Nominator's rationale: The PD Canada category was made in 2014 while the Canadian public domain photographs category was made in 2005. As both categories refer to photos that are in the public domain for Canada, I think the files in the PD Canada category should be redirected to Canadian public domain photographs instead. The PD Canada category could become a redirect too as I see similar names at Category:Public domain images by country like PD Syria‎. MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 00:53, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: I'm not sure about this category. The two subcategories are in Category:Public domain images by country. On Commons, there is Commons:Category:PD-New Zealand and Commons:Category:PD-South Korea for PD images that originated in those countries. If this category is for works that are public domain only in their source country and not in the United States, there's Category:PD-NZ images with URAA-restored copyright‎ and Category:PD-South Korea images with URAA-restored copyright‎ on English Wikipedia. The URAA categories flag images that cannot be moved as they need to be PD in both the source country and United States on Commons. Therefore, I'm not certain why only New Zealand and South Korea images are in this category. MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 01:21, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
