Propose merging Category:Nike JOGA3 teams to Category:Futsal competitions
Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary eponymous, single-entry category for a one-time competition organized by Nike. (Category creator notified using Template:Cfd-notify) -- Black Falcon (talk) 23:41, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:National futsal leagues. — ξxplicit 01:23, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:National Futsal League to Category:National futsal leagues or Category:Futsal leagues
Nominator's rationale: Per the convention of Category:National futsal club competitions or Category:Sports leagues. This is not a category for the National Futsal League, but rather a category which groups articles about the futsal leagues of different countries.

Propose renaming
Nominator's rationale: Per the main article, Luparense Calcio a 5, though I have to question the need for the eponymous category, which contains only one article and one subcategory. (Category creator notified using Template:Cfd-notify) -- Black Falcon (talk) 22:41, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Cars (film) and Category:Cars (film) characters. -- Black Falcon (talk) 04:27, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming:
Nominator's rationale: The first category, to match parent article, Cars (film). The second, to disambiguate. — ξxplicit 22:39, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was:  Relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2010 April 21. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 05:24, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Football (soccer) informal variants to Category:Association football variants
Nominator's rationale: Between them, these two categories contain only about 30 pages. There is good reason to have a separate category system for established/popular variants of association football such as indoor soccer, but this split between "variants" (presumably, "formal variants"?) and "informal variants" does not aid navigation and seems to be unnecessary.

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: Relisted, see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2010 April 22#Category:Privately owned Government companies in India. At the moment, there is a weak preference to err on the side of caution and merely rename the category. To help to clarify consensus, I will relist this discussion again and notify WikiProject India, whose members may be able to offer relevant information. -- Black Falcon (talk) 19:30, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Privately owned Government companies in India to Category:Government-owned companies in India
Nominator's rationale: The title of this category is oxymoronic: if a company is privately-owned, it's not a govt company. However the category does appear to be for state-owned enterprises, so I suggest merging to the existing Category:Government-owned companies in India.

The result of the discussion was: rename. — ξxplicit 01:23, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:People from Surabaya, East Java to Category:People from Surabaya
Nominator's rationale: To match main article and parent category. The "East Java" bit isn't needed as Surabaya, East Java redirects to Surabaya. Lugnuts (talk) 19:22, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Greater London (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Is it necessary ? This category, created some hours ago, includes by now casual articles reguarding London included with HotCat by its author. Looking at his contribs, i note a massive redundant double-categorisation using HotCat about arguments still included in their subcategories (ex: Belfast Airport is here, it is not necessary to categorize it here too).

The result of the discussion was: merge. — ξxplicit 01:23, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:All-Japan Grand Touring Car Championship drivers to Category:Super GT drivers
Nominator's rationale: I am proposing a merge as these two series are literally the same (organisation, rules, almost everything), only branding and an unsucessful attempt to internationalise the series that makes them appear different when nothing to suggests that they are. I don't personally know why there is a need for two different categories when one is necessary. Donnie Park (talk) 21:14, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Further comment: Having these two separate categories is like having a separate categories for the primary NASCAR series (Grand National, Winston Cup, Nextel Cup and Sprint Cup)...same series, same rules, different names. Donnie Park (talk) 14:34, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Political organizations based in Israel

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Political organizations in Israel, but I will note that this category was probably created for conformity with Category:Organizations based in Israel. No prejudice against a general nomination of the subcategories of Category:Political organizations by country to change in Foo to based in Foo. -- Black Falcon (talk) 04:30, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Political organizations based in Israel (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Category:Political organizations in Israel already exists, and is the usual format for the country subcategories of Category:Political organizations by country (although there are only eight countries in this category, why?), hence the category Category:Political organizations based in Israel is superfluous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hugo999 (talkcontribs) 08:42, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Lakes of the Pirin to Category:Lakes in Pirin (or Category:Lakes of Pirin)
Nominator's rationale: the reverse move was recently made. However, Pirin is a region, so doesn't have an article. I can't find any trace of a discussion of this move in the archives. Preslav (talk) 08:38, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:CIS Men's Soccer Championship to Category:Canadian Interuniversity Sport men's soccer championship
Nominator's rationale: Per the main article, Canadian Interuniversity Sport men's soccer championship. Initially, I wanted to rename the article to a capitalized form (i.e., "Men's Soccer Championship"), but the CIS website seems to support the lower-case form.

The result of the discussion was: Rename. Vegaswikian (talk) 02:07, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:People from Wanganui to Category:People from Whanganui
Nominator's rationale: Rename. The government of New Zealand recently announced that the place usually referred to as Wanganui could now correctly be referred to by that name or by the less-bastardised-Maori Whanganui. This has been controversial, and the article was moved to Whanganui a few months ago, and the matter continued to be debated at Talk:Whanganui until it petered out in January. I don't have a strong opinion on which WP should use—if I had to guess, I would say Wanganui is probably still the most common name. But I do think we should have the category name in this case match whatever the spelling of the article is, with a redirect on the other spelling. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:30, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Postpone. The executive powers of the Government of New Zealand do not include "telling Wikipedia how to name its articles". It would appear that our article on the place is at the wrong title, and that the form without the H is still the WP:COMMONNAME. There are two other related moves under discussion at the moment, so I would suggest awaiting the outcomes of those before deciding anything here. 81.111.114.131 (talk) 15:40, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
