Propose deleting the following two

Nominator's rationale: seems a bit much, catting by elementary school graduated from Mayumashu (talk) 22:20, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. Can we do anything about that one too? Mayumashu (talk) 17:50, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Mango

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 both to Category:Mangoes, leaving category redirects. -- Black Falcon (talk) 06:36, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Proposed merging Category:Mango to Category:Mangifera indica
Nominator's rationale: Most cultivated mangoes belong to the species Mangifera indica. Most (if not all) of this category's members should be categorized under Category:Mangifera indica, which would make this category redundant. Paul_012 (talk) 20:48, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Australian health organisations

[edit]
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. postdlf (talk) 03:07, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Australian health organisations to Category:Health organisations in Australia
Nominator's rationale: This one seems obvious - it's out of sync with all the other "by country" related categories and should be renamed for consistency, and the proposed name does not alter the scope of the category in any way. Orderinchaos 19:32, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:American stained glass artists and manufacturers, with no prejudice against another nomination to change the convention of the category tree from Fooian stained glass artists and manufacturers to Stained glass artists and manufacturers of Foo. -- Black Falcon (talk) 06:41, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Stained glass artists and manufacturers of the United States to Category:American stained glass artists and manufacturers
Nominator's rationale: Merge. To match the form of the other entries in Category:Stained glass artists and manufacturers. Vegaswikian (talk) 19:14, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
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:Jajouka. -- Black Falcon (talk) 06:44, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Joujouka to Category:Jajouka
Nominator's rationale: Confusing to relate, so please just see Jajouka (which is an article), Category:Jajouka (the parent of this category), and Joujouka (a dab page.) Simply put, there is too much overlap and the names are confusingly similar. Since they're tranlisterated from Arabic, there is every chance that they are actually identical anyway. —Justin (koavf)TCM04:55, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
They are the same indeed and it is a long story (see user:FayssalF/JK)! I'd suggest you contact user:Catalpa and user:BKLisenbee as they may have something to say. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 14:40, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:WCVB-TV (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete per WP:OC#SMALL, as a small category with no prospect of expansion. This is an eponymous category for WCVB-TV, a local TV station in Boston, Massachusetts. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 09:47, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete; speedy deletion criterion C1 (category empty for 4 or more days) also applies. -- Black Falcon (talk) 06:45, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Shivatemple Melakadambur (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. I can see no purpose in a category for a single temple unless it has a lot of related sub-articles which need to be grouped together, but in this case I cannot even find a head article Shiva temple Melmalayanur or Shivatemple Melmalayanur. This category was being used inappropriately as a parent category for the broader Category:Shiva temples, but I have just removed that.

Category:Bureaucrat hopefuls (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. AFAICS the only purpose of this category is a form of canvassing-in-advance. Apart from that I cannot see how it assists collaboration, which is the purpose of wikipedian categories. The category is populated by the userbox, Template:User wikipedia/Bureaucrat someday, and the question of whether to keep the userbox is outside the scope of CFD.

[edit]
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: DELETE. All articles are already otherwise appropriately categorized, so merging is unnecessary. postdlf (talk) 03:10, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Female philatelists to Category:Philatelists
Nominator's rationale: Merge. Per WP:CATGRS#Gender, "Categories should not be gendered unless the gender has a specific relation to the topic", and it seems to me to be a long stretch to argue that gender has a specific relation to philately. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 09:18, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I must admit I was unaware of the discussion on this subject four years ago as I have only been active since Oct 2008. In any case, this is not about country categories it is about the validity of a female one, but thanks for piling on ww2censor, nice. Maidonian (talk) 14:12, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Whether you agree with it or not, this is a perfectly valid discussion to have — and participating in it does not constitute "piling on". Bearcat (talk) 17:19, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ww2censor is an active participant in the Philately project, and was presumably alerted to this CFD discussion by the message which Maurreen posted at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Philately#Category:Female_philatelists. It's rather perverse to ask project members for comments, and then object when they do comment. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:23, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Social evil in Indian society to Category:Indian society
Nominator's rationale: Merge. Deciding whether or not an aspect of Indian society is a "social evil" is subjective and results in POV categorization. Good Ol’factory (talk) 07:03, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Swingin Utters albums to Category:Swingin' Utters albums

Category:Teenbeat Club (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. While the club is notable, it does not merit a category. I did remove the two groups that had populated the category since neither mention playing here. The article does a good job of linking to articles about what happened so deleting the category should not cause any problems. Vegaswikian (talk) 06:39, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Southern Border to Category:Southern Border (California)
Nominator's rationale: Rename. "Southern Border" would normally include the border areas outside of California, such as in Texas, especially considering debates on the war on drugs in the Texas-Mexico area, which refer to it as the southern border. 70.29.210.242 (talk) 04:44, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
