Category:San Francisco County, California

Redundant with Category:San Francisco, as San Francisco is a consolidated city-county, therefore, they have the same territory and a unified government. There is nothing that would be placed in one category that would not also be proper to place in the other. Gentgeen 21:10, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

• I don't have a substantive keep/kill opinion, but if the consensus is to delete, I think this category should be kept as a "redirecting category," since all the other entries in the parent category, Category:California counties take the form, "[Name] County, California", and the category entry "San Francisco" without the county denomination my be confusing to those who only know it as a city and so may think the entry misplaced. --Gary D 21:19, Dec 22, 2004 (UTC)
  • As San Francisco is the only consolidated city-county in California, it is fitting that its entry be somewhat unique. I would hope that anyone who saw the "different" subcategory would click on it to find out why it's different before simply thinking it's wrong. Gentgeen 19:56, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. (or redirect) Category:San Francisco can handle it, though it looks a little odd on the supercategory of California counties. A redirect might be useful, because an editor might expect it to be there when categorizing an article based on convention. -Willmcw 01:56, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
