Nominator's rationale: Although it's often reflected in the name of the treaty, the place where a treaty was concluded or signed is not particularly defining for the treaty. To some extent, this is overcategorization of unrelated subjects by shared naming feature. Good Ol’factory (talk) 21:44, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: move the two subcategories to parent Category:Bribery, then delete this category, per WP:OCASSOC. The category attracts articles of people who are not convicted for bribery and should not be here. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:15, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose renaming Category:Holy orders in the Catholic Church to Category:Clerical state in the Catholic Church
Nominator's rationale: rename, apart from the eponymous article the category has a much broader content than just Holy orders. Clerical state would be a better term, per e.g. this source. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:54, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • The alternative does not resolve the problem mentioned in the rationale. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:39, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Merge to Category:Satanic ritual abuse hysteria in the United States, as there is only one topic, the articles reference the hysteria epidemic not actual abuse,and the vast majority of the articles are in the other category. Guy (Help!) 16:51, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Merge as WP:SOFTDELETE because of WP:SMALLCAT; each of these currently only holds one page. User:Saadat Malik did a lot more of these at the start of June, and if this is approved then I propose to take this CFD as authority to manually merge any others that still contain only one or two pages. – Fayenatic London 14:08, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Pretty much identical scope? For any entry that cannot be dealt with as inside an identical scope should probably rather be subcategorised somewhere else? Chicbyaccident (talk) 07:38, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I wouldn't object to Category:Catholic ecclesiastical titles, but keeping the category name at offices does not harm either. I left Category:Holy orders in the Catholic Church‎ here as a subcategory but I do wonder what it is really meant for. With the current content, it is not quite about the topic holy orders (apart from the eponymous article). Marcocapelle (talk) 13:04, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure either. It is rather unclear. That's why I think this category merits some reconsidering. Chicbyaccident (talk) 13:30, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
