Duplicate categories help

I was checking the geographical categories for Argentina, adding a few so the 24 provinces were complete, when I notices that a province is duplicated and I don't know how to fix that. The province is Entre Ríos, one entry only has some profiles attached (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Entre_Rios%2C_Argentina) and wrong data in the box, the other (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Entre_R%C3%ADos%2C_Argentina) has the right data, the same profiles and a few subcategories for main cities. Can somebody please help me to eliminate the duplicate?

If you look onto the yellow box in top of the two categories: They are the same, one in Spanish and one in English which are linked to oneanother.

In Germany there are also such double-categories for the regional categories to allow the non-German-speaking to enter … But on the detailed locaton level they are only in the language spoken there.

The confusion is from the CategoryInfoBox wich directs users to Buenos Aires (the city). I have made corrections.
Thanks, Steven, I still don't understand the need for 2 categories with the same name in the same level, since Argentine provinces don't have different names in other languages.

Technically they are different, but only slightly. The official names are:

  • English: Entre Ríos Province
  • Spanish: Provincia de Entre Ríos

These categories just omit the Province/Provincia wording - which would be a good question for the Latin America Project.
