Propose renaming per the parent Category:Wikipedians by interest in a sport:
Catagories to be corrected

add your support/oppose/comment here
@SportsFan007 note that at least two of the categories have already been renamed to used "the", and should be struck from the list. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 06:31, 15 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Far-right politics in Brazil

The result of the discussion was: speedy keep. Keep per WP:SNOW, and also the filer is a block-evading sockpuppet who has been removing pages from this category. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 14:44, 16 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Irrelevant. Only has and most likely will ever have only 2 pages, why are already included in sub-cats. 49.180.135.233 (talk) 23:09, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Delete. Timrollpickering (Talk) 23:17, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Arbitrary and trivial classification with no clear criteria. Category includes biographies, methods of dying (Death by coconut, Water intoxication), and events (Dyatlov Pass incident, London Beer Flood, Death of Kendrick Johnson). ―Justin (koavf)TCM 22:46, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Nonviolence organizations based in Greece

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: keep, without prejudice to a wider discussion of Category:Nonviolence organizations/Category:Peace organizations. -- Black Falcon (talk) 18:20, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The Peace organisations category heirarchy is better populated. Rathfelder (talk) 21:45, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
There may be a case for merging all the subcats of Category:Nonviolence organizations by country, but that is not the proposal before here. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 07:54, 15 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I was contemplating doing just that, so I would like to know whether people think there is a useful distinction between nonviolence organisations and peace organisations and whether we should merge the whole category trees. The Greek category only has one entry, which is actually an ecology organisation, so it could be emptied. Rathfelder (talk) 09:23, 15 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The non-violence, peace and ecology categories overlap to some extent, but while they are closely-related, they are distinct. In this case, Ecological Movement of Thessaloniki appears to fit in all three, but not all organisations in any one of the categories will belong in the other two.
Not all organisations working for peace endorse a philosopy of non-violence, so I'd oppose a wider merge. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:19, 15 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Nonviolence organizations based in Basque Country

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, without prejudice against revisiting if/when there are more articles. However, I would suggest that it may be more appropriate to make the Basque connection via a subject-matter-based category (e.g. Category:Basque conflict or a subcategory) rather than a location-based category, especially as we do not generally categorize organizations by cultural region. -- Black Falcon (talk) 19:08, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only one article, which is already in Category:Nonviolence organizations based in France‎. Rathfelder (talk) 21:34, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Let me disagree. Northern Basque Country is a generic geographic, cultural area and/or administrative jurisdiction. It is only loosely related, by association, to the topic addressed in Category:Nonviolence organizations based in Basque Country. Iñaki LL (talk) 20:39, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Merge. Timrollpickering (Talk) 21:38, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: "Ministry" is ambiguous. Half the articles are religious organisations, the other half government ministries. I dont think the category can be rescued. Rathfelder (talk) 20:21, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This doesn't seem like a useful category, and it's not clear what or who should be included. Marquardtika (talk) 16:07, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose deleting Category:New Zealand first-class cricketers of South African origin (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Not sure this is a WP:DEFINING attribute to anyone in the category. Playing a certain format of cricket (not Twenty20 or List A, but just first-class) in New Zealand when the person was born in another country seems like WP:OVERCAT to me Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 13:40, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Merge. Timrollpickering (Talk) 17:14, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
more nominated categories
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, all the above categories contain only 1 or 2 articles. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:03, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please note that we usually do not delete categories forever (unless they are salted). If at some point in time Brisbane has more than a handful of churches per denomination we can simply recreate the category. I'm looking forward to see your new articles.

The result of the discussion was: delete. I will list this at WP:CFD/W/M in case some of the content needs to be recategorized first. -- Black Falcon (talk) 16:42, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The only edit of the creator; no inclusion criteria, a clear invitation to conduct original research. Ymblanter (talk) 12:00, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Merge. Timrollpickering (Talk) 14:42, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Currently "Myanmar" is a subcategory of "Burma", for reasons that escape me. As far as I know, it is not controversial that Burma and Myanmar are the same country. There are various historical categories on Wikipedia that use "Burma", but the convention seems to be that contemporary categories use "Myanmar". Kevinsam2 (talk) 04:10, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Edit: See Talk:Myanmar for the very long history of debate on this point. Current consensus is that we should use Myanmar. Kevinsam2 (talk) 07:38, 16 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
