Nominator's rationale: Refers to media franchises owned by Comcast. It's an unnecessary parent category for Category:NBCUniversal franchises, because Comcast has no other media franchises besides NBCUniversal ones. Trivialist (talk) 22:00, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Category:Basshunter Songs" is incorrect. Category:Songs written by Basshunter can include non-Basshunter songs. Eurohunter (talk) 21:34, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry should have been a small s. If he wrote the song it's his song. The cats are trying to draw a finer distinction than is useful or clear. Legacypac (talk) 21:40, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
He don't need to write his songs also. Eurohunter (talk) 21:48, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Od Mishehu launched a series of cfds on this topic in 2017, the premise being that a given country should use either 'z' or 's' (but not a mixture thereof); eg France, Brazil, Bolivia, Iran, Angola, Greece, Poland, Israel, Puerto Rico, Turkey. While there was variation in support for 's' or 'z', there was consensus that there should be consistency at the country level. Oculi (talk) 20:49, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting:
  • Category:Establishments in Portland, Oregon by year
Propose merging:
Nominator's rationale: per WP:NARROWCAT, and per long-standing CFD consensus not to categorise establishments and disestablishments by city. (See e.g. 2012: London and 2019 February: Philadelphia and Pittsburgh)
As the table on the right shows, the Oregon categories are nowhere big enough to need splitting. If merged, the median size of the merged categories will be only 55 pages. The biggest category will be Category:2009 establishments in Oregon with only 89 pages, and the smallest will be Category:2017 establishments in Oregon with only 13 pages. (Note that the table is self-updating, so those totals may change)
The Portland categories do not fail the usual minimum threshold of 5 which is commonly applied to WP:SMALLCAT, but that threshold is a minimum not a mandate. There are many other reasons not to pursue ever-narrower intersections, including:
  1. A proliferation of narrow categories. This approach leads to the creation of dozens of extra categories for a city, causing maintemace headaches.
  2. If applied throughout a city's history, this approach creates a long thin tail. Alternatively, an arbitrary cutoff date is applied, which is confusing to both readers and editors. It leads to categories being created outside the scope, which then need CFD attention to merge.
  3. If we start categorising establishments by city, there will be endless CFD debates about which cities are suitable, and for what periods. Vast amounts of editor time will be used up in creating, populating and debating these categories for scores of cities.
--BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:26, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Another Believer: a median size of 55 for the merged categories is hardly big. Even the biggest merged cat would be less than half way to a pageful. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:11, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The table here is just a collection of ((PAGESINCATEGORY)) calls made by this one-off template. I think it might be worth seeing if I can make a generalised version of that template, because that sort of data would be useful in other group merge CFDs. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 09:14, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
In this case there is no need to subdivise Oregon, because the largest category post-merger would contain only 87 pages. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 23:23, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: dual merge. all except for Category:Palaces in Forlì, which is kept. (non-admin closure) DannyS712 (talk) 01:40, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT. Each of the above categories contain only 1 or 2 articles and there is limited growth potential. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:36, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I created this category and strongly oppose merger into a larger category. The list has room to grow.
A category of Palaces in Lazio becomes unwieldy if all but the largest city has its own category.
WP:Small does not define how large a list should be, but it should be more than a few.
Specifically for Viterbo, there could be additional entries for:[[3]]
  1. Palazzo Comunale
  1. Palazzo del Podestà
  2. Palazzo della Prefettura
  3. Palazzo delle Carceri
  4. Palazzo Farnese
  5. Palazzo Chigi
  6. Palazzo di Donna Olimpia Pamphili
  7. Palazzo Gentili-Anfanelli
  8. Palazzo Santoro
  9. Palazzo Doria, San Martino a Cimino (perhaps)
I object to merging Category:Palaces in Forlì. See [4] for over a half dozen other palaces that could be added to category.
I oppose the merger of Viterbo category with a larger category.

  • I'll strike the nomination of Forli because on it.wp there are more articles about palaces in Forli. With Viterbo it is a different issue, it.wp also has few articles and the book being referred to is about palaces in the province of Viterbo. As a side issue, it is nonsense that Category:Palaces in Lazio would become unwieldy after the merger, as it contains only 5 articles directly in the category. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:41, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • The large amount of palaces in Lazio are in the city of Rome, which has its own palaces category. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:09, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting Category:National Heroes of Turkey
Nominator's rationale: Probably per WP:SHAREDNAME maybe WP:V or WP:SUBJECTIVECAT
There is no main article for National Hero of Turkey nor is it mentioned anywhere in the Orders, decorations, and medals of Turkey main article and a Google search in English points to this category in Wikipedia. Reading through the articles, they all use the word "hero" (or "heroine") somewhere in the body like (e.g. "folk hero", "war hero", "remembered as a hero"). Maybe this is a good faith misunderstanding that categories are not the same as key words or maybe there is an obscure award without a main article. In any case, this category doesn't seem defining. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:21, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Union Cycliste Internationale Hall of Fame inductees
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:TOPTEN and WP:OCAWARD
The UCI Hall of Fame was a one-time list from 2002 of the all-time greatest people who "contributed to the glory and development of cycling sport throughout the world". This list was part of the grand-opening celebration of the Union Cycliste Internationale"s World Cycling Centre where the hall of fame is housed. This is not an ongoing award which inducts new people each year. The articles I looked at didn't mention the award except they all had Template:UCI Hall of Fame so this doesn't seem defining. The recipients are already listified here in the main article. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:06, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
