Nominator's rationale: I stumbled across this poorly named category, which was being used by three completely unrelated templates to track errors. It is standard practice (in 2016, at least) to create one or more error-tracking categories for each template. I have changed all three templates to use their own dedicated tracking categories. I view this nominated category as an attractive nuisance; its name is too generic to be effective at conveying what is supposed to be in the category.
For reference, the three templates were Template:Athlema, Template:Cite avatar, and Template:Inflation. ‎ – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:50, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Birds of Switzerland

The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:53, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This was created a couple of years ago, a little after others in Europe were merged per the top discussion at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2014 August 8. The category's creator objected at Category talk:Birds of Switzerland to merging this one likewise, as in his opinion it is a valuable national category within Category:Birds by country as well as the proposed merge targets. However, as it contains only Category:Important Bird Areas of Switzerland, and all the other country categories for birds in Europe have been merged, I do not believe that this one is worth keeping. – Fayenatic London 19:08, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Per past CFD discussions and longstanding consensus of WP:LGBT, LGBT people are not subcategorized by individual country that their ancestors may happen to be from, but only by the general state of being African American or Asian American or Native American. While the latter is an appropriately WP:DEFINING point of categorization, it is not a defining characteristic to intersect LGBTness with the individual country that a person's ancestors happen to have come from. American LGBT culture does not, for example, treat people of Japanese descent differently than it treats people of Chinese or Cambodian descent (what you see in some people's Grindr profiles is "no Asians", not "some Asians depending which country"), and there's no major variation from one ethnicity to another in how widely LGBTness is or isn't accepted by their respective hyphenated-American cultural communities. So individual ethnic background simply is not a helpful or defining basis on which to subcategorize LGBT people. And with just 103 articles total among all of these categories combined, the parent category is not large enough to require this on WP:CATDIFFUSE grounds — it's a hindrance, not an aid, to navigating the category.

The result of the discussion was: rename, as no confusion seems likely. All the items on the disambig page which include the first word "The" are currently within this category, except for Rush's song which is based on two of the franchise's episodes – so it would not be wrong to add it anyway. – Fayenatic London 20:35, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Information, knowledge, and uncertainty

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. Obviously this result is without prejudice to a future proposal to rename or otherwise change the category. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:45, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete, while this category is meant to be a subcategory of Category:Microeconomics it mainly attracts a lot of non-microeconomic content, due to its ambiguous name. The category name is based on the JEL classification codes in economics but this context is probably unknown to most Wikipedians. In fact, within this entire category, only one grandchild Category:Decision theory is more or less about microeconomics (it's actually an interdisciplinary topic), so we may recategorize this one to Category:Microeconomics directly. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:10, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • No you are twisting my words. I was saying that "decision theory" is an interdisciplinary field (shared with psychology and statistics). "Information, knowledge and uncertainty" isn't a field at all, it's just something on the list of the JEL classification codes and it's a highly ambiguous title. If you want to keep it, you'd better point out what should be in this category and why (instead of the current incoherent content), just a WP:ILIKEIT is not good enough.
