• Propose merging Category:Proposed solar power stations in South Australia to Category:Solar power stations in South Australia and Category:Proposed solar power stations in Australia
• Propose merging Category:Proposed solar power stations in Victoria to Category:Solar power stations in Victoria (Australia) and Category:Proposed solar power stations in Australia

Nominator's rationale: Merge. Small category not part of an established tree. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:07, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note. The South Australia category lost the one article when, after the nomination, I saw that it was cancelled and no longer proposed. It has been recategorized. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:16, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Support Far too narrow scope for such a temporary category. I think the contents of the tree could be upmerged right up to Category:Proposed power stations in Australia – a grandparent category of the above categories which would contain only twelve articles if the various subcategories were upmerged. I don't think the "proposed" tree warrants this much subdivision at all. The entire contents of Category:Proposed wind farms would also easy fit on one page of a category if its children were entirely upmerged, for example. SFB 19:14, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:Tamil actresses to Category:Actresses in Tamil cinema

Nominator's rationale: Merge. Found as an incomplete nomination doing cleanup. Vegaswikian (talk) 22:59, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• do not merge These are two completely different concepts in two different category trees. The first is actresses who are ethnic Tamils; the second is actresses of any ethnicity appearing in Tamil films. Hmains (talk) 04:08, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep The latter category denotes performers by language, the latter by ethnicity. Both of these categories are useful in their own way. Indeed, there are people who do not perform in their ethnic language cinema (e.g. Aziz Ansari) and those of other ethnicities who perform in another language (e.g. Pooja Kumar). On that basis alone, the distinction is clearly warranted. SFB 19:23, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose this would assume that all Tamil actresses work in Tamil cinema. Tamil actresses that don't work in Tamil cinema would be excluded from cateogrization, and Tamil actresses would be diluted with non-Tamils working in Tamil cinema, so would no longer represent Tamil actresses. -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 06:41, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose renaming Category:Tragicomedy films to Category:Tragicomic films
• Propose renaming Category:Tragicomedy plays to Category:Tragicomic plays

Nominator's rationale: A film or a play can be a tragicomedy, but "tragicomedy" is a noun, not an adjective, making these category names somewhat redundant. I recommend renaming, using the adjectival form. --BDD (talk) 16:45, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose The current titles follow the proper naming convention. Category:Tragicomedy films is a sub-category of Category:Comedy films, not Category:Comic films. Fortdj33 (talk) 20:30, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete suffers from the usual "about" type categories: what reliable sources tell us that these are "tragicomed[ies]" or "tragicomic"?? Carlossuarez46 (talk) 19:37, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge as proposed and to Category:Ice hockey people from Ontario. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 22:52, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge Category:Ice hockey people from West Nipissing to Category:Sportspeople from West Nipissing.

Per this CFD[1], we don't subcategorize per what type of athlete a person is.

Propose this be a speedy merge....William 15:28, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge Category:Ice hockey people from Richmond Hill, Ontario Category:Sportspeople from Richmond Hill, Ontario.

Per this CFD[2], we don't subcategorize per what type of athlete a person is.

Propose this be a speedy merge. This category was only left out of the previous CFD by accident....William 12:08, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment -- Category:Ice hockey people from Ontario is an enormous category and probably needs splitting, but I would guess this should be by county (or whatever Ontario has below province), rather than by settlement. I think we took a wrong turn in deleting certain sport people from foo categories. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:29, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Peterkingiron: Similar to my suggestions on a recent football nomination, there is no need to always revert to location as a subdivision method (as the shrunken sportspeople cats indicate) when we could use something much more relevant and defining such as Category:Ice hockey forwards from Ontario. SFB 19:28, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge per nom - Very well established precedent and I disagree that a wrong turn was ever taking with this precedent. Rikster2 (talk) 13:30, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Support This level of sub-location is not a defining enough feature to warrant subdivision. SFB 19:28, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Upmerge per nom and precedent. For the record, the Richmond Hill category wasn't left out of the previous CFD by accident — it didn't even exist at the time of the CFD nomination, and was created sometime between the initiation and closure of the batch nomination. And I'll also be taking Category:Sportspeople from West Nipissing to a separate CFD, because that's a small town (pop. roughly 15K) whose basic Category:People from West Nipissing category isn't nearly large enough to require occupational diffusion — so if there's any significant delay in closure here (as is increasingly common these days), check the progress of that discussion to see whether the merge target needs to be revised to Category:People from West Nipissing instead. Bearcat (talk) 02:34, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. The article is not currently categorised by the real-life artists. If the page gets merged, then the category can of course be speedily deleted as empty. – Fayenatic London 00:14, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Category:MC Skat Kat albums. We don't credit albums to fictional artists. Additionally, the article on the album should just be merged to MC Skat Kat and the relevant categories be retained for the redirect (like Category:1991 albums). —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 09:28, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• You mean like Category:The Archies albums and Category:Spinal Tap (band) albums? :) --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 21:29, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars: The Archies have members and so do Spinal Tap: they have performed live. MC Skat Kat is just a cartoon and there isn't even a credit for the actual performer(s). The Archies or Gorillaz have real members. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:52, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Category:Lightspeed_Champion_albums renamed to Category:Dev Hynes albums

Artist has gone by several names but the main article is now at Dev Hynes. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:23, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep – This is a Lightspeed Champion album and should be so categorised. By all means make it a subcat of Category:Dev Hynes albums. (What is the problem with categorising an album by the name on the sleeve?) Oculi (talk) 10:43, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Oculi: So we should have seven different categories for A Silver Mt. Zion? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:53, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Rename per nom. Please—one albums category per artist! The entire point of categories is to group articles with a specific connection. If albums are made by the same individual, they should be grouped together in a category!—regardless of the stage name that it was made under. Of course, the nominated category should be a category redirect. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 22:50, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Category:American female pop singer-songwriters and Category:American female rock singer-songwriters were already listed at WP:CFDWM for upmerging to their multiple parent categories based on previous discussions. As a result of this discussion, Category:Nigerian female pop singer-songwriters will be added for upmerging to its parents. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 22:47, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Per the result at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2014 November 11#Category:American pop singer-songwriters and Category:American rock singer-songwriters, all subcategories should be deleted. These are Category:Nigerian female pop singer-songwriters, Category:American female pop singer-songwriters, and Category:American female rock singer-songwriters. Snuggums (talk / edits) 04:36, 8 December 2014
• Delete all. Especially the rock singer-songwriter category. That's a quintuple intersection. pbp 05:55, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all. This is what happens when Wikipedians are confused about what a singer-songwriter actually is (I see it all the time in articles, e.g. "she writes her own songs, she's a singer-songwriter!"). It's a genre itself, not just a conjuctive of two verbs. Nymf (talk) 13:48, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
