Not a widely recognised country, and the category doesn't seem to serve much purpose. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 04:00, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
- Pretty real and bulky country. Recognition is irrelevant, as I have explained also with the example of Artsakh. Don’t exactly know why it must serve less purpose than say Category:pt:Moldova. Fay Freak (talk) 22:08, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
Kept. Although the category is really lame with just one entry, that's not an RFD issue. --ReloadtheMatrix (talk) 08:40, 20 December 2019 (UTC)- Struck that, as nobody has even made a proper vote and you didn't bother to remove the tag. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 07:56, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- Delete, un-useful topic. Across 6 languages, only one category has a member and it's the translation for Transnistria. Ultimateria (talk) 23:41, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
- @Bogdan: The question is then whether you can make aught useful from Category:ro:Transnistria. Someone in there would also do Category:ru:Transnistria. Something other than place-names, there must be specific political and legal terms?
- Place-names thus far are in Category:ro:Places in Moldova because you used region/Transnistria instead of c/Transnistria in
{{place}}on e.g. Tiraspol with the latter in Portuguese; in contrast Scotland of course gets its own categories as a “constituent country”, in spite of Transnistria being objectively more independent than Scotland. Should we have an option breakaway state in{{place}}? I support retiring the placetype country altogether and replacing it with state. Fay Freak (talk) 06:54, 7 November 2021 (UTC) - Keep.

- Delete: IMO it does not have enough recognition to justify categorization as a country, and there is so little in Category:pt:Moldova it is not worth subdividing it. — excarnateSojourner (talk · contrib) 20:18, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
- Kept, 4 years after originally keeping, with no new arguments and one vote each way. It is still a lame-ass category, though. P. Sovjunk (talk) 22:51, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
