categories for the farmhouses currently depicted in the Vulgo names tree, as opposed to the rename scheme above, would you both be okay with that so we can close this? Josh (talk) 07:55, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

Yes, I'm fine with deleting this category along with its subcats. thanks for caring. best --Herzi Pinki (talk) 08:24, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

I second that - both the agreement and the thank :-) --Reinhard Müller (talk) 08:52, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
