Category:18th century in the Netherlands

The result of the discussion was: merge. MER-C 14:54, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Merge. Anachronistic; the country was the Dutch Republic until 1795, then Batavian Republic. Parent categories already contain the necessary sibling categories with those names. – Fayenatic London 22:28, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:33, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose deleting Category:Counts of Zeeland
  • Propose deleting Category:Countesses of Zeeland
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:OVERLAPCAT with Category:Counts of Holland and Category:Countesses of Holland respectively. Zeeland wasn't an independent county, the rulers were Counts of Holland and Zeeland together. Not surprisingly, Category:Counts of Zeeland is only parented to Category:Counts of Holland.

  • Still, it didn't have its own counts, and all counts included here are counts of Holland and Zeeland, or Flanders and Zeeland. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:42, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) DavidLeighEllis (talk) 19:23, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:OVERLAPCAT, the Dutch Golden Age covered the whole 17th century, so there is no need for two categories. No objection against leaving a soft redirect. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:32, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:LGBT-related anime and manga

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 to Category:LGBT-themed anime and manga. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:31, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: In keeping with the naming scheme of other theme related anime and manga categories. There has been a great deal of confusion about whether the inclusion of this category should be limited to anime and manga where LGBT are a main theme of the work or any anime and manga with one more more LGBT secondary and minor characters. Give the recent outcome of two RfCs at Talk:Sailor Moon that concluded against the later. In my view, this name change will help to clarify the scope of this category. —Farix (t | c) 13:07, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Merge. We don't divide categories that categorize by combinations of nationality and occupation into "deceased" and/or "living" subcategories. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:51, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Former bunraku theatres

The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:40, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT.
Bunraku is a traditional Japanese puppet show that is generally presented either in a Kabuki theater or in a very simple Bunraku theater. That simplicity means that it is difficul to establish notability about the theater buildings themselves and articlez instead focus on the troupes. I made a sincere attempt to populate these categories but I only moved the total article count form 1 to 2 total, the current and former theaters in Osaka. I don't see much room for growth, at least using online sources in English but no objection to recreating later if more content appears. RevelationDirect (talk) 00:26, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Note: Notified LordAmeth as the category creator and this discussion has been included in WikiProject Japan. – RevelationDirect (talk) 00:26, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
