Category:Churches in Small City X

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 (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 06:45, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: These are all small categories (3 articles or fewer) that are unlikely to grow. TM 22:19, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Per WP:SMALLCAT, these are categories with little potential for reaching the standard of 5 or more articles. I've not included categories with 4 articles within them as they are close to meeting the standard.--TM 01:16, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: upmerge and salt. -- Black Falcon (talk) 02:15, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose deleting Category:Birds of Iraq (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
  • Propose deleting Category:Birds of Socotra
Nominator's rationale: These categories have been previously deleted (Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2015_May_18#Category:Birds_of_the_Palestinian_territories) and have been re-created without (afaics) any discussion. Note: Lists (e.g. List of birds of Iraq) are a much better way to record this information. Suggest salt. DexDor (talk) 20:21, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The endemic subcategory should be placed under Category:Birds of the Middle East. DexDor (talk) 15:19, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge all to [X] of the Middle East. -- Black Falcon (talk) 00:50, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: That an animal (e.g. Desert monitor or European green toad) is found in a small (on a global scale) political-geographic area is WP:NON-DEFINING. Example previous CFD: Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2015_May_18#Category:Birds_of_the_Palestinian_territories. DexDor (talk) 20:09, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Or upmerge the amphibians to a new category such as Category:Amphibians of the Middle East or Category:Amphibians of Western Asia. DexDor (talk) 06:21, 18 November 2017 (UTC) DexDor (talk) 14:35, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Manufacturers

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: delete. I will create a category disambiguation page per User:Marcocapelle's suggestion, but this should be considered an editorial action separate from the consensus in this discussion. -- Black Falcon (talk) 02:44, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Ambiguous title, and the lone entry can be better categorized in one or more subcats of Category:People by occupation —swpbT go beyond 16:31, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. Removal of direct placement of the subcategories in Category:Psychiatry is left to editorial judgment. -- Black Falcon (talk) 02:58, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: most of the subcategories are also in Psychiatry. Not a useful category. Rathfelder (talk) 08:09, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was:
Nominator's rationale: No useful distinction between the two categories. Many of the entries in prison medicine are to fictional characters Rathfelder (talk) 08:04, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose renaming Category:Films based on the Old Testament apocrypha to Category:Films based on the Deuterocanonical books
Nominator's rationale: rename in order to become more precise, these films are based on Book of Judith and Books of the Maccabees which are Deuterocanonical books. When renaming, the category should also be reparented. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:07, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: upmerge per WP:OCMISC, we usually don't classify things by what they are not. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:02, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: With only four articles, all of which are already interlinked, this is too few members for categorization (WP:SMALLCAT) —Farix (t | c) 09:57, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. -- Black Falcon (talk) 00:46, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: That an animal (e.g. European badger) is found in a small (on a global scale) geographic area is WP:NON-DEFINING. Example previous CFDs: Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2015_May_18#Category:Birds_of_the_Palestinian_territories and Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2014_May_19#Category:Insects_of_Andorra. There may be scope for creating a category for animals that are endemic to the Palestinian territories. A merge to categories for Western Asia could also be considered.

Medieval and early modern elections by year

The result of the discussion was: merge as nominated. ℯxplicit 00:42, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
more election categories
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, most categories only have one or two articles. Note that the 18th-century categories don't require a second merge target since all articles are in an 18th-century by continent subcategory already. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:37, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • With the proposed merge, all centuries will contain less than 30 direct articles per category, that is probably not excessively large. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:45, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
