The result of the discussion was: merging (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 05:57, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: It is unclear how "personnel" is more distinct that "people" and category is small in any case SFB 22:08, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete, as the sub-cat is already in the correct other parents. – Fayenatic London 21:22, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: No other content other than the merge target. No other country has such a tree and it is unclear what "executive" consists of without the business qualifier SFB 21:15, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Rename to Firefighter ranks (WP:NAC). DexDor (talk) 05:30, 4 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Firefighting officers to Category:Firefighting roles
Nominator's rationale: The current title suggests a container for people, rather than a container for roles as per current content. SFB 20:27, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 05:23, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There is the potential to misinterpret the current title as "artists who also engage in sport". The proposed change unambiguously suggests artists whose subject focus in sports SFB 19:48, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 05:29, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: All those in this category are distinguished bungee jumpers. The proposed is a more natural title for topic, rather than the more nebulous one. SFB 19:35, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Delete. Timrollpickering 10:49, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose deleting Category:Signatories of the Writers and Editors War Tax Protest (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Non-defining characteristic. The tax protest in question is itself a redirect. TM 18:33, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
To clarify, my point is that many, although probably not all, signatories defined themselves as war resisters specifically because of their participation in this protest. Daask (talk) 14:09, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It's amazing how convincing overwhelming opposition can be. It seems clear that y'all are right that this is WP:NON-DEFINING. If you don't mind, I'd like to empty the category myself so I can decide whether the parent categories Tax resisters and American anti–Vietnam War activists are appropriate on a case-by-case basis.

The result of the discussion was: Keep. Timrollpickering 22:30, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Defunct baseball team with just one entry and a subcategory. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 17:29, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It has enough topics to keep. This category brings order to the topic and should be kept. If you want Wikipedia to become less organized and harder to use, then delete it. spatms Talk:spatms 17:43, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: The category for the 1934 name "Rayne Red Sox" has now been deleted. As that CFD included support for merger to this category, it did not amount to sufficient consensus to delete this one.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, – Fayenatic London 08:24, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • No because what I am proposing is to have it merged to the players subcategory of this nominated category. It would not populate the nominated category any further. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:45, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:RFC

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:Wikipedia requests for comment templates. (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 05:36, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The concise rationale is: my word, as the category's author, that mistakes were made when naming it, and: my desire, as the category's author, to achieve the best possible corrective action. I was not interested in pursuing any of the "speedy" solutions because thoughtful discussion is needed most in this matter, at this time. Initially, discussion took place here, and is linked for consideration by anyone interested. Two titles emerged in that discussion as possibilities for renaming the category; they are:

Category:Wikipedia requests for comment administration and Category:Wikipedia requests for comment process

Between those two, and others that may be suggested, consensus will determine the best name. The category will be an administration tracking category for pages exclusive to the RfC process that does not commingle itself within content categories, nor its members among non-RfC-specific pages. The main category in its hierarchy will be Category:Wikipedia requests for comment and its main, "non-article", page will be Wikipedia:Requests for comment.

Instead of deleting Category:RFC when the appropriate title is determined, it should be fashioned into a soft redirect to either the renamed category, or to the main category, whichever accords with known best practice. I offer my thanks, in advance, to those who will participate in this discussion and help to best resolve it.--John Cline (talk) 02:59, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
