similar categories
Nominator's rationale: Per extensive past discussion on both "expatriates" and "expatriate footballers" categories, this is not a tree where we automatically create or want triple-intersected "Nationality-X expatriates in Country-Y" for every combination of X and Y that happens to describe one or two people -- it's a tree where people are supposed to be left in the parent categories, with a a dedicated category for any particular X+Y intersection in question created only when the number of potential articles is large enough to justify it navigationally. The question of whether a category tree is an "overall accepted subcategorization" scheme for the purposes of evading the WP:SMALLCAT rule is not determined by whether similar categories simply exist or not, because nothing stops anybody from creating any category at any time -- the question is determined by consensus around whether the tree warrants being subcategorized that narrowly or not, and past discussions on similar categories have suggested that it's not desirable in the "expatriates" tree. Certainly categories that have a significant number of entries can be left alone, but it's not a tree where every possible combination of X and Y is automatically fair game the moment there are just one or two possible entries. Yes, I'm aware that such categories are also proliferating for other countries as well -- but it's not feasible to batch them all together in one go, so it's better to start with one group and proceed from there.

  • keep these aren't only for footballers and some are fairly underpopulated and part of a general tree which you mention, although opine not needed, I think that having the tree which has been well-tolerated for a long time probably sufficiently indicates acceptance thus overriding the WP:SMALLCAT prohibition. An overall discussion on the wisdom of the tree and how small a cat should be tolerated would be welcome, but selective trimming probably doesn't get us there.

  • Propose renaming Category:Deaths from heart related cause to Category:Deaths from heart-related cause
Nominator's rationale: It should be "Deaths from heart-related cause" as "heart-related" is an adjective. —МандичкаYO 😜 17:31, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Eponymous small category for just the eponym and a destination list. As always, every company does not automatically get one of these just because it exists; it would be warranted if there were a lot of spinoff content that needed this for navigational reasons, but is not needed if all that exists is the standard "main article + destination list" that every airline always has.

  • Propose renaming Category:Medical Colleges in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to Category:Medical schools in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
Nominator's rationale: WP:NC for this tree is "medical schools", not "medical colleges", and even if it were "medical colleges" MOS:CAPS would require renaming for the miscapitalization of colleges anyway. Bearcat (talk) 16:46, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In Pakistan they are known as Medical schools are known as medical colleges like Khyber Medical College. So thats why I named it like that. Saadkhan12345 (talk) 06:22, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Muse

The result of the discussion was: rename Category:Muses to Category:Greek Muses, then Category:Muse to Category:Muses. – Fayenatic London 23:03, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: A discussion last year was closed no-consensus, because people spent more of the discussion arguing against those who felt it was deletable as not sufficiently distinct from Category:Artists' models than they did actually considering any alternative names. Since Category:Muses already exists for the classical Greek muses, disambiguation is necessary -- but I'm not sure what the most appropriate disambiguator would be, which is why I'm leaving it up for discussion. However, the category must be named in a plural, not singular, form as required by Wikipedia's naming conventions for categories of this type. Bearcat (talk) 16:14, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Non-defining (e.g. for Macaroni penguin). Note: Endemic categories could be created for a few articles (e.g. Kerguelen shag and South Georgia pipit). DexDor (talk) 07:06, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 06:08, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Category:Astrologers already exists, so the category system has no business further subcategorizing astrologers on the subjective question of whether they're "celebrities" or not. Upmerging not necessary, as everybody here is already in one or more appropriate astrologer subcategories. Bearcat (talk) 05:15, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

similar categories
Nominator's rationale: Being found in a particular European country is non-defining (e.g. for Myrmica salina or Pellenes brevis).  See previous CFDs  e.g. recently for spiders and in 2007. For info: Most were created by NotWith. DexDor (talk) 05:01, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This is a good point, but runs into a common problem when categorizing animals by distribution. For plants, there's a well worked-out system (the WGSRPD) which is used in the English Wikipedia (see WP:PLANTS/WGSRPD) and does indeed place Cyprus in Asia (see the categorization of Category:Flora of Cyprus). But for animals of any kind, there's no such detailed scheme available, and Category:Fauna of Cyprus is placed in multiple overlapping and inconsistent categories. Only the vague map at Category:Fauna by continent seems to be available to define what is meant by the continents for fauna, and this has no boundaries shown.

Botanical continents as defined by the WGSRPD
Agreed (biogeographicaly Cyprus is Asia rather than Europe) - I'll remove Cyprus from this nom. DexDor (talk) 14:33, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary level of categorization. Each of these categories contains only one article and it seems that each could only ever conceivably contain that one article. Jweiss11 (talk) 02:28, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Peterkingiron: The relevant articles are already in the parent category, Category:College football annual team awards by team, so an upmerge ispretty much the same thing as a delete here.
