The result of the discussion was: keep.--Mike Selinker (talk) 23:11, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Sculptures in Italy to Category:Italian sculpture
Nominator's rationale: Merge. Technical nomination. Found doing cleanup as an apparent incomplete nomination. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:10, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I have not seen that there is a parent cat. Category:Sculpture by region (Italy is not a region) before I created the cat. Now we have indeed two categories for the same topic. I would suggest to delete/merge to Category:Italian sculpture (redir.?) because categories in the English language Wikipedia edition should be plural. --Scriberius (talk) 04:06, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No: "sculpture" is for general articles, "sculptures" for individual ones. Johnbod (talk) 18:27, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Monocrystals to Category:Crystals
Nominator's rationale: Merge. I was able to find another article for this category but I still think it will qualify under OC small. With a single parent, up merging seems like a logical option. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:00, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Grammar, possibly speedy. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:27, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Wow. I didn't even look at the articles themselves. List of objects used in the Batman film series? Yeesh. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:55, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Warner Bros. Batman films

The result of the discussion was: merge. — ξxplicit 00:38, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Warner Bros. Batman films to Category:Batman films
Nominator's rationale: Overcategorization. There is only non-Warners studio film (with a couple of serials), so these can be safely upmerged. And since DC is owned by Warners, it's highly unlikely that any other studio will be producing Batman films. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:27, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Pop soul musicians

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: rename. I'll review the contents afterward to remove any musicians who don't fit the term blue-eyed soul. — ξxplicit 21:57, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Pop soul musicians to Category:Blue-eyed soul musicians
Nominator's rationale: Merge. Pop soul redirects to Blue-eyed soul so the name of the category should match the parent. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 19:17, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Right. It appears the person who created the category (who has since been blocked indefinitely) was trying to create a modernized definition of the term, "pop soul". I am not against deletion of the category, but I think the category could exist with a "blue-eyed soul" definition with properly categorized articles. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 19:40, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. — ξxplicit 00:38, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Hillsong albums to Category:Hillsong Music albums
Nominator's rationale: This ambiguous name has resulted in albums from the Hillsong Church that were released on different labels (e.g. I Believe the Promise) categorized here. This needs to be split between the label Hillsong Music and the Hillsong Church as the artist. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 18:29, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename Category:Port settlements in Oregon to Category:Port cities in Oregon and Category:Port settlements in Florida to Category:Port cities in Florida only. — ξxplicit 21:57, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Port settlements in Ontario to Category:Port cities and towns in Ontario
Propose renaming Category:Port settlements in Quebec to Category:Port cities and towns in Quebec
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Before the Great Populated Places Migration of 2010, this ports nomination didn't gain any consensus on a plan. Now that "settlements" has been mostly eliminated from the category tree, and the structure "cities and towns" has been endorsed as a valid one, it seems logical to move the "Port settlements" categories to "Port cities and towns". If this passes, then it's possible we might even want to move all "Port cities" categories to "Port cities and towns" categories to be more inclusive. But that's another nomination, maybe. For now, this simple change seems a positive one.--Mike Selinker (talk) 18:00, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Insolvency law to Category:Insolvency
Propose renaming Category:Insolvency and corporate recovery law firms to Category:Insolvency and corporate recovery firms
Nominator's rationale: Simpler title for first category, matching lead article.
Second category name should reflect inclusion of other specialist insolvency firms e.g. accountants. Category should be de-populated of general large firms. Perhaps Category:Insolvency and corporate recovery specialist firms or just Category:Insolvency specialist firms would be clearer, to avoid the Big Four auditors etc being added? - Fayenatic (talk) 18:00, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:Companies operating in Nagorno-Karabakh (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Propose merging Category:Companies based in Nagorno-Karabakh to Category:Companies of Nagorno-Karabakh
Nominator's rationale: Merge 'based in' category to the standard form of the 'companies of' category tree. It is overcategorization to categorize companies by where they operate, so delete the 'operating in' category. (No articles will be left uncategorized).

Category:Historical characters in Wuxia fiction (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Overcategorization, irrelevant to the listed subjects. Most of those people have been used as characters in hundreds if not thousands of fictional works, which makes the relation unsuitable for categories. Also compare a recently deleted analog case. --Latebird (talk) 07:27, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Solar energy companies of the United States and further differentiate as needed.. This may not be the perfect category for some contents, so other categories may need to be created.--Mike Selinker (talk) 03:47, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Solar electricity companies of the United States (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Seeing the name, one would assume that this is a useful category about companies producing solar electricity. Well, that is not what this is being used for. It is for companies that produce items that can be used by others to build systems that can be used to generate electricity from solar. Better to delete and start over.
