The result of the discussion was: delete. Renaming the other category is a subject for a future discussion. MER-C 16:35, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: speedily deleted already under WP:G5. – Fayenatic London 13:14, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Promotional category obviously created by a sockpuppet of banned user Alex9777777. They have previously created essentially the same page, most recently (that I know of) as Category:Music "LF Top Songs ♪", but also in several other versions as well. PohranicniStraze (talk) 16:00, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This page is not related to Alex9777777, please do not delete the category!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Billboard_Hot_100_number-one_singles there is , then let it be and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Belarusian_music_chart_%22LF_Top_Songs%22 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Music proekt (talkcontribs) 16:17, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to parents. MER-C 16:36, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Architectural styles

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: split/merge. MER-C 16:39, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: the proposed outcome will result in the latter two categories having clearer names that are reciprocal, and are consistent with other Wikipedia categories analysed by two criteria. The first one Category:Architectural styles will hold articles on styles and sundry sub-categories, and a new Category:Architecture by style to hold the main sub-categories by style such as Category:Art Deco architecture. – Fayenatic London 15:14, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose merging Category:Healthcare reform by country to Category:Healthcare reform

Category:Climate change science

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 16:39, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Climatology defined as Climate science. Looked at articles to see if Climate change science was more economics side of climate change science but found no hint of that (except perhaps sub category Category:Climate change conferences‎ which may need moving to be a sub category of something more like Category:Climate_change_policy or Category:Climate_change_policy. Anyway categories are too similar, and I think they should be merged. crandles (talk) 16:27, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Will try to do that appropriately. crandles (talk) 11:02, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
While this is being discussed, Climate change science is a sub category of Climate which is a sub category of Climatology. Should Climatology be a sub category of Climate rather than other way around? I wouldn't know how to make such a change, nor would I be sure of appropriate reasons to make/change it one way or the other. crandles (talk) 11:00, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agree that climatology should be a subcategory of climate. Climatology is (just) the study of climate, while climate is the broader topic. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:33, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I would welcome such a discussion. If you have any comments to start that discussion, perhaps that could be done at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Climate_change#Categories or on the talk talk. crandles (talk) 13:10, 9 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Marcocapelle: You are correct, that does seem like a more focused alternative to this category.

Category:Scientists of medieval Islam

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:Medieval Muslim scientists. MER-C 09:33, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Scientists of medieval Islam to Category:Scientists of the Islamic Golden Age
Nominator's rationale: Clearer, better match to article space (medieval Islam redirects to Islamic Golden Age), better match to parent category Category:Islamic Golden Age (it has no "medieval Islam" parent categories). Note: if this is renamed a further CFD could propose renaming the subcategories. DexDor (talk) 18:44, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Would there be any advantage in renaming to Category:Scientists of the medieval Islamic world instead? DexDor (talk) 21:08, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm ok with Category:Medieval Muslim scientists - presumably we use "Muslim" when appropriate? Johnbod (talk) 03:55, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Wikipedia Hebrew templates

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/merge. MER-C 13:27, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Wikipedia Hebrew templates to Category:Wikipedia Hebrew script templates
    • Category:Devanagari script help pages to Category:Wikipedia Devanagari script templates
Nominator's rationale: The current names are inconsistent, poorly phrased, and/or misleading (the pages in the Devangari category are templates, not help pages). The Wikipedia {Foo} script templates naming convention is advantageous in that it clearly identifies each category as containing project maintenance templates related to a particular writing system. (Note: I am not including the subcategories, which also need to be renamed, until the broader question of naming conventions is decided. Pining the category creators, User:Gilgamesh~enwiki and User:Mahitgar.) -- Black Falcon (talk) 21:16, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
