The result of the discussion was: upmerge (non-admin closure) feminist 02:15, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: upmerge per WP:SMALLCAT, the further potential of Swedish syncretists in particular is very limited since currently we only have two articles worldwide in the syncretists tree. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:06, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Overcategorization as small category. Already covered by Category:eSports people—the title of "referee" is a novelty title for the category's sole member as no others claim the same title. czar 20:57, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: relisted, see here. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:23, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The inconsistency came to light with the recent creation of Category:English architects by type. The most suitable upper level category at the moment is Category:Architects by activity. In my view neither name works well, I would suggest Category:Architects by specialty fits better with the contents. Architects are architects, but they often specialise in, or are primarily known for their work on a specific building type. It is a similar approach to the existing Category:Engineers by specialty. There is the secondary question of whether Category:English architects by type is a premature, over specific subcategory, but I suppose this can be dealt with separately if needed.

Courts in the United Kingdom

[edit]
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 all per amended nomination. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:28, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The naming pattern "Courts of Foo" was agreed at CFD 2016 June 20. The parent "court systems by country" was renamed to Judiciaries by country at CFD 2016 May 21, but the UK already has Category:Judiciaries of the United Kingdom, E&W, NI, Scotland; however, it lacks sub-cats named per Courthouses. I acknowledge that all these nominations will need manual follow-up to recategorise contents, and I am happy to commit to that. – Fayenatic London 15:11, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Opinions are decidedly mixed here, and there isn't much policy basis to weight the arguments based on. More participation would be helpful.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ~ Rob13Talk 07:04, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 19:25, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Non defining category for an obscure decoration of the German Empire, which is not the highest grade either. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:30, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose but consider merging into parent category. The award was not "obscure" in the Grand Duchy and was held by some prestigious people. --Bermicourt (talk) 08:28, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Upmerge for Now I've struggled with this issue too: we have hundreds of awards categories that say "X is the highest award" which we normally find defining. But that award comes in 5 levels: 1st most important, 2nd most important, etc. Are levels 2-5 really the top level award we find defining? (All that being said, the parent category does not currently break out 1st Class and includes a lot of articles don't specify what level of award was received so I think a merge is the right move for now. Ultimately though, the articles should be updated to be more specific and the parent category should be renamed/purged to just contain 1st Class.)

  • Propose Purging/Deleting Category:Recipients of Austrian military awards and decorations
Nominator's rationale: Per the spirit of WP:C1, an empty category.
This is really just a cleanup nomination after we deleted all the subcategories here. This category is not empty but it should be because it only contains loose biography articles for people who won any military award from Austria. (These national categories are meant to hold subcategories for earning specific/defining awards.) If any new subcategories appear, no objection to recreating the category. - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:24, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Note: Notified Afil as the category creator and this discussion has been included in the WikiProject Austria. – RevelationDirect (talk) 02:24, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting Category:Order of the State of Republic of Turkey
  • Propose Deleting Category:Recipients of the Order of the State of Republic of Turkey
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:PERFCAT and WP:OCAWARD (WP:NONDEFINING)
When foreign leaders visit Turkey, or vice versa, the Order of the State of Republic of Turkey is given out as souvenir to commemorate the visit. Recipients like Harald V of Norway and Lech Wałęsa just don't seem to defined by this award. If you want to see the clutter this type of category creates at the article level, take a look the train wreck at the bottom of this article. If we delete this category, the recipients will still be listed here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:22, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Note: Notified Maurice Flesier as the category creator and I added this discussion to WikiProject Turkey. – RevelationDirect (talk) 02:22, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
