Nominator's rationale: Overcategorization. This category will never be well populated since there are only 1,200 living Tolowa people and only one of them has a Wikipedia article. Category:Tolowa is completely adequate for articles pertaining to this tribe. Uyvsdi (talk) 18:51, 9 September 2012 (UTC)Uyvsdi[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Merge and merge the subcategories appropriately. We already maintain Category:Casinos by year of establishment (and subcategories) which is confusingly similar and most casinos would end up being categorized in the same year in both schemes. (In the sense that, say, Eldorado Hotel Casino would appear in both Category:Casinos completed in 1973 and Category:Casinos established in 1973). Upmerging the "by year of completion" scheme also allows for more flexibility because not all casinos occupy buildings that were initially built as casinos.

I would stick with the "by year of establishment" format. It's understood as a synonym for "year of opening" and it's really the standard for this type of category, for instance the similar Category:Shopping malls by year of establishment and Category:Event venues by year of establishment. Pichpich (talk) 18:02, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
(Initial note: the categories were started by Vegaswikian and it would be nice to have his input on that but I just noticed that he's on a short wikibreak and that it might be courteous to extend this CfD accordingly) Now to answer that question, casinos are a bit tricky to categorize in the existing "established in" [1] because they're not necessarily "event venues" (which would be the least bad choice imo). Similarly I'm not sure there's a good place to put casinos among the existing Category:Buildings and structures by year of completion. Pichpich (talk) 04:00, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If you dig down through Category:Casinos by country or List of casinos the answer is yes. This is a new tree that is not being populated while this discussion is underway. Vegaswikian (talk) 00:04, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: speedily deleted per G5. Salvio Let's talk about it! 14:01, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Created by block evading sock/troll, possibly linked to banned user as well. Regardless, do we need this? I can't think of the encyclopedic value of a category of people or articles that are related to having a single testical, but I can see a BLP nightmare in trying to maintain such.

The result of the discussion was: upmerge Category:Forced suicides by nationality to parent category, keep Category:Forced suicides of Chinese people. — ξxplicit 02:21, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I don't think that sorting out 15 Chinese entries from the parent category of 28 articles is really required. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 12:56, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Black metal albums by genre

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Black metal albums. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:52, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Upmerge--sub-subgenres don't need to be further categorized. There is no need to diffuse Category:Black metal albums. Alternately, if we do decide to do this, it needs to be applied to several dozen such genres--not just one sub-sub-genre. —Justin (koavf)TCM 09:50, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Black metal albums. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:46, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Upmerge--this breaks the entire tree of albums by artist and albums by genre. —Justin (koavf)TCM 09:48, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose renaming Category:Finno-Ugric world to Category:Finno-Ugric-speaking countries and territories
Nominator's rationale: Rename. I think the best way to deal with this category is to make it a subcategory of Category:Countries by language per Finno-Ugric peoples which states "The Finno-Ugric peoples are any of several peoples of Europe who speak languages of the Finno-Ugric language family, such as the Finns, Estonians, Mordvins, and Hungarians".

The result of the discussion was:  Relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2012 October 22#Category:All articles covered by WikiProject Wikify. — ξxplicit 02:21, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Filing this as deletion, but I don't really want to delete this category. Rather, I'm suggesting moving this to where all other WikiProject categories reside, the talk page. Why this one WikiProject's category should be on the articles themselves is quite beyond me. Courcelles 02:32, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The problem here is the ambiguity of the term "wikify". As noted above, the category in question is a superset of Category:Articles that need to be wikified; the category in question also includes categories like Category:Articles with too many wikilinks and so on. "Wikify" should only refer to one definition; it should either mean "needs more links" or "needs layout/formatting cleanup". I suggest a new term be designated for either one definition or the other. Or, perhaps, the entirety of the category in question could be merged with Category:All pages needing cleanup? Guoguo12 (Talk)  15:44, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
