Category:Religion-related television episodes

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: merge to Category:Television episodes about religion. MER-C 05:36, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: While there might be an original idea behind the separation of this and Category:Television episodes about religion, it isn't shown in the scope or really in the name itself. Both categories are "Religion-related". Gonnym (talk) 19:11, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This cat contains 3 subcats - Category:Christianity-related television episodes, Category:Islam-related television episodes & Category:Jewish-related television episodes. If this cat is deleted, will its subcats be moved to Category:Television episodes about religion? Jim Michael (talk) 19:23, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, of course. Gonnym (talk) 22:00, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 05:47, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The parent Category:Eurasian Wikipedians has been deleted many times going back to a CfD in 2008, and it would seem the only purpose of this is to act as a container WP:SMALLCAT for Asian and European-ancestry Wikipedians. Delete and salt. Le Deluge (talk) 14:22, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Engineer regiments of the Swedish Army

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: merge. MER-C 05:53, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Most other members of Category:Engineer regiments just have a simple "country" format, there's only three members of this one so there's no need to distinguish between branches of the Swedish services. Le Deluge (talk) 14:10, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 05:47, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: For an organism such as Limpet or Umbonium giganteum being edible is a non-defining characteristic. Edibility is also subjective (see points made in cephalopds CFD).  Note: Category:Snail dishes should be placed in Category:Edible molluscs and Category:Gastropods.

Calvin University

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. MER-C 05:54, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Primary topic. Calvin College was officially renamed in July, and the relevant pages were renamed as Calvin University (Michigan). However, the other institution with the same name is more recent and appears to be a lot less notable, so I boldly moved it to Calvin University (South Korea) and promoted the Michigan one to Calvin University as WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Several incoming links about research on Nazi Germany and astronomy were for the Michigan one, so they were misleading but are now correct. – Fayenatic London 10:22, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: The only content of this category is the single subcat, Category:Pedestrian zones of Saint Petersburg, which should simply be upmerged to Category:Car-free zones. Anomalous+0 (talk) 12:59, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please note that the subcategory has not been nominated. That would be a separate discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:49, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Only 1 article, which barely alludes to censorship Rathfelder (talk) 20:27, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Of course. There is no Internet censorship in Taiwan. It is not possible. Only possible in other countries. Not Taiwan. Jidanni (talk) 00:08, 8 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Sydney New Year's Eve shows

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. MER-C 05:48, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The individual shows were deemed not notable at this mass AfD, and were all deleted and turned into redirects to the parent article, Sydney New Year's Eve. This category consists solely of redirects to that page, which is unlikely to change given the precedent set at that AfD; therefore, this category is unnecessary (especially since Category:Sydney New Year's Eve already exists to categorize the parent article and related topics). ♠PMC♠ (talk) 03:12, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
