[Commons-l] Category renaming (was: Anglo-Saxonisation of the commons)

In the recent days I noticed an increase in conflicts about category 
renaming. Two cases: Category:Churches_in_Italy (and others) and 
Category:Cities_and_villages_by_country

I think we would benefit from a formalized system for category 
renamings. The damage is enormous if a well working category tree gets 
destroyed or damaged. Currently all places worldwide are categorized as 
cities independent of their size!

An idea could be that there must be a deletion request for the category 
to be moved. What do you think of this?

Regards

Robin
