The result of the discussion was: no consensus. I see three groups of approximately equal membership advocating for keeping, deletion, or modification in some other way. I am unable to find consensus to to anything at this time, so the status quo will remain. -- Tavix (talk) 23:42, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: In the on-going project to deal with the various "groups by size" categories, we've finally reached a case where there are significant groups organized to play music written for a five member ensemble of specified instruments. With the exception of the string quintet, of which we have only one example (the Boccherini Quintet), these are all in subcats. Evrything else is, yes, a five member band, or at least a band which had five members at some point in its history. And as for the larger numbers, this isn't defining.

Nominator's rationale: With only four articles, all of which area already interlinked, this is too few members for categorization (WP:SMALLCAT) —Farix (t | c) 12:46, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. -- Black Falcon (talk) 22:01, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Category that's a bizarre conflation of two WP:OCAT violations at once: mostly it's an inappropriate WP:SHAREDNAME category for things that happen to be named after St. Lawrence, although there are also a few inappropriate WP:OCASSOC entries for things that just have a vague and non-defining association with St. Lawrence (e.g. the chalice that Jesus used at the Last Supper, on the basis that Lawrence is claimed to have later had it in his possession for a short spell.) Neither of these are even valid bases for a category on their own, let alone smooshed into one catchall category that's trying to do both things simultaneously.

Nominator's rationale: WP:INDISCRIMINATE category for every lake or river, and some isolated bits of weirdness like historic geopolitical entities and an article about tourism, that happen to be located within one particular watershed. This is not a useful basis on which to categorize rivers or lakes, and it's doubly not a useful basis on which to categorize past or present town or city governments — Batiscanie is not and never has been a political entity, so it's not a valid or WP:DEFINING basis for categorizing things within it.

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: withdrawn (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 17:46, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, unneeded category layer with only two subcategories. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:21, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • "time" instead of "date": Category:Establishments by time, Category:Disestablishments by time
  • "administrative territorial entities" instead of "states and territories": Category:Administrative territorial entities. The term "states and territories" is problematic
    • as for the USA, Australia, India, Mexico these are terms for high-level country subdivisions, see e.g. States and territories of Australia. But the category contains all kinds of administrative territorial entities.
    • Also, in the "by language"-tree (Category:Administrative territorial entities by language) the term "countries and territories" is used, which is problematic as well, since it somehow restricts it to sovereign states and special territories that sometimes are treated like countries (Macao, Hong Kong, British Overseas Territories, Puerto Rico etc.).
So one could have
  1. Category:Administrative territorial entities by continent
  2. Category:Administrative territorial entities by language
  3. Category:Administrative territorial entities by time
    1. Category:Administrative territorial entities by time of establishment / inside Category:Establishment of administrative territorial entities
    2. Category:Administrative territorial entities by time of disestablishment / inside Category:Disestablishment of administrative territorial entities

  • While this sounds quite reasonable, it is not proper to unilaterally move the nominated categories while the discussion is still going on. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:16, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merging them definitely makes sense from a historical perspective. Assessing whether, for example, duchies and later kingdoms within the Holy Roman Empire should be treated as independent or subnational territories would become a very subjective task.

The result of the discussion was: merge, as WP:SOFTDELETE due to lack of participation. – Fayenatic London 15:39, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: downmerge, the scope of the two categories is largely overlapping and Church music seems to be a better name, per article Church music. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:07, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 06:37, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I'm not sure what this category is supposed to contain, but the majority of category pages are user pages so it is my belief that this was intended to be some sort of user category. If so, Violates WP:USERCAT as a category that cannot possibly foster encyclopedic collaboration. If it isn't a user category than it should still almost certainly be deleted as not useful for the encyclopedia. VegaDark (talk) 00:32, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Violates WP:USERCAT as a category that cannot possibly foster encyclopedic collaboration. "Tsundere is a Japanese term for a character development process that describes a person who is initially cold and even hostile towards another person before gradually showing a warmer side over time." This is not a useful feature to categorize users by. If users wish to convey this information, they can do it on their userpage; there is no need for a grouping of such users by way of a category.
