  • Propose Deleting Category:Recipients of the Order of the Yugoslav Star
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:PERFCAT and WP:OCAWARD (WP:NONDEFINING)
When foreign heads of state visited Yugoslavia or vice versa, they received the Order of the Yugoslav Star as a souvenir from the government as part of the official welcome. If you're wondering just how much category clutter these categories could possibly create for heads of state, just take a look at the train wreck at the bottom of this article. If we delete this category, the recipients will still be listed here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 23:48, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting Category:Order of the Royal House of Chakri
  • Propose Deleting Category:Knights of the Order of the Royal House of Chakri
  • Propose Deleting Category:Dames of the Order of the Royal House of Chakri
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OVERLAPCAT and WP:OCAWARD (WP:NONDEFINING)
The Order of the Royal House of Chakri is given to members of the royal family who are already well categorized under Category:Chakri dynasty. In some cases, it's given to foreign heads of state like George VI and Dwight D. Eisenhower. In both cases the award is secondary to the underlying reason for notability. If we decide to delete these categories, the foreign recipients are listed here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 23:47, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Paul 012: I normally listify before nominating but there's so many royal family members I thought the complete list would not be practical. But, based on your comment, I just copied the current contents of the category on the talk page right here so that, if you want to listify, you don't have to re-research the current category contents.

  • Propose deleting Category:Parishes in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cashel and Emly (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:NONDEF, these are mostly civil parishes, towns and villages that happen to coincide with Roman Catholic parishes. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:15, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • The WP articles are there because they are about a civil parish and/or a village, the Catholic parish is not a defining characteristic of the civil parish and/or village. They are essentially a different thing than the civil parish and/or village, and just mentioned in the article because they share name and area. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:55, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 07:19, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I was planning to just move this to Category:NCT (band), but there's not enough content to even warrant the eponymous category for this group per long-standing precedent and WP:OCEPON. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 19:13, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fictional applied scientists

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: merge to Category:Fictional scientists. Cerebellum (talk) 15:24, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, as it's quite unlikely that "applied scientist" exists as a real life occupation (or as a set of occupations). We neither have an article Applied scientist nor a Category:Applied scientists. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:01, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • That is another feasible solution. The original nomination may have a slight advantage in the sense that scientist is an occupation while the subcategories of Category:Fictional applied scientists refer to educational background rather than to occupation. For example, Tin-Tin Kyrano studied mathematics but wasn't occupied as a scientist or mathematician. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:00, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Nancy King live albums

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:Nancy King (jazz singer) albums (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 19:26, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming (hence upmerging) Category:Nancy King live albums to Category:Nancy King albums
Nominator's rationale: Not my area, but according to the article Nancy King (jazz singer) has only made one live album so at present this is a true WP:SMALLCAT. Apparently she has made 10 albums, so the potential is there for a respectable albums category by the standards of these things - but at present none of the studio albums have articles. Still, I'd tend to give her the benefit of the doubt on that front for the time being, and assume the lack of articles reflects bebop being less popular than One Direction rather than the albums themselves being non-notable.
