  • Propose renaming Category:California people in food and agriculture occupations to Category:People from California in food and agriculture occupations
  • Propose renaming Category:California people in health professions to Category:People from California in health professions

The result of the discussion was: delete. All are in Category:American dancers.--Mike Selinker (talk) 12:21, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The current name is exceedingly awkward, and implies "dance occupations from California", not "people form California whose occupations are sorted under Category:Dance occupations. The proposed name is an admittedly somewhat broader brush but avoids the ambiguity and awkwardness, while following the "Foo from Bar" standard used for this sort of category.

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Architects from Ponce, Puerto Rico.--Mike Selinker (talk) 12:21, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT; ambiguous with similary-named but differently-defined Category:Architects of Ponce, Puerto Rico, unneeded breakout. Articles are already in Category:People from Ponce, Puerto Rico so no double upmerge needed. The Bushranger One ping only 22:27, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Of course architects is broad enough to categorize them by city. However, you are now proposing that Architects from Ponce and Architects of Ponce be merged. But that is like proposing that Category:Architects from Washington, D.C. and Category:Architects of the Capitol be merged. It doesn't work that way: whereas one cat addresses a characteristic of the specialty of the profession (architectural style), the other cat addresses a characteristic of the architect (birth place). As such the two cats are legitimate. And even more so, now that Category:Architects of Ponce, Puerto Rico is under nomination by another nominator to be re-categorized as a subcategory of Category:Architects by style (go HERE and enter your opinion). In the meanwhile, I suggest you make you "New Vote" clear, for what you are now saying is that you, too, oppose the nomination to upmerge Category:Architects from Ponce to Category:Puerto Rican architects.

The result of the discussion was: merge. -- Black Falcon (talk) 20:00, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT. These categories have a very low population, as do the cities they represent, and are best merged into the applicable county category. The Bushranger One ping only 21:52, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Germanic neopagan organisations. The Bushranger One ping only 02:41, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Only parent is Category:Germanic neopaganism. The term heathen is ambiguous, cf. Norwegian Heathen Society which is an anti-religious group. Alternatively, the spelling could be organisations. __meco (talk) 19:46, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: upmerge to Category:People from Zaporizhia Oblast. If there are more articles found or created which could justify this category, it can be recreated.--Mike Selinker (talk) 12:25, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nominator....William 15:48, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The problem with the proposed target is that it could be misinterpreted to be about use/management of the devices. e.g. Regulation of an anaesthetic machine would be about regulating the appropriate mixture of medical gases. A possible alternative is Category:Medical device law. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 08:07, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Apparently I created this category. I am Ok/indifferent with Eastlav's proposal; Beeswaxcandle, I work in this field and can assure you that the term "regulations" is preferred, in this context, over the word "law". --MarmotteiNoZ 01:07, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
